Info
Auto-Generated Documentation for the Flex UI is accurate and comprehensive, and so may differ from what you see in the official Flex UI documentation.
The Flex UI Component Library is built in React and published on NPM. @twilio/flex-ui is a node package that provides all the individual elements of the UI at the component level. It also provides a high-level API to interact with bundled SDKs such as the Voice JavaScript SDK, Programmable Chat, and TaskRouter.
With the Flex UI, you can:
- Configure the UI or customize default properties for standard Flex components
- Customize themes and styles
- Control localization and templates
- Add, replace, or remove components
- Listen for, receive, and customize UI events with UI actions
- Customize agent desktop notifications using the Notifications Framework
- Modify the behavior and appearance of native channels and define custom channels with the Task Channel Definition API
- Add task or theme context to your custom components
- Access and control underlying SDKs through the Flex Manager object
- Programmatically customize the UI using Plugin Builder
If you're building with the Flex UI, chances are you're also using Flex Plugins. The Flex UI documentation will provide you with the programming interfaces and best practices you need to augment the Flex UI. The Plugin docs will explain the development environment, and help set you up to take advantage of the Flex UI's programmability.
