Block registry

Pre-styled Tailwind blocks you copy into your project with a single command.

Blocks are complete, styled UI components built on top of the @arlopass/react-ui primitives. Instead of installing them as a dependency, the CLI copies the source files into your project so you have full control over the code.

Install a block

npx @arlopass/ui add chat

Available blocks

CLI commands

# Add a single block
npx @arlopass/ui add chat

# Add multiple blocks
npx @arlopass/ui add chat chatbot provider-picker

# List available blocks
npx @arlopass/ui list

# Overwrite existing files
npx @arlopass/ui add chat --force

# Preview without writing files
npx @arlopass/ui add chat --dry-run

# Custom output directory
npx @arlopass/ui add chat --out src/ui

Configuration

On first run, the CLI creates a arlopass-ui.json file in your project root. You can edit it to change the output directory or other settings.

// arlopass-ui.json — auto-created on first `add`
{
  "outputDir": "src/components/arlopass",
  "typescript": true
}

Chat block

A full chat interface with message list, streaming indicator, input field, and send/stop buttons. Wrap it in an ArlopassProvider and you're ready to go.

import { ArlopassProvider } from "@arlopass/react";
import { ArlopassChat } from "./components/arlopass/chat";

function App() {
  return (
    <ArlopassProvider>
      <ArlopassChat
        systemPrompt="You are a helpful assistant."
        placeholder="Ask me anything…"
      />
    </ArlopassProvider>
  );
}

Chatbot widget block

A floating chat widget that renders a toggle bubble in the corner of the screen. Opens an expandable panel with the full chat interface. It wraps ArlopassProvider and guard components internally — just drop it anywhere.

import { ArlopassChatbot } from "./components/arlopass/chatbot";

function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>My App</h1>
      {/* Floating chat widget — renders a bubble in the bottom-right */}
      <ArlopassChatbot
        buttonLabel="Ask AI"
        position="bottom-right"
        systemPrompt="You are a customer support agent."
      />
    </div>
  );
}

Provider picker block

Styled provider and model selection dropdowns. Fires an onSelect callback when the user confirms their choice.

import { ArlopassProviderPicker } from "./components/arlopass/provider-picker";

function Settings() {
  return (
    <ArlopassProviderPicker
      onSelect={(providerId, modelId) => {
        console.log("Selected:", providerId, modelId);
      }}
    />
  );
}

Connection banner block

Shows contextual banners based on the Arlopass extension connection state: an install prompt when not detected, a reconnect message when disconnected, and a success indicator when connected.

import { ArlopassConnectionBanner } from "./components/arlopass/connection-banner";

function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <ArlopassConnectionBanner installUrl="https://chromewebstore.google.com" />
      {/* rest of your app */}
    </div>
  );
}

Install button

A styled button/link that directs users to install the Arlopass extension. Use inside <ArlopassNotInstalled> or any "not installed" fallback.

import { ArlopassInstallButton, ArlopassNotInstalled } from "@arlopass/react";

function Header() {
  return (
    <header>
      <h1>My App</h1>
      <ArlopassNotInstalled>
        <ArlopassInstallButton installUrl="https://chromewebstore.google.com" />
      </ArlopassNotInstalled>
    </header>
  );
}

Extension required gate (feature-level)

Wraps a feature that needs the Arlopass extension. When the extension is missing, shows a fallback prompt. When installed, renders the feature normally. Use for individual AI-powered features in apps that also work without Arlopass.

import { ArlopassExtensionGate, ArlopassInstallButton } from "@arlopass/react";

function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>My App</h1>

{/* This feature only shows when the extension is installed */}
      <ArlopassExtensionGate
        fallback={({ installUrl }) => (
          <div>
            <p>AI search requires the Arlopass extension.</p>
            <ArlopassInstallButton installUrl={installUrl} />
          </div>
        )}
      >
        <AIPoweredSearch />
      </ArlopassExtensionGate>

{/* This feature hides silently when no extension */}
      <ArlopassExtensionGate>
        <AIChatWidget />
      </ArlopassExtensionGate>
    </div>
  );
}

App required gate (full-app)

Blocks the entire app when Arlopass is not installed. Use this when your app cannot function at all without the extension.

import {
  ArlopassProvider,
  ArlopassRequiredGate,
  ArlopassInstallButton,
} from "@arlopass/react";

function App() {
  return (
    <ArlopassProvider appId="my-app">
      <ArlopassRequiredGate
        fallback={({ installUrl }) => (
          <div style={{ textAlign: "center", padding: 40 }}>
            <h2>Arlopass Required</h2>
            <p>This app needs the Arlopass extension to work.</p>
            <p>Install the extension to connect your AI providers.</p>
            <ArlopassInstallButton installUrl={installUrl} />
          </div>
        )}
      >
        <MainApp />
      </ArlopassRequiredGate>
    </ArlopassProvider>
  );
}

After copying, the block source lives in your project. Edit the markup, swap Tailwind for your own design system, add props — it's your code now. The primitives from @arlopass/react-ui remain as npm dependencies for behaviour and state management.
