## Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites installed:

- Node.js and npm/yarn: Make sure you have Node.js and npm (or yarn) installed on your development machine.

## Installation

First, install the SuprSend React Inbox package using npm or yarn:

```bash
npm install --save @suprsend/react-inbox
```

or

```bash
yarn add @suprsend/react-inbox
```

## Integration

Once you've installed the package, you can integrate the SuprSend In-App Notification Center into your React components.

```javascript
import SuprSendInbox from '@suprsend/react-inbox';

function Example() {
  return (
    <SuprSendInbox
      workspaceKey='<workspace_key>'
      workspaceSecret='<workspace_secret>'
      subscriberId='<subscriber_id>'
      distinctId='<distinct_id>'
    />
  );
}
```

In the above code snippet:

- `workspaceKey`: This is your SuprSend workspace key.
- `workspaceSecret`: This is your SuprSend workspace secret.
- `subscriberId`: This is the unique identifier of the subscriber.
- `distinctId`: This is the unique identifier for the user. It can be a user ID or any other identifier that you use in your application.

Ensure that you replace the placeholder values with your actual SuprSend credentials and subscriber information.

### Interaction with React Components - Example

For example, you can trigger the display of a notification message when a certain event occurs in your application. This can be achieved by calling the appropriate SDK method within your React components.

```react
import { SuprSendInbox } from '@suprsend/react-inbox';

function Example() {
  const handleClick = () => {
    // Trigger a notification message
    SuprSendInbox.showNotification('New message received!');
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={handleClick}>Show Notification</button>
      <SuprSendInbox
        workspaceKey='<workspace_key>'
        workspaceSecret='<workspace_secret>'
        subscriberId='<subscriber_id>'
        distinctId='<distinct_id>'
      />
    </div>
  );
