React Native Integration (WebView)
This page provides a high-level overview of how Skin.Chat can be integrated into a React Native application.
Overview
Skin.Chat can be embedded into a React Native app using a WebView-based integration.
In this setup:
Skin.Chat runs as a web component inside a WebView
The native app hosts and displays the Skin.Chat UI
User interactions and events can be forwarded from the WebView to the native layer
Skin.Chat is provided as a UI-based solution and is not available as an API-only integration.
Integration Approach (High-Level)
The React Native integration follows these principles:
WebView-based rendering Skin.Chat is rendered inside a WebView using an HTML page that loads the Skin.Chat script.
Haut.AI–provided setup The exact HTML structure, script URL, and configuration are provided by the Haut.AI team as part of the integration process.
Persistent user identification A stable external User ID must be passed from the native app to Skin.Chat to enable long-term memory and conversation continuity.
Event forwarding (optional) Key Skin.Chat events can be forwarded from the WebView to the native app if required.
Requirements
To integrate Skin.Chat into a React Native app, you will need:
Access to the SaaS admin panel
An active Skin.Chat instance (Chat ID)
A persistent external User ID from your authentication system
A React Native app that supports WebView rendering
Camera permissions enabled (for skin analysis)
Setup Process
The React Native integration is implemented by following the instructions provided by the Haut.AI team.
These instructions include:
the WebView configuration
the HTML structure used inside the WebView
the correct Skin.Chat script URL
required platform permissions (iOS / Android)
Due to platform-specific requirements, the implementation details may vary between projects.
Long-Term Memory
For long-term memory to work correctly:
the same external User ID must be passed to Skin.Chat on every session
changing the User ID will result in Skin.Chat treating the user as new
Limitations
Skin.Chat is embedded as a WebView, not as a native component
API-only or backend-only integrations are not supported
Checkout and payments are handled outside of Skin.Chat
Available features depend on platform capabilities (camera, media permissions)
Support
For React Native integration:
follow the implementation guide provided by the Haut.AI team
