### React Example
```tsx
import WidgetProvider, { FormDataProps } from "react-roast";
export default function App() {
const handleSubmit = async ({ message, screenshot }: FormDataProps): Promise => {
// Must return boolean value.
try {
// Send message to desired channel like, Slack or discord
return true;
} catch (e) {
return false;
}
};
return (
);
}
```
### NextJS App Example
```tsx
"use client";
import WidgetProvider, { FormDataProps } from "react-roast";
import { ReactNode } from "react";
export default function ReactRoastProvider({ children: ReactNode }) {
const handleSubmit = async ({ message, screenshot }: FormDataProps): Promise => {
// Must return boolean value.
try {
// Send message to desired channel like, Slack or discord
return true;
} catch (e) {
return false;
}
};
return (
{children}
);
}
```
In app/layout.tsx
```tsx
export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
return (
{children}
);
}
```
