@deepgram/react 0.2.0
Section titled “@deepgram/react 0.2.0”@deepgram/react 0.2.0 adds runtime Voice Agent controls and makes React session lifecycle handling safer. The release updates the React layer for @deepgram/agents 0.1.2 and @deepgram/sdk 5.9.0.
Runtime controls and notifications
Section titled “Runtime controls and notifications”Use sendAgentMessage() to inject an agent message with "default", "queue", or "interrupt" behavior. Use updateListen(), updateThink(), updateSpeak(), and updatePrompt() to change supported agent settings during a session.
The provider and standalone hook now expose typed callbacks for protocol notifications, including confirmations for each runtime settings update. useAgentMode() and useDeepgramAgent() also expose the "thinking" mode and isThinking state.
Lifecycle and upgrade notes
Section titled “Lifecycle and upgrade notes”Start, stop, reconnect, and React StrictMode handling now clean up canceled or failed microphone, playback, and client-tool resources. Automatic start failures call onSdkError, or console.error when no callback is set. A manual start() call rejects instead.
This is a 0.2.0 release. Update exhaustive AgentMode switches to handle "thinking"; public context and hook result types add required members; registerClientTool() returns an unsubscribe function; and useDeepgramAgent().start() starts a fresh session and clears conversation.
See React Hooks & Provider and the migration guide for API details and upgrade examples.
