12/05/2025, 6:07 PMHello, I'm new to the Typescript/React world, and am trying to use BAML for the first time. Not sure why I'm running into this issue for chat-interface.tsx. What's going on?

this is a preview url that should work!

very minor highlighting bug that i'm patching, but main docs will be live with this soon.
This should work tho 🙂
