Description
While this feature is directly related towards shiny.ui.Chat, I'm posting the issue here as it is targeted towards chatlas.
Goal: Set and submit user value and display streaming result as if the user had done it.
Using await chat.chat_async("NEW_MSG") does not update the Shiny UI, but it'd be really cool if it did.
Current work around:
@reactive.effect
@reactive.event(trigger)
async def _():
chat_ui.update_user_input(value="who is the tallest skywalker")
add_chat_entry = ui.HTML("""
<script>
setTimeout(async () => {
const enterEvent = new KeyboardEvent('keydown', {
key: 'Enter',
code: 'Enter',
keyCode: 13,
which: 13,
});
// Dispatch the 'Enter' event on the input element
console.log("Dispatching Enter event");
document.querySelector("textarea#chat_user_input").dispatchEvent(enterEvent);
}, 500);
</script>
""")
ui.insert_ui(add_chat_entry, "body")

Research direction
Start with the chat.chat_async("NEW_MSG") path and the Shiny UI integration around chat_ui.update_user_input and textarea#chat_user_input. Compare the current workaround with the desired behavior, then verify that programmatic user values update the UI and display the streaming response as if submitted interactively.
