Worked on the Cognigy/Webchat repository to deliver a major dependency upgrade for chat components, focusing on improving reliability, performance, and maintainability. Addressed both feature development and bug fixes by updating the @cognigy/chat-components package to version 0.65.1, which enhanced chat functionality and resolved related issues. Streamlined the dependency management process by cleaning up the package-lock.json file, removing unnecessary peer dependencies to reduce installation conflicts and support faster, more reliable installs. Utilized React and JavaScript for front end development, with careful attention to package management and JSON configuration, resulting in a smoother upgrade path for future component updates.
