Is there a web client SDK for microsofts BotFramework

Question

I want to create my own chat using bot framework.

I managed to set up whole backend and now I'm stuck with frontend. I see that Microsoft has this:

https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/

But documentation is poor + I'm using Angular and I want to create my own chat control. So I'm looking a library that simply allows to send and receive messages over webchat channel.

Is there something like this already?

Webchat is what you want. Webchat is very robust, very customizable and has many options. I don't know if you've looked at more than just the docs folder, but the samples has many examples on how to do many things. Here would be a good place to get started.

You could of course build your own as a Direct Line client, but with all that webchat already does, I'm not sure why you would want to start from scratch.
