| 5 | +--- |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +The `Checkpoint` component provides a way to mark specific points in a conversation history and restore the chat to that state. Inspired by VSCode's Copilot checkpoint feature, it allows users to revert to an earlier conversation state while maintaining a clear visual separation between different conversation segments. |

| 143 | +## Usage with AI SDK |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +Build a chat interface with conversation checkpoints that allow users to restore to previous states. |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +Add the following component to your frontend: |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +```vue [pages/index.vue] |
| 150 | +<script setup lang="ts"> |
| 151 | +import { useChat } from '@ai-sdk/vue' |
| 152 | +import { nanoid } from 'nanoid' |
| 153 | +import { computed, ref } from 'vue' |
| 154 | +import { |

| 175 | +
|
| 176 | +const { messages, setMessages } = useChat() |
| 177 | +const checkpoints = ref<CheckpointType[]>([]) |
| 178 | +
|
| 179 | +const messagesWithCheckpoints = computed(() => { |
| 180 | + return messages.value.map((message, index) => { |
| 181 | + const checkpoint = checkpoints.value.find( |
| 182 | + cp => cp.messageIndex === index |
| 183 | + ) |
| 184 | + return { message, index, checkpoint } |
| 185 | + }) |
| 186 | +}) |
| 187 | +
|
| 188 | +function createCheckpoint(messageIndex: number) { |

| 199 | + // Restore messages to checkpoint state (assuming setMessages API is the same) |
| 200 | + setMessages(messages.value.slice(0, messageIndex + 1)) |
| 201 | + // Remove checkpoints after this point |
| 202 | + checkpoints.value = checkpoints.value.filter( |
| 203 | + cp => cp.messageIndex <= messageIndex |
| 204 | + ) |
| 205 | +} |
| 206 | +</script> |
| 207 | +
|

| 235 | + </div> |
| 236 | +</template> |
| 237 | +``` |
| 238 | + |
| 239 | +## Use Cases |
| 240 | + |
| 241 | +### Manual Checkpoints |
| 242 | + |
| 243 | +Allow users to manually create checkpoints at important conversation points: |
| 244 | + |
| 245 | +```vue |
| 246 | +<Button @click="createCheckpoint(messages.length - 1)"> |
| 247 | + Create Checkpoint |
| 248 | +</Button> |
| 249 | +``` |
| 250 | + |
| 251 | +### Automatic Checkpoints |
| 252 | + |
| 253 | +Create checkpoints automatically after significant conversation milestones: |
| 254 | + |
| 255 | +```tsx |
| 256 | +watch( |
| 257 | + () => messages.value.length, |
| 258 | + (length) => { |
| 259 | + // Create checkpoint every 5 messages |
| 260 | + if (length > 0 && length % 5 === 0) { |
| 261 | + createCheckpoint(length - 1) |
| 262 | + } |
| 263 | + } |
| 264 | +) |
| 265 | +``` |
| 266 | + |
| 267 | +### Branching Conversations |
| 268 | + |
| 269 | +Use checkpoints to enable conversation branching where users can explore different conversation paths: |
| 270 | + |
| 271 | +```tsx |
| 272 | +function restoreAndBranch(messageIndex: number) { |
| 273 | + // Save current branch |
| 274 | + const currentBranch = messages.value.slice(messageIndex + 1) |
| 275 | + saveBranch(currentBranch) |
| 276 | + |
| 277 | + // Restore to checkpoint |
| 278 | + restoreToCheckpoint(messageIndex) |
| 279 | +} |
| 280 | +``` |
| 281 | + |
| 282 | +## Props |
| 283 | + |
| 284 | +### `<Checkpoint />` |
| 285 | + |
| 286 | +:::field-group |
| 287 | + ::field{name="class" type="string" defaultValue="''"} |
| 288 | + The class name to apply to the component. |

| 293 | + |
| 294 | +:::field-group |

| 300 | +### `<CheckpointTrigger />` |
| 301 | + |
| 302 | +:::field-group |
| 303 | + ::field{name="tooltip" type="string" defaultValue="''"} |
| 304 | + The tooltip text to display when the trigger is hovered. |
| 305 | + :: |
| 306 | + ::field{name="variant" type="string" defaultValue="'ghost'"} |
| 307 | + The variant of the button (e.g., 'ghost', 'outline', 'solid'). |

| 309 | + ::field{name="size" type="string" defaultValue="'sm'"} |
| 310 | + The size of the button (e.g., 'sm', 'md', 'lg'). |
