WIP: Adding New chat button

[nakul-py]

Adding + Chat button into the Jupyterlite Ai chat with the help of creating new header for button.

• Closes Ability to create new chats and move them to the main area #111
• Always happy and ready for work on suggested changes.

[nakul-py]

I use this Icon here because creating chatsidebar with header changes the Jupyterlite icon. So, I use this already created JupyterLite AI chat icon after successfully creating a chatsidebar with a header.

@jtpio and @brichet you have any other way to get back the old icon after rendering chatsidebar? Please share the idea.

Thanks @nakul-py for working into this.
If I understand correctly this PR, there would be one chat in the side panel, and the other ones would be created in the main area ?

I wonder if we could find a way to reuse the multi-chats panel from jupyterlab-chat.
This panel could probably be moved to the @jupyter/chat package and be reused in jupyterlab-chat and @jupyterlite/ai.

@brichet will you reference the main-chats panel from https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyter-chat and @jtpio your suggestions will helps too.

@brichet will you reference the main-chats panel from https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyter-chat and @jtpio your suggestions will helps too.

To clarify, the repository https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyter-chat contains several packages:

• @jupyter/chat that provides generic widgets and model to add a chat (this is the package used in jupyterlite-ai)
• jupyterlab-chat that depends on @jupyter/chat, and provides widgets and model for chat based on collaborative documents (that cannot work in jupyterlite at the moment)
• jupyterlab-chat-extension that provides the plugins for a chat extension based on collaborative documents.

The multi-chats panel is currently defined in jupyterlab-chat, and can (probably) only be used with a chat based on collaborative documents.

But I wonder if we could make that multi-chats panel generic enough to be defined in @jupyter/chat, and to not depend on collaborative documents.

This change should be done in jupyter-chat itself, to then be used in jupyterlite-ai. That way we wouln't duplicate the multi-chats implementation.

[nakul-py]

@brichet would you have any plan on how to make multi-chats panel generic

[brichet]

I opened jupyterlab/jupyter-chat#261 to track it in jupyter-chat.

Hey @brichet Is MultiChatPanel is available globally in @jupyter/chat after release so we can use it.
