How can we know the attachmentLayout in Microsoft Directline rest api for client?

Question

I am working in a client application which can read messages from an MS Bot using the 'Directline Api for Client' given in the https://docs.botframework.com/en-us/restapi/directline/#!/Conversations/Conversations_GetMessages documentation.
But,how will I determine how to display those attachments, in a list or in a carousel?

As in documentation given for a bot connector (https://docs.botframework.com/en-us/restapi/connector/#!/Conversations/Conversations_SendToConversation), a bot can post messages to the directline api and it tells how to display them (in the key attachmentLayout).

In the Client Api, there is no such or related key. So, how can I determine this value from the Api?

In the json that's sent to your client you should see an attachmentLayout property:

{ "type": "message", "attachmentLayout": "list", "text": "",...

What's the Client API you're using? Sounds like it's missing a mapping for that property.
