Please update your phtm and JS component file as follow

1) phtml file

    <!-- ko template: getTemplate() --><!-- /ko -->
    phtml


<script type="text/x-magento-init">
{

    "*": {

        "Magento_Ui/js/core/app": {            
            "components": {

                "chatlist": {
                      "component": "JC_ChatSupport/js/component/chatlist",

                }

            }
