### Usage

TL;DR

See the example app in the `example` folder. It contains `BasicChat` & `AdvancedChat` pages.
* BasicChat contains only text messages, it's good to see minimum requirements to have package up & running.
* AdvancedChat sample contains all the supported message kinds and related action events like quick reply button tap event, also scrolling to bottom is activated.

This lib requires some abstract classes to be implemented to get started.
* `Message`
* `ChatUser`
* `QuickReplyItem` (if `MessageKind.quickReply` is going to be used)
* `CarouselItem` (if `MessageKind.carousel` is going to be used)

Note that `packages/swifty_chat_mocked_data/lib/src/mock/models` folder contains `Mock...` prefixed classes are the concrete implementation of the related abstract classes.

For a chat app, you need messages right, so here what you need to have a message;

```dart
abstract class Message {
final ChatUser user;
final String id;
final bool isMe;
final MessageKind messageKind;
}

MockMessage(
user: MockChatUser(userName: "Enes"),
id: DateTime.now().toString(),
isMe: true,
messageKind: MessageKind.text("My First Message"),
)
```

As you see above;
* You need a `ChatUser` which means you need to have a class that extends from `ChatUser`, in our case its `MockChatUser`.
* id to have unique messages.
* isMe is to differentiate UI.
* MessageKind is to determine how the message UI is going to look like.

*What kind of message kind exists?*

[MessageKind](packages/swifty_chat_data/lib/src/models/message_kind.dart)

```dart
class MessageKind {
MessageKind.text(String text);
MessageKind.imageProvider(ImageProvider imageProvider);
MessageKind.quickReply(List quickReplies);
MessageKind.carousel(List carousel);
MessageKind.html(String html);
MessageKind.custom(dynamic? custom);
}
```

### Message widget tap actions

You can be notified about message widget press actions

* QuickReply

```dart
Chat(..)
.setOnQuickReplyItemPressed((QuickReply item) {});
```

* Carousel

```dart
Chat(..)
.setOnCarouselItemButtonPressed((CarouselButtonItem item) {});
```

* Html

```dart
Chat(..)
.setOnHTMLWidgetPressed(
() => {
"onLinkTap": (url, _, __) =>
debugPrint("onLinkTapped: $url"),
"onImageTap": (src, _, __) =>
debugPrint("onImageTapped: $src")
},
);
```

* For rest (Image, Text)

```dart
Chat(..)
.setOnMessagePressed((Message message) {});
```

### Avatar

To set avatar for a `ChatUser`, simply pass `avatar` parameter of the related user.

```dart
UserAvatar({
required this.imageProvider, // ImageProvider
this.size = 40,
this.position = AvatarPosition.center, // top, center, bottom
});
```
