Properties

audioMessageBuilder → Widget Function(AudioMessage, {required int messageWidth})?
See Message.audioMessageBuilder.
final
avatarBuilder → Widget Function(String userId)?
See Message.avatarBuilder.
final
bubbleBuilder → Widget Function(Widget child, {required Message message, required bool nextMessageInGroup})?
See Message.bubbleBuilder.
final

final
customBottomWidget → Widget?

final
customDateHeaderText → String Function(DateTime)?
If dateFormat, dateLocale and/or timeFormat is not enough to customize date headers in your case, use this to return an arbitrary string based on a DateTime of a particular message. Can be helpful to return "Today" if DateTime is today. IMPORTANT: this will replace all default date headers, so you must handle all cases yourself, like for example today, yesterday and before. Or you can just return the same date header for any message.
