inapp_chat library

A simple, complete chat system for Flutter, pluggable across Cloud Firestore, Appwrite, and Supabase.

This entry point exports the backend-agnostic core only. Import the ChatBackend implementation you use directly, e.g.:

import 'package:flutter_inapp_chat/inapp_chat.dart';
import 'package:flutter_inapp_chat/backends/firestore_chat_backend.dart';

This keeps cloud_firestore/firebase_storage, appwrite, and supabase_flutter APIs out of your build unless you actually reference them.
