asyncCreateNewGroupConversation function

Future<void> asyncCreateNewGroupConversation({ required String conversationName, required String userId, required String description, required String groupName, required List<Map<String, String>> users, })

Creates a new group conversation and stores it in the local storage.

This function creates a new group conversation with the provided details, initializes it with a welcome message, and stores it in the local storage using GetStorage.

Parameters:

• conversationName: The name of the new group conversation.
• userId: The ID of the user creating the conversation.
• description: A brief description of the group conversation.
• groupName: The name of the group.
• users: A list of users participating in the group conversation. Each user is represented by a map containing their details.

Throws an Exception if there's an error writing to GetStorage.

Implementation

Future<void> asyncCreateNewGroupConversation({
  required String conversationName,
  required String userId,
  required String description,
  required String groupName,
  required List<Map<String, String>> users,
}) async {
  try {
    // Initialize GetStorage
    final box = GetStorage();

    // Generate a unique identifier for the conversation
    String conversationUUID = const Uuid().v4();

    // Initialize the conversation with a welcome message
    var messageConv = messageSchemaGroup(
      content: '',
      isSender: false,
      reaction: users
          .map((user) => {
                'userId': user['userId'],
                'seen': false, // Default value for seen
                'distributed': true, // Default value for distributed
              })
          .toList(),
      autoMessageId: 'automessageid:conversation-start',
      users: users,
    );

    // Get existing conversations list
    List<Map<String, dynamic>> conversationsList =
        (box.read<List<dynamic>>('sunday-message-conversations') ?? []).cast<Map<String, dynamic>>();

    // Define new conversation
    var conv = conversationSchema(
      name: conversationName,
      description: description,
      userUuid: userId,
      notes: '',
      messagesPerBox: 25,
      isGroup: true,
      conversationUUID: conversationUUID,
    );

    // Add the new conversation to the list
    conversationsList.add(conv);

    // Write updated conversations list
    await box.write('sunday-message-conversations', conversationsList);

    // Write the new conversation messages
    await box.write(
        'sunday-message-conversation-$conversationUUID', messageConv);
  } catch (e) {
    // Log the error
    sundayPrint('Error writing to GetStorage: $e');

    // Throw an exception to be handled by the caller
    throw Exception('Error writing to GetStorage');
