Initialising:

The chat service needs to be initialised. It is expected that the app will first create an AtClientService instance using the preferences and then use it to initialise the chat service.

initializeChatService(
        clientSdkService.atClientServiceInstance!.atClientManager,
        activeAtSign!,
        rootDomain: MixedConstants.ROOT_DOMAIN);

Usage

As a bottom sheet

FlatButton(
    onPressed: () {
        scaffoldKey.currentState
        .showBottomSheet((context) => ChatScreen());
    },
    child: Container(
        height: 40,
        child: Text('Open chat in bottom sheet'),
    ),
),

As a screen

class ThirdScreen extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _ThirdScreenState createState() => _ThirdScreenState();
}

class _ThirdScreenState extends State<ThirdScreen> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: Text('Chat Screen')),
      body: ChatScreen(
        height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height,
        incomingMessageColor: Colors.blue[100],
