chatify 0.1.6

Chat package for flutter

0.1.6

• Fix message mapping in web by adding type to MessageProvider and MessageContent

0.1.5

• Minor fixes

0.1.4

Addons

• Introduced addon system (ChatAddon, ChatAddonsRegistry) to plug optional features into the chat UI (headers, list wrappers, per-message wrappers, input wrappers, options, composer actions).
• Selection moved out of core into first-party addon: chatify_selection (provides selection header, drag-to-select listener, and per-message selection UI).

0.1.3

Massive refactor and new architecture. This release is a ground-up rewrite that decouples the UI from any specific backend. It is not drop-in compatible with 0.1.2.

BREAKING CHANGES

• Removed legacy Firebase-first API (ChatifyController, ChatifyOptions, built-in Firestore/Storage/Messaging glue)
• Introduced headless data layer contracts:
  • ChatRepo (chats pagination, create/find/delete, unread count)
  • MessageRepo (messages pagination, CRUD, reactions, seen/delivered, status)
• Introduced explicit initialization via Chatify.init with:
  • currentUser, chatRepo, messageRepoFactory, uploaderFactory, messageProviders
• Replaced message pipeline with provider-based rendering:
  • MessageProviderRegistry, BasicMessageProvider, MediaMessageProvider
  • ComposerAction, BasicComposerResult, MediaComposerResult
• New upload/progress model:
  • AttachmentUploader, MessageTaskRegistry, TaskProgress, UploadResult
• UI restructured:
  • ChatsPage with optional ChatsLayout and nested navigation to
  • MessagesPage with optional ChatLayout
• Domain models and helpers revised: Chat, User, Message, MessageContent, Result<T>, PaginatedResult<T>

Removed

• Tight coupling to Firebase (Firestore/Storage/Messaging). You must wire your own data/storage/notifications if needed.
• Old navigation helpers and options under ChatifyController.

New

• Composable, backend-agnostic chat UI for Flutter (mobile/web/desktop)
• Animated messages list with pending/failed queues and day separators
• Swipe-to-reply, copy, edit, delete, multi-select
• Extensible attachment menu fed by registered MessageProviders
• Built-in EN/AR localization maps (GetX .tr friendly)

Migration guide (from <= 0.1.2)

1. Delete usages of ChatifyController and ChatifyOptions
2. Implement ChatRepo and MessageRepo for your backend
3. Create one or more MessageProviders for your supported content types
4. Provide an AttachmentUploader for media uploads
5. Initialize:

   await Chatify.init(
     currentUser: me,
     chatRepo: MyChatRepo(userId: me.id),
     messageRepoFactory: (chat) => MyMessageRepo(chat: chat),
     uploaderFactory: (att) => MyUploader(attachment: att),
     messageProviders: [TextMessageProvider(), /* ... */],
   );
   

6. Replace UI usage:
   • Old: controller screens → New: ChatsPage → MessagesPage
   • Programmatic open: Chatify().openChatById(...) or .openChatByUser(...)

For the legacy API/README, see the previous package docs on pub.dev: chatify (<= 0.1.2).
