Getting started

Step 1: Add dependencies

Run in the project root directory:

flutter pub add flutter_im_list

Step 2: Initialize ChatController

@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
chatController = ChatController(
    initialMessageList: _messageList,
    timePellet: 60,
    scrollController: ScrollController());
}

Step 3: Add ChatList to the layout

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: Text(widget.title),
        ),
        body: ChatList(
          chatController: chatController,
        ));
  }

Step 4: Set initialization data

final List<MessageModel> _messageList = [
MessageModel(
    id: 1,
    content: "介绍下《ChatGPT + Flutter快速开发多端聊天机器人App》",
    ownerType: OwnerType.sender,
    createdAt: 1696142392000,
    avatar: 'https://o.devio.org/images/o_as/avatar/tx18.jpeg',
    ownerName: "Jack"),
MessageModel(
    id: 2,
    content:
        "当前ChatGPT应用如雨后春笋般应运而生，给移动端开发者也带来了极大的机会。本课程将整合ChatGPT与Flutter高级技术，手把手带你从0到1开发一款可运行在多端的聊天机器人App，帮助你抓住机遇，快速具备AI运用能力，成为移动端领域的AI高手。@https://coding.imooc.com/class/672.html",
    ownerType: OwnerType.receiver,

    avatar: 'https://o.devio.org/images/o_as/avatar/tx2.jpeg',
    ownerName: "ChatGPT"),
];

If not, you can assign _messageList to []。
