hippo_flutter_sdk 0.3.6

Hippo Flutter SDK is a plugin for Hippo, a platform for building and deploying mobile applications.

Hippo Flutter SDK

A Flutter plugin for integrating the Hippo customer support platform into your mobile applications. Hippo provides a complete suite of tools for live chat, in-app messaging, and user support.

Features

• Initialize the Hippo SDK with your application credentials.
• Display the chat conversations view.
• Initiate peer-to-peer chats between users.
• Get real-time updates on unread message counts.
• Clear all user data upon logout.

Getting Started

To get started, add the Hippo Flutter SDK to your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  hippo_flutter_sdk: ^0.1.2 # Check for the latest version on pub.dev

Then, run flutter pub get to install the package.

Android Setup

The Hippo SDK requires the Java-WebSocket library to function correctly. To avoid potential version conflicts with other plugins, this dependency is not bundled and must be added manually to your main application.

In your app-level android/app/build.gradle file, please add the following dependency:

dependencies {
    // ... other dependencies
    implementation 'org.java-websocket:Java-WebSocket:1.5.1'
}

Usage

First, initialize the SDK with your app key and user details. This is typically done when your app starts.

import 'package:hippo_flutter_sdk/hippo_flutter_sdk.dart';
import 'dart:convert';

final _hippoFlutterSdkPlugin = HippoFlutterSdk();

void initHippo() {
  final config = {
    "appKey": "YOUR_APP_KEY",
    "userData": {
      "userUniqueKey": "UNIQUE_USER_ID",
      "fullName": "John Doe",
    },
  };
  _hippoFlutterSdkPlugin.initHippo(jsonEncode(config));
}

Once initialized, you can open the conversations view:

_hippoFlutterSdkPlugin.showConversations();
