Sending your first message #

Follow the step-by-step instructions below to authenticate and send your first message.

Authentication #

In order to use the features of MirrorFly Chat, you should initiate the Mirrorfly instance through user authentication with MirrorFly server. This instance communicates and interacts with the server based on an authenticated user account, allowing the client app to use the MirrorFly Chat features.

Here are the steps to sending your first message using the MirrorFly Chat:

Step 1: Initialize the MirrorFly Chat #

To initialize the Chat, place the below code in your main.dart file inside main function before runApp().

 void main() {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  Mirrorfly.init(
      baseUrl: 'https://api-preprod-sandbox.mirrorfly.com/api/v1/',
      licenseKey: 'your license key',
      iOSContainerID: 'your app group id');
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

Step 2: Registration #

Use the below method to register a user in sandbox Live mode.

Info Unless you log out the session, make a note that should never call the registration method more than once in an application

Note: While registration, the below registerUser method will accept the FCM_TOKEN as an optional param and pass it across. The connection will be established automatically upon completion of registration and not required for seperate login.

Mirrorfly.registerUser(userIdentifier).then((value) {
  // you will get the user registration response
  var userData = registerModelFromJson(value);
}).catchError((error) {
  // Register user failed print throwable to find the exception details.
  debugPrint(error.message);
});

Send a One-to-One Message #

Use the below method to send a text message to other user,

Note: To generate a unique user jid by username, you must call the below method

var userJid = await Mirrorfly.getJid(username);
Mirrorfly.sendTextMessage(message, jid).then((value) {
  // you will get the message sent success response
  var chatMessage = sendMessageModelFromJson(value);
});

Receive a One-to-One Message #

Here the listeners would be called only when a new message is received from other user. To get more details please visit this callback listeners
