To initialize the plugin, 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());
}

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);
});

  // you will get the message sent success response
  var chatMessage = sendMessageModelFromJson(value);
});
