📋 Requirements #

Flutter 3.0.0 or higher
Dart 3.0.0 or higher
A running WuKongIM server

📦 Installation #

Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  wukong_easy_sdk: ^1.0.0

Then run:

flutter pub get

🚀 Quick Start #

Step 1: Import the SDK #

import 'package:wukong_easy_sdk/wukong_easy_sdk.dart';

Step 2: Initialize the SDK #

// Create configuration
final config = WuKongConfig(
  serverUrl: "ws://your-wukongim-server.com:5200",  // Your WuKongIM server URL
  uid: "user123",                                   // Unique user identifier
  token: "your_auth_token",                         // Authentication token
  deviceId: "device_001",                           // Optional: Device identifier
  deviceFlag: WuKongDeviceFlag.app,                 // Optional: Device type (app/web)
);

// Get SDK instance and initialize
final easySDK = WuKongEasySDK.getInstance();
await easySDK.init(config);

Step 3: Set up Event Listeners #

// Listen for connection events
easySDK.addEventListener(WuKongEvent.connect, (ConnectResult result) {
  print("✅ Connected successfully!");
  print("Server version: ${result.serverVersion}");
  print("Time difference: ${result.timeDiff}ms");
});

easySDK.addEventListener(WuKongEvent.disconnect, (DisconnectInfo info) {
  print("❌ Disconnected: ${info.reason} (Code: ${info.code})");
});

// Listen for incoming messages
easySDK.addEventListener(WuKongEvent.message, (Message message) {
  print("📨 New message from ${message.fromUid}:");
  print("Content: ${message.payload}");
  print("Channel: ${message.channelId}");
});

// Listen for errors
easySDK.addEventListener(WuKongEvent.error, (WuKongError error) {
  print("🚨 Error: ${error.message}");
});

Step 4: Connect to Server #

try {
  await easySDK.connect();
  print("🎉 Connected to WuKongIM server!");
} catch (e) {
  print("💥 Connection failed: $e");
  // Handle connection error
}

Step 5: Send Messages #

// Create message payload
final messagePayload = {
  "type": 1,                           // Message type (1 = text)
  "content": "Hello from Flutter!",    // Message content
  "timestamp": DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch,
};

try {
  final result = await easySDK.send(
    channelId: "friend_user_id",              // Target user/channel ID
    channelType: WuKongChannelType.person,    // Channel type (person/group)
    payload: messagePayload,                  // Message data
  );

  print("✅ Message sent successfully!");
  print("Message ID: ${result.messageId}");
  print("Message Sequence: ${result.messageSeq}");
} catch (e) {
  print("❌ Failed to send message: $e");
}

Step 6: Clean Up (Important!) #

@override
void dispose() {
  // Remove event listeners
  easySDK.removeEventListener(WuKongEvent.connect, connectListener);
  easySDK.removeEventListener(WuKongEvent.message, messageListener);

  // Disconnect and dispose
  easySDK.disconnect();
  easySDK.dispose();

  super.dispose();
}

    // Handle timeout scenarios
  } else {
    print("💥 Unexpected error: $e");
    // Handle other errors
  }
}

💡 Best Practices #

1. Event Listener Management #

Always store references to your event listeners for proper cleanup:

class _ChatPageState extends State<ChatPage> {
  late WuKongEasySDK easySDK;
  WuKongEventListener<Message>? messageListener;
  WuKongEventListener<ConnectResult>? connectListener;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    easySDK = WuKongEasySDK.getInstance();
    _setupListeners();
  }

  void _setupListeners() {
    messageListener = (Message message) {
      if (mounted) {
        setState(() {
          // Handle message safely
        });
      }
    };

    connectListener = (ConnectResult result) {
      if (mounted) {
        // Handle connection
      }
    };

    easySDK.addEventListener(WuKongEvent.message, messageListener!);
    easySDK.addEventListener(WuKongEvent.connect, connectListener!);
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    // Always clean up listeners
    if (messageListener != null) {
      easySDK.removeEventListener(WuKongEvent.message, messageListener!);
    }
    if (connectListener != null) {
      easySDK.removeEventListener(WuKongEvent.connect, connectListener!);
    }
    super.dispose();
  }
}

2. Connection State Management #

class ConnectionManager {
  static bool _isConnected = false;

  static bool get isConnected => _isConnected;

  static Future<void> ensureConnection() async {
    final sdk = WuKongEasySDK.getInstance();

    if (!sdk.isConnected) {
      try {
        await sdk.connect();
        _isConnected = true;
      } catch (e) {
        _isConnected = false;
        throw e;
      }
    }
  }

  static Future<void> sendMessage(String channelId, dynamic payload) async {
    await ensureConnection();

    final sdk = WuKongEasySDK.getInstance();
    await sdk.send(
      channelId: channelId,
      channelType: WuKongChannelType.person,
      payload: payload,
    );
  }
}

3. Message Payload Structure #

// Recommended message payload structure
final messagePayload = {
  "type": 1,                                    // Message type (1=text, 2=image, etc.)
  "content": "Hello, World!",                   // Message content
  "timestamp": DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch,
  "extra": {                                    // Optional extra data
    "mentions": ["user123"],                    // Mentioned users
    "reply_to": "message_id_123",              // Reply to message
  }
};
