Message component
The message component of the In-app Chat Kit provides the message list and message transmission features.
Note
If you don't need the Conversation List, you can directly use the message component.
- Message list: Allow you to view the message history of a chat.
- Message transmission: Allow you to send or receive one-to-one messages and group messages.
Integrate the message component into your project
Prerequisites
Integrate the In-app Chat Kit SDK into your project (finished the initialization and login are required). For more information, see Quick start.
Show the message component
ViewController.swift
import UIKit
import ZIMKit
/// your ViewController.swift
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
/// Call the following method to display the message component after login succeeded.
func showMessageListVC() {
let conversationID = "xxx" // Conversation ID. For one-on-one chats, it refers to the peer's userID. For group chats, it refers to the GroupID.
let type: ConversationType = .peer // Conversation type (one-on-one chats or group chats).
let messageVC = ZIMKitMessagesListVC(conversationID: conversationID, type: type)
navigationController?.pushViewController(messageVC, animated: true)
}
}
