Conversation component

The conversation component of the In-app Chat Kit provides the chat list and chat features.

• Chat list: Allow you to view the data of your chat list and support automatic update of the chat list based on chat messages.
• Chat: Create one-on-one chats and group chats.

Integrate the conversation 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.

Add the conversation component

1. Import the In-app Chat Kit module.

import UIKit
import ZIMKit

/// your ViewController.swift
class ViewController: UIViewController {

}

2. Display the chat list component.

import UIKit
import ZIMKit

/// your ViewController.swift
class ViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

    }

    /// Call the following method to display the chat list after login succeeded.
    func showConversationListVC(_ sender: Any) {
        let conversationVC = ZIMKitConversationListVC()
        let nav = UINavigationController(rootViewController: conversationVC)
        nav.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
        self.present(nav, animated: true)
    }
}

Customize features

If the default conversation-relevant features and behaviors don't fully meet your needs, we allow you to flexibly customize those through the config we mentioned in this section.

import UIKit
import ZIMKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view.

        let conversationVC = ZIMKitConversationListVC()
        conversationVC.delegate = self
    }
}

extension ViewController: ZIMKitConversationListVCDelegate {

    /// Callback on a conversation clicked.
    /// - Parameters:
    ///   - conversationListVC: ZIMKitConversationListVC
    ///   - conversation: conversation model
    ///   - defaultAction: Clicking will jump to the message page by default.
    func conversationList(_ conversationListVC: ZIMKitConversationListVC, didSelectWith conversation: ZIMKitConversation, defaultAction: () -> ()) {
        // You can add your event handling logic here.
    }
}
