A simple, iOS 15-based messaging UI library built from the ground up for effortless integration with SwiftUI projects, inspired by MessageKit.
AllujaMessages requires:
- iOS 15+
- Swift 5.5+
Swift Package manager is the only supported package manager. Add AllujaMessages by copying the URL and adding it to your sources:
https://github.com/Alluja-LLC/Messages
All messages implement the MessageType protocol with a member MessageKind that determines the kind of message to be displayed. This information is then converted into a SwiftUI view. Above is the basic text message (.text(TextItem)). From top to bottom there are header, message, and footer views along with an avatar view to the left. All of these views are customizable via modifiers to the MessagesView declaration.
The input bar is a part of the MessagesView initializer and must be provided because AllujaMessages uses its focus state for scroll positiion handling. The input bar is completely customizable and can be any shape or size. BasicInputBarView is provided if you don't want to make your own.
To see all of the code documentation, go to the Implementation Guide.
AllujaMessages provides a small selection of different built-in message kinds including system messages (.system(AttributedString), shown near the top), image messages (.image(ImageItem), shown in the middle), and text messages (.text(TextItem), shown at the bottom).
You can make your own message kind by implementing the CustomItem protocol and using the .custom(CustomItem) enum value. You must also chain a .customRenderer modifier to your MessagesView declaration to be able to create a view for your custom kind. More details are available in the Implementation Guide.
