Where to set presenceTimeout in Pubnub configuration ?

[unoravi]

I have few issues of NULL_SAFETY so I am using 4.0.0-beta.1 version in my code. I am not able to configure PresenceTimeout value into it. So I am not able to know from server that weather my connection is alive or not..

Please let me know if any else is implemented from your side.

Thanks

Hi, thanks for opening the issue!

Are you using PubNub SDK in a Flutter application?

[unoravi]

Yes.. I am facing an issue on both below dependency versions.

• https://pub.dev/packages/pubnub/versions/4.0.0-beta.1
• https://pub.dev/packages/pubnub (3.2.0 - latest version)

Please keep me posted if any updates on this..

Hello, sorry for not answering earlier.
In general, because PubNub SDK is not Flutter specific, we are not sending the Presence events by default (because it doesn't make sense in all use-cases). Instead we have opted into letting users manually handle presence or use Flutter specific mechanisms and extensions.

You can use pubnub.announceHeartbeat and pubnub.announceLeave methods to signal presence manually.

Additionally we are working on a set of Flutter specific widgets to help with Presence and other things, but its not currently released yet. You can take a look at the pattern we plan to use for Presence here.

@are
Almost all development platforms has Pubnub Auto Present Fill Feature (with given presence time) and it is one of the feature of it too.

By doing this, you are restricting dart to use pubnub features.

[are]

We are not restricting PubNub features from Dart - Presence is fully available in the Dart SDK. However, because of the way Dart ecosystem functions we want to give customers flexibility in how they want to interact with PubNub network.

If you are using Flutter, please feel free to use the Presence widget I've shown you in the previous message.
If you still believe that we need to include automatic Presence sending feature into the base Dart SDK, I will add it as a feature request. Thanks for your patience!
