Chatify File Message

File message provider for Chatify. Defines FileMessage content and a FileMessageProvider that renders files and provides a composer action to pick and upload arbitrary files.

Installation

flutter pub add chatify_file_message

Usage

Register the provider when initializing Chatify:

import 'package:chatify/chatify.dart';
import 'package:chatify_file_message/chatify_file_message.dart';

await Chatify.init(
  currentUser: currentUser,
  chatRepo: chatRepo,
  messageRepoFactory: (chat) => messageRepoFor(chat),
  uploaderFactory: (attachment) => uploaderFor(attachment),
  messageProviders: [
    FileMessageProvider(),
  ],
);

The provider adds a composer action labelled “File” that returns MediaComposerResult with file metadata and bytes. Chatify uploads using your AttachmentUploader, then calls MessageRepo.add(...) with the final URL.
