Understanding setup for `stream_chat_flutter`
|
|
|
|
### Add pub.dev dependency
|
|
|
|
First, you need to add the `stream_chat_flutter` dependency to your `pubspec.yaml`.
|
|
|
|
You can either run this command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
flutter pub add stream_chat_flutter
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
OR
|
|
|
|
Add this line in the dependencies section of your pubspec.yaml after substituting latest version:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
dependencies:
|
|
stream_chat_flutter: ^latest_version
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can find the package details on [pub.dev](https://pub.dev/packages/stream_chat_flutter).
|
|
|
|
### Details On Platform Support
|
|
|
|
`stream_chat_flutter` was originally created for Android and iOS mobile platforms. As Flutter matured,
|
|
support for additional platforms was added and the package now has experimental support for web and desktop as
|
|
[detailed here](https://getstream.io/blog/announcing-experimental-multi-platform-support-for-the-stream-flutter-sdk/).
|
|
|
|
However, platforms other than mobile may have additional constraints due to not supporting all plugins,
|
|
which will be addressed by the respective plugin creators over time.
|
|
|
|
### Setup: iOS
|
|
|
|
The library uses [flutter file picker plugin](https://github.com/miguelpruivo/flutter_file_picker) to pick files from the os.
|
|
Follow [this wiki](https://github.com/miguelpruivo/flutter_file_picker/wiki/Setup#ios) to fulfill iOS requirements.
|
|
|
|
We also use [video_player](https://pub.dev/packages/video_player) to reproduce videos.
|
|
Follow [this guide](https://pub.dev/packages/video_player#installation) to fulfill the requirements.
|
|
|
|
To pick images from the camera, we use the [image_picker](https://pub.dev/packages/image_picker) plugin.
|
|
Follow [these instructions](https://pub.dev/packages/image_picker#ios) to check the requirements.
