## Structure
|
|
Stream Chat Dart is a monorepo built using [Melos](https://docs.page/invertase/melos). Individual packages can be found in the `packages` directory while configuration and top level commands can be found in `melos.yaml`.
|
|
|
|
To get started, run `bootstrap` after cloning the project.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
melos bootstrap
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Packages
|
|
We provide a variety of packages depending on the level of customization you want to achieve.
|
|
|
|
### [`stream_chat`](https://github.com/GetStream/stream-chat-flutter/tree/master/packages/stream_chat)
|
|
A pure Dart package that can be used on any Dart project. It provides a low-level client to access the Stream Chat service.
|
|
|
|
### [`stream_chat_persistence`](https://github.com/GetStream/stream-chat-flutter/tree/master/packages/stream_chat_persistence)
|
|
This package provides a persistence client for fetching and saving chat data locally. Stream Chat Persistence uses Moor as a disk cache.
|
|
|
|
### [`stream_chat_flutter_core`](https://github.com/GetStream/stream-chat-flutter/tree/master/packages/stream_chat_flutter_core)
|
|
This package provides business logic to fetch common things required for integrating Stream Chat into your application. The `core` package allows more customisation and hence provides business logic but no UI components.
|
|
|
|
### [`stream_chat_flutter`](https://github.com/GetStream/stream-chat-flutter/tree/master/packages/stream_chat_flutter)
|
|
This library includes both a low-level chat SDK and a set of reusable and customizable UI components.
|
|
|
|
### [`stream_chat_localizations`](https://github.com/GetStream/stream-chat-flutter/tree/master/packages/stream_chat_localizations)
|
|
This library includes a set of localization files for the Flutter UI components.
|
|
|
|
## Flutter Chat Tutorial
|
|
|
|
The best place to start is the [Flutter Chat Tutorial](https://getstream.io/chat/flutter/tutorial/).
|
|
It teaches you how to use this SDK and also shows how to make frequently required changes.
|
|
|
|
## Example Apps
|
|
|
|
Every package folder includes a fully functional example with setup instructions.
|
|
|
|
We also provide a set of sample apps created using the Stream Flutter SDK at [this location](https://github.com/GetStream/flutter-samples).
