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 the 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
|
|
|
|
As of v5, the`stream_chat_flutter` package (UI) added support for web, macOS, Windows, and Linux - on top of the original support for Android and iOS. It has, however, been possible to target desktop and web since Flutter added support for these platforms using the `stream_chat_flutter_core` (builder) and `stream_chat` (low-level client) packages - this remains unchanged.
|
|
|
|
Please note that Flutter Web may have additional constraints due to not supporting all plugins that Stream Chat relies on. The respective plugin creators will address this over time.
|
|
|
|
### Setup
|
|
|
|
This section provides setup instructions for the respective platforms.
|
|
|
|
#### Android
|
|
|
|
The package uses [photo_manager](https://pub.dev/packages/photo_manager) to access the device's photo library. Follow [this wiki](https://pub.dev/packages/photo_manager#android-10-q-29) to fulfill the Android requirements.
|
|
|
|
#### 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.
|
|
|
|
Stream Chat also uses the [video_player](https://pub.dev/packages/video_player) package to play videos. Follow [this guide](https://pub.dev/packages/video_player#installation) to fulfill the requirements.
|
|
|
|
Stream Chat uses the [image_picker](https://pub.dev/packages/image_picker) plugin.
|
|
Follow [these instructions](https://pub.dev/packages/image_picker#ios) to check the requirements.
|
|
|
|
#### Web
|
|
|
|
For the web, edit your `index.html` and add the following in the `<body>` tag to allow the SDK to override the right-click behavior:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<body oncontextmenu="return false;"></body>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### macOS
|
|
|
|
For macOS Stream Chat uses the [file_selector](https://pub.dev/packages/file_selector#macos) package. Follow [these instructions](https://pub.dev/packages/file_selector#macos) to check the requirements.
|
|
|
|
You also need to add the following [entitlements](https://docs.flutter.dev/development/platform-integration/desktop#entitlements-and-the-app-sandbox) to `Release.entitlement` and `DebugProfile.entitlement`:
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<key>com.apple.security.network.client</key>
|
|
<true/>
|
|
<key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write</key>
|
|
<true/>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Which grants:
|
|
|
|
- Internet permission
|
|
- File access permission
|
