Introducing chat

The meeting chat object is stored in meeting.chat, which has methods for sending and receiving messages. There are 3 types of messages that can be sent in chat - text messages, images, and files.

The meeting.chat.messages array contains all the messages that have been sent in the chat. This is an array of objects, where each object is of type DyteChatMessage.

We support three types of chat messages, they are as follows

  • Text Message
class DyteTextMessage {
  let userId: String
  let displayName: String
  let read: Bool
  let pluginId: String?
  let message: String
  let time: String
  let channelId: String? = null
}
  • Image Message
class DyteImageMessage{
  let userId: String
  let displayName: String
  let read: Bool
  let pluginId: String?
  let link: String
  let time: String
  let channelId: String? = null
}
  • File Message
class DyteFileMessage{
  let userId: String
  let displayName: String
  let read: Bool
  let pluginId: String?
  let name: String
  let time: String
  let link: String
  let size: Int64
  let channelId: String? = null
}

All above objects are of type DyteChatMessage along with their own class variables.
