This guide will assist you in getting started with the LikeMinds Flutter Chat SDK and setting up a dynamic chatroom in your application. Simply obtain the required API key from the LikeMinds dashboard and unlock the power of real-time messaging in your app.

Add dependency

Then add the package as dependency in pubspec.yaml

Usage

To start using the package, import it in your main.dart file

import 'package:likeminds_chat_fl/likeminds_chat_fl.dart';

After adding the import, get an instance of the LMChatClient class using initiateLikeMinds() static method and initialize it with your API key, and an instance of the LMSdkCallback class.

 // Initiate the LMChatClient instance
  final LMChatClient lmChatClient = LMChatClient.initiateLikeMinds(
    apiKey: "YOUR_LM_API_KEY",
    sdkCallback: YOUR_CALLBACK,
  );

tip

Maintain this instance of the LMChatClient class throughout your application. You can use it to access the different methods exposed by the package.

LMSdkCallback

The LMSdkCallback class is a callback class that is used to listen to analytic events from the LikeMinds Chat package. It has 3 methods that you can override to listen to events from the package.

class YourCallback extends LMSdkCallback {
  @override
  void eventFiredCallback(String eventKey, Map<String, dynamic> propertiesMap) {
    // Implement eventFiredCallback
  }

  @override
  void loginRequiredCallback() {
    // Implement loginRequiredCallback
  }

  void logoutCallback() {
    // Implement logoutCallback
  }
