Message Header

Overview

MessageHeader is a React component designed to display the header for chat messages. It typically includes information such as the sender's name, the time the message was sent, and potentially other relevant details. This component enhances the chat experience by providing context and clarity for each message, helping users to quickly identify who sent a message and when it was sent.

Customisations

The MessageHeader customisations can be done using chatBubbleStyles

Usage Example

• In your app, create a CustomChatroomScreen file, wrap it with the ChatRoom context provider.
• Now, you can pass your own message header component as prop to the ChatRoom context provider

import {
  ChatRoom,
  ChatroomHeader,
  MessageList,
  MessageInput,
  useChatroomContext,
  useMessageListContext,
