Usage Example​

To Customise Callbacks​

Define a custom method like customSendHandler and pass it to the onSendMessageProp of the <RecordSendInputFabView/> component.

import React from "react";
import { View } from "react-native";
import {
  RecordSendInputFabView,
  OnSendMessageProp,
} from "@likeminds.community/chat-rn-core";

const MessageInputBox = () => {
  const customSendHandler = ({
    message,
    metaData,
    voiceNote,
    isSendWhileVoiceNoteRecorderPlayerRunning,
  }: OnSendMessageProp) => {
    console.log("Message sent:", message);
    console.log("Metadata:", metaData);
    console.log("Voice Note Details:", voiceNote);
    console.log(
      "Sent while voice note recorder/player running:",
      isSendWhileVoiceNoteRecorderPlayerRunning
    );
  };

  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
      {/* Other chat input components */}
      <RecordSendInputFabView onSendMessageProp={customSendHandler} />
    </View>
  );
};

const CustomMessageInputBox = () => {
  const { hideDMSentAlert, message, DMSentAlertModalVisible, onSend } =
    useInputBoxContext();

  const customSendHandler = ({
    message,
    metaData,
    voiceNote,
    isSendWhileVoiceNoteRecorderPlayerRunning,
  }: OnSendMessageProp) => {
    console.log("Message sent:", message);
    console.log("Metadata:", metaData);
    console.log("Voice Note Details:", voiceNote);
    console.log(
      "Sent while voice note recorder/player running:",
      isSendWhileVoiceNoteRecorderPlayerRunning
    );
  };

            <AddFilesView />
          </TextInputWrapper>
        </InputWrapperLeftSection>

        {/* Add RecordSendInputFabView component like this*/}
        <RecordSendInputFabView onSendMessageProp={customSendHandler} />
      </InputWrapper>
