How to add a widget at the top that scrolls with messages?

[demchenkoalex]

hey @kornha currently working on a v2 re-design of the package and I will make sure to include options to have widgets scrollable with messages on both top and bottom of the list. Thanks!

No timelines, I was going pretty fast with it for the last month or so, but now my parents came from my occupied home town after 5 years and I am helping them to build a new life in a new country, so had no chance to work on v2 recently. I am planning to do most of the work at the end of December and see how things will look for January 2024.

@prachishukla007 no update unfortunately, lots of work at the beginning of the year at my company. If your business depends on this issue, I would fork or look for alternatives as of right now. Will update as soon as there is progress (still 1 major architecture issue, then beta, then release)

If the new version isn't coming any time soon. I can fork this version and make a modification of this version. I think in textMessageBuilder() in message.dart. I can just create the textmessage like normal and then pass it to the builder. The builder can then decide to display the default text message with new widgets. Or make a whole new one.

What do you think?

Edit: Or I can add it to where the bubble is created. So include the default bubble potentially with whatever extra stuff is wanted.

Okay, I found a nice solution. I am adding locally a "pinned Widget" that will render a widget at the very top of the messages. Happy to create a PR for this if it will be helpful

[prachishukla007]

This is a use case I'm also concerned with. Do we have any solution for it?

[demchenkoalex]

figuring out last bits of architecture for v2, still in progress. I don't think there is a solution in v1 :/

确定 v2 架构的最后部分，仍在进行中。我认为 v1 中没有解决方案：/

When will v2 be released?

Looking forward to the v2, @demchenkoalex !

[demchenkoalex]

Yeah me as well :) continuing work now

[prachishukla007]

Kindly inform once Version 2 is finalized so that I can address this issue accordingly. Thanks.

[prachishukla007]

I tried to find any alternative of it but it doesn't seem like there is any solution of it right now. Yes, please update as soon as possible.
