Chatto-Sendbird Library

chatbird-ios's Issues

Message Retry Support

Description

Currently I believe we properly show the fail icon next to a failed message, but tapping it doesn't re-send the message.

Set Up Continuous Integration

Description

Set up continuous integration to ensure that all changes to the library still compile and still allow the example to compile.

Add New Sections to README

There are several sections that could be added to the README that could help new users get started or understand how to use ChatBird:

• Overview (with GIFs as part of #8)
• Compatibility
  • Describe the iOS versions supported and what SendBird library version is supported.
• Usage
  • Show code snippets detailing how to instantiate and use the chat view controller.
  • If this can be broken down into sub-categories based on use-case, that could be helpful: For instance, you might have the first sub-category be "Presenting the Chat View" and show some code for that. Then have another sub-category be "Customizing the Chat Bubbles". And another might be "Adding Message Actions"
• Example
  • Walking through getting started with the example. What it does, where to update the Sendbird token, etc.

PanModal's page is a really good example of how to structure and the level of content we should go for.

Update Licenses Throughout Project

Description

We should have a consistent license and copyright in our headers. For both the example sources and the ChatBird sources.

Move Logic in Example to ViewModel

Description

Some of the example view controllers could be minimized by moving some of the logic around loading users or data into a ViewModel which has dependencies on SendBird and vends data the VC can display.

Publish Library and Set Version

Once we're sure we're ready for release, we should make this repo public and publish the library to the CocoaPods trunk.

For versioning, we can go with either:

1. 1.0.0
2. 0.1.0
3. 0.0.1

I would lean toward 1 and maybe 2 if we expect to make some big changes quickly? But open to discussion here.

Add GIF/GIFs to README

For people coming to the README and wanting to know what this library does, having a GIF showing a series of quick example use-cases could be good:

• Loading a chat view with messages (file, text and photo) in it
• Sending a message
• Retrying a message
• Sending a photo message

These GIFs should concentrate on the actual chat view and not show any of the other screens of the example that aren't included in the library.
