    • loadMoreRecent
    • loadMoreThread
    • loadingMore
    • loadingMoreRecent

Non breaking:

Websocket and Push

From this release when app goes to background, websocket connection will be dropped by default. This is necessary to allow push notifications.

We only send push notification, when user doesn't have any active websocket connection (which is established when you call client.connectUser). When your app goes to background, your device will keep the ws connection alive for around 15-20 seconds, and so within this period you won't receive any push notification. Until now, it was upto end user to drop the connection by explicitly calling client.closeConnection() or client.wsConnection.disconnect(), when app goes to background. But from this release, we have moved this functionality to OOTB.

  • If you don't have push system configured for your application, you can disable this functionality by adding a prop on Chat component - closeConnectionOnBackground={false}
  • As described earlier, please make sure you are on stream-chat >= 3.5.1

Other

  • Allow use of Channel component with uninitialized channel
  • Allow custom config of i18next config
  • UI fixes and animation improvements for reactions

[3.1.2] (2021-03-17)

NO CODE CHANGE

Fixed version.json during package publishing, which we use to track the version of RN sdk through client.setUserAgent call

[3.1.1] (2021-03-17)

Fixed type definition pointers in package.json

[3.1.0] (2021-03-15)

  • 🛑 BREAKING: Removed a prop handleOnPress on Input component.

  • Added support for new props on Input component, which can be used on Channel component as prop to replace undelying input component (reference)

    • closeAttachmentPicker (function)
    • openAttachmentPicker (function)
    • openCommandsPicker (function)
    • toggleAttachmentPicker (function)

  • Added support for new prop on Channel component - InputButtons, to replace the extra buttons on the left on input box #536

  • Added support for messageActions prop as callback. Also added support for prop messageActions on Channel component #548 Earlier you could override messageActions prop as following:

    <Channel
  messageActions=[
    {
      action: () => { /** Some message action logic */ };
      title: "Pin Message";
      icon: PinIcon;
      titleStyle: {};
    },
    {
      action: () => { /** Some message action logic */ };
      title: "Delete Message";
      icon: PinIcon;
      titleStyle: {};
    }
  ]
>
  {/** MessageList and MessageInput component here */}
</Channel>

    But now, you can selectly keep certain action and remove some:

    /** Lets say you only want to keep threadReply and copyMessage actions */
<Channel
  messageActions={({
    blockUser,
    copyMessage,
    deleteMessage,
    editMessage,
    flagMessage,
    muteUser,
    reply,
    retry,
    threadReply,
  }) => ([
    threadReply, copyMessage
  ])}
>
  {/** MessageList and MessageInput component here */}
</Channel>

  • Issue fix: make OverlayReactions customizable through props. c7a83b8

  • Issue fix: Image upload for expo and assets-library 5a2d0e8

  • Issue fix: Compatibility with jest as described in #508 a172c15

[3.0.0] (2021-02-23)

Version 3.x is a major revamp of the SDK and comes with many breaking changes. The new implementation takes advantage of React Context along with many popular community libraries such as Reanimated V2 to deliver a superior chat experience. Upgrading will require re-implementing your integration but will yield performance and functional benefits. It is highly recommended you read the Cookbook and examine the SampleApp / TypeScriptMessaging apps before upgrading to understand what is required.

New features

  • Modern UX around reaction picker functionality, similar to iMessage
  • Inline replies
  • "Also send to channel" option on Threads
  • In app attachment picker
  • Improved avatars for grouped channels.
  • Rich image viewers with options to share the image outside the app, or view the image in gallery view.
  • "Copy Message" action as part of message actions.

Improvements

  • In previous versions, we did a lot of prop drilling throughout component trees, which makes it quite hard for end user to decide exactly where to set a particular prop. We have tried to centralize component customization on following three higher order components:

    • OverlayProvider
    • ChannelList
    • Channel

    We have prepared a visual guide to help you with component customizations - Guide

  • In v2.x.x, we decided to move away from class based components, towards functional components along with react hooks. React hooks are definitely a big addition to react eco-system, but when not careful it has potential to hammer the performance. We have handled all these issues as part of v3.0.0 using careful revamp around all the contexts and memoizations, which improves the app performance by a great margin.

  • We have decided to abondon styled-components, are decided to have our own implementation

    • Removed dot notation for theming applications
    • Removed css string notation for styles on theme
    • Added displayName to components with bracket notation denoting the theme path e.g. MessageStatus.displayName = 'MessageStatus{message{status}}'; indicates the theme path would be modified via const customTheme: DeepPartial<Theme> = { message: { status: { ...customizations } } }. Please check our theme docs for more details.

Dependency changes:

Please find detailed docs about this release in our wiki

Note for Expo

  • As of this release, expo is on version 40 which uses a version of React Native with a bug in the Dimensions API that occurs upon reloading an app in the simulator. Version 3.x uses relative sizing widely and depends on this API so issues will be visible in Expo until they update the custom React Native version they ship.

  • [Android] As part of this release, we implemented a new feature - inline replies, similar to whatsapp. Bi-directional scrolling/pagination was necessary for this feature. To keep smooth scrolling experience, we implemented our own solution for react-native. Although, Expo being close-source project, we can't do any such thing for Expo. So inline reply feature is not recommended to use in Expo, since you will not have a good scroll experience on Android, while scrolling down in message list.

[2.2.2] 2021-02-07

Handling the case of standlone Channel component (without ChannelList) on top of fix in v2.2.1 - ba7d744

[2.2.1] 2021-02-03

BREAKING CHANGES

Typescript

This library has been moved to full typescript. Please check Typescript doc for details

Component prop changes

Channel

  • add additionalKeyboardAvoidingViewProps prop to allow custom keyboard props

ChannelListMessenger

  • remove setActiveChannel prop

ChannelPreviewMessenger

  • renamed the latestMessage prop to latestMessagePreview. This name change is more semantic to what the prop does and reduces confusion with the lastMessage prop

MessageContent

  • removed retrySendMessage prop in favor of retrySendMessage within MessagesContext

MessageInput

  • remove parent prop to parent_id as it needs to be just an id string instead of the entire parent object
  • add setInputRef prop to actually allow forwarding of the TextInput ref controls

MessageSystem

  • add formatDate prop to allow custom date formatting

ChannelContext

  • We have split the ChannelContext into three separate contexts to further modularize the code and reduce renders as items in context change. The following contexts now contain the following values, previously all held within the ChannelContext:

    • ChannelContext:

      • channel
      • disabled
      • EmptyStateIndicator
      • error
      • eventHistory
      • lastRead
      • loading
      • LoadingIndicator
      • markRead
      • members
      • read
      • setLastRead
      • typing
      • watcherCount
      • watchers

    • MessagesContext

      • Attachment
      • clearEditingState
      • editing
      • editMessage
      • emojiData
      • hasMore
      • loadingMore
      • loadMore
      • Message
      • messages
      • removeMessage
      • retrySendMessage
      • sendMessage
      • setEditingState
      • updateMessage

    • ThreadContext

      • closeThread
      • loadMoreThread
      • openThread
      • thread
      • threadHasMore
      • threadLoadingMore
      • threadMessages

  • All contexts are exported and any values can be accessed through a higher order component (ex: withMessagesContext) or with one of our custom context hooks (ex: access MessagesContext by const { messages } = useMessagesContext();).

[1.3.5] 2020-10-27

[1.3.4] 2020-10-13

  • Fixing keyboard glitch functionality for android a7f94b9

[1.3.3] 2020-10-05

  • Fixing retry upload functionality e89b87f

[1.3.2] 2020-10-02

  • SuggestionsList (for user-mentions feature in MessageInput) doesn't update the position as per keyboard position. For the time being, we have fixed this by dismissing the suggestions list when keyboard gets dismissed - 0fdff4f

  • Exported IconBadge and IconSquare components, to fix the tutorial f1b6a39

  • Added file size to file attachment 7e653a4

[1.3.1] 2020-09-29

No changes

[1.3.0] 2020-09-25

BREAKING CHANGES

MessageInput

  • Replaced the default image picker react-native-image-picker for react-native-image-crop-picker and added compressImageQuality prop to support image compression out-of-the-box
  • Added FileUploadPreview and ImageUploadPreview props to support custom overrides to those components

KeyboardCompatibleView and Channel component

Implementation of internal KeyboardCompatibleView has been changed so as to make animations smoother and fix existing issues with keyboard behavior. Support for following props have been dropped from Channel and KeyboardCompatibleView

  • keyboardDismissAnimationDuration
  • keyboardOpenAnimationDuration

Following new props have been introduced on Channel component. They are the same props accepted by KeyboardAvoidingView of react-native.

  • keyboardBehavior ['height' | 'position' | 'padding']
  • keyboardVerticalOffset

ChannelList

  • We converted the ChannelList component from a class to a function and abstracted the event listener logic into custom hooks. The default event handlers can still be overridden by providing custom prop functions to the ChannelList component. Custom logic can be provided for the following events:

    • onAddedToChannel overrides notification.added_to_channel default
    • onChannelDeleted overrides channel.deleted default
    • onChannelHidden overrides channel.hidden default
    • onChannelTruncated overrides channel.truncated default
    • onChannelUpdated overrides channel.updated default
    • onMessageNew overrides notification.message_new default
    • onRemovedFromChannel overrides notification.removed_from_channel default

  • All custom event handlers now accept two arguments, with the this reference no longer needed in the functional component.

    • 1st argument: setChannels reference to the useState hook that sets the channels in the React Native FlatList
    • 2nd argument: event object returned by the StreamChat instance

e.g.,

// In following example we will override the default handler for notification.added_to_channel
<ChannelList
  filters={}
  onAddedToChannel={(setChannels, event) => {
    setChannels(channels => {
      // Do additional actions on channels array.
      return channels;
    })
  }}
>
  • On upgrading to this release, ensure events and any custom handling functions (ex: onAddedToChannel or onMessageNew) are properly processed and update the list UI as expected.

FileUploadPreview

  • We fixed a bug for being unable to remove a file from the MessageInput and made it consistent to ImageUploadPreview
  • We have removed support for the fileUploadPreview.dismissText theme value
  • We have added support for fileUploadPreview.dismiss, fileUploadPreview.dismissImage, and fileUploadPreview.imageContainer theme values

MessageInput

  • We replaced the default image picker react-native-image-picker for react-native-image-crop-picker and added compressImageQuality prop to support image compression out-of-the-box
  • Added FileUploadPreview and ImageUploadPreview props to support custom overrides to those components

MessageSystem

  • Added formatDate prop to support custom date formatting

Deprecated Props

  • We have removed support for the MessageList component's onMessageTouch prop. Please use the onPress prop on the MessageSimple component to perform an action on touch of a message.

  • We have removed support for the Message component's readOnly prop. Please use the disabled value from the ChannelContext instead.

  • We renamed the latestMessage prop on the ChannelPreviewMessenger component to latestMessagePreview. This name change is more semantic to what the prop does and reduces confusion with the lastMessage prop.

  • We have also dropped support for the following MessageList props:

    • dateSeparator (use DateSeparator instead)
    • headerComponent (use HeaderComponent instead)

this Reference Removal

  • We have removed the this class component reference from the prop functions in MessageSimple. For example, if you wish to override the SDK's standard long press behavior on a message, the onLongPress function passed in to MessageSimple no longer takes the this component reference as it's first argument. The message and the event object become the first and second arguments, respectively.

renderText Function

  • The renderText function utilized in the MessageTextContainer component now accepts a single object containing markdownRules, markdownStyles, and message. Previously each value was a separate function parameter.

[1.2.0] 2020-08-21

NO BREAKING CHANGES

  • Following components have been converted to functional component from class based component.

    • Chat
    • KeyboardCompatibleView
    • SuggestionsProvider
    • AutoCompleteInput
    • Spinner

  • So far we exported bundled/transpiled version of components from package as single file - dist/index.js, dist/index.es using rollup. But now we are moving away from this approach and instead distributing original source of components since react-native handles bundling/transpiling part anyways. This also makes it easy for end-users to debug components exported from stream-chat-react-native.

[1.1.1] 2020-08-03

[1.1.0] 2020-07-31

  • Fixed exports of MessageStatus, MessageContent, MessageAvatar, MessageTextContainer components #268

  • Moving following components to functional components

    • ChannelPreview
    • ChannelPreviewMessenger
    • Attachment
    • Card
    • FileAttachment
    • EmptyStateIndicator, LoadingIndicator, LoadingErrorIndicator

  • Decoupled actionsheet from MessageInput component 59618ad

[1.0.0] 2020-07-29

We've already been on a v1 release for a while but never updated our versioning. Right now we're in the process of rewriting our components to be more future proof and we started using hooks, hence the v1.0.0 today.

Breaking change: stream-chat-react-native now relies on hooks and will need react-native >= 0.59.0 to work

Rewrite will involve following changes:

  1. Functional components instead of class based components
  2. Static typing using typescript
  3. UI tests

We are going to incrementally implement these changes and will try to keep everything backwards compatible unless really necessary.

[0.15.2] 2020-07-29

  • Exporting AutoCompleteInput component d41d0d5

[0.15.1] 2020-07-29 (Bad release)

[0.15.0] 2020-07-27

  • Upgrading @stream-io/react-native-simple-markdown to 1.2.1 d89f012

    It fixes the issue with markdown where text like "#stream" was treated as heading, thus disallowing anyone to use hashtags in chat.

  • Internal directory restructuring of components

[0.14.0] 2020-07-16

  • Fixing compatibility issues with react-native 0.63 88721a0
  • Updating stream-chat to 0.13.x 4af1b1d

[0.13.1] 2020-07-14

  • 84ded29 Bug fix - Only set active channel in ChannelList component on complete reload, which happens in following cases:

    • first load on chat
    • changes in filters

[0.13.0] 2020-07-08

  • Upgrading @stream-io/react-native-simple-markdown to 1.2.0. It fixes markdown related issues regarding line breaks
  • Added a new prop to the MessageInput component - sendImageAsync.

  • Allow search for special characters in mentions autocomplete a2cb083

[0.12.0] 2020-06-15

  • Improvements to autocomplete feature in MessageInput component.

Until now if your channel had more than 100 members, then you couldn't see members (besides first 100) in mentions popup box. This was because queryChannels api only populates 100 members in channel state and mentions feature was based on searching for members in channel state.

From now on, autocomplete input (specifically mentions autocomplete) will be api based search. So that mentions feature will work even for the channels with more than 100 members.

[0.11.0] 2020-06-01

Non breaking changes

UX improvements of ChannelList component

IMAGE ALT TEXT HERE IMAGE ALT TEXT HERE IMAGE ALT TEXT HERE

  • So far we only had LoadingErrorIndicator (which can be customized using prop LoadingErrorIndicator). This error indicator replaces the entire channel list on screen. So if your 2nd page of list results in error, we used to remove all the already fetched channels and show this full screen error indicator. Instead we have introduced following error indicators, which will be displayed at top of the list in case or error. Please note that if first page of queryChannels api results in error, we will display LoadingErrorIndicator

    • HeaderErrorIndicator
    • HeaderNetworkDownIndicator

  • Introducing following new props to ChannelList component

    • FooterLoadingIndicator {UI Component} To override default spinner at footer of channel list (introduced in this release)
    • HeaderErrorIndicator {UI Component} To override default HeaderErrorIndicator
    • HeaderNetworkDownIndicator{UI Component} To override default HeaderNetworkDownIndicator

  • Introduced pull to refresh functionality, to refresh the ChannelList in case of failure.

  • Adding following prop to LoadingErrorIndicator

    • retry {func} If you are using custom LoadingErrorIndicator for your ChannelList component, you can attach this function to CTA button to reload the ChannelList.

  • Added retry mechanism to ChannelList's queryChannels api call. In case of failure, api will be retried 3 times (max) at the interval of 2 seconds.

  • Moving external expo dependencies to peerDependencies
  • Fixing issue with MessageStatus not showing up on mount 61388c3

Prop changes to components (non-breaking)

  • MessageSimple

    new props

    • MessageReplies UI component to override default 2 replies text/component
    • MessageHeader UI component to add some content on top of message content (text, attachments)
    • ReactionList UI component to override default ReactionList component
    • supportedReactions Array of reactions which should be available or supported in reaction picker. Example

    deprecated props

    • emojiDate Please use supportedReactions instead

  • MessageAvatar

    new props

    • alignment ('right' | 'left')

  • MessageContent

    new props

    • All the new props to MessageSimple are available in MessageContent
    • alignment ('right' | 'left')

  • ReactionPickerWrapper

    In previous version, you could open reaction picker only after clicking/pressing ReactionList, which made it hard to change the functionality of ReactionList without copy pasting lots of code regarding opening of ReactionPicker. And also ReactionPicker logic was tightly coupled with MessageContent component (which meant added complexity) With ReactionPickerWrapper, we are taking out all the ReactionPicker related logic (setting the position of reaction picker at message which was touched) from MessageContent. So you can now add open reaction picker on press functionality on any component that you wish. You just need to wrap your component with ReactionPickerWrapper component.

    You can also adjust the relative position at which ReactionPicker opens up or shows up by altering offset prop on ReactionPickerWrapper.

    Default value is:

    {
    top: 40,
    left: 30,
    right: 10,
}

    NOTE: This component was present in repository in previous versions as well, but it was super buggy.

    TL;DR Enables you to build custom ReactionList, on touch of which, ReactionPicker will open up

    Please check this example from cookbook for details - https://github.com/GetStream/stream-chat-react-native/blob/vishal/docs-improvement/docs/cookbook.md#message-bubble-with-reactions-at-bottom-of-message
