Look up names, props, view slots, and style classes here before writing code. --- ## Rule: NEVER_INVENT_NAMES > ⛔ **Only the widgets in THIS catalog exist — do not invent or recall names from v4/older memory.** Before emitting any `CometChat*` widget, confirm it's listed below; if it's not here, it doesn't exist (→ "isn't a function/class" / undefined-name compile error). Do not invent names like `CometChatChat`, `CometChatMessenger`, `CometChatChatList`, `CometChatContactList`, `CometChatMessageView`, or `CometChatUserList` — they don't exist. > > **There is no all-in-one widget.** The v4-era composites `CometChatConversationsWithMessages` / `CometChatUsersWithMessages` / `CometChatGroupsWithMessages` / `CometChatMessages` and the `CometChatUI` god-widget were **removed in v6 and do NOT exist in `cometchat_chat_uikit` ^6.0** (verified against the v6 kit source — these names survive only in the CHANGELOG's removal history). Compose a two-pane experience yourself: `CometChatConversations` (list) → on `onItemTap`, push a messages screen hosting `CometChatMessageHeader` + `CometChatMessageList` + `CometChatMessageComposer` for the selected `User`/`Group` (each takes `user:` **or** `group:`, never both). See the Golden Path in `cometchat-flutter-v6-core`. --- ## 1. Chat Components ### CometChatConversations Displays a list of recent conversations with real-time updates (new messages, typing, presence, receipts). - **Location:** `chat_ui/src/conversations/cometchat_conversations.dart` - **Key props:** `onItemTap`, `onItemLongPress`, `conversationsRequestBuilder`, `usersStatusVisibility`, `receiptsVisibility`, `deleteConversationOptionVisibility`, `textFormatters`, `hideAppbar`, `hideSearch`, `conversationsBloc` - **View slots:** `listItemView(Conversation)`, `subtitleView(ctx, Conversation)`, `trailingView(Conversation)`, `leadingView(ctx, Conversation)`, `titleView(ctx, Conversation)`, `emptyStateView`, `errorStateView`, `loadingStateView` - **Style:** `CometChatConversationsStyle` - **Request builder:** `ConversationsRequestBuilder` ### CometChatMessageList Displays messages for a 1:1 or group conversation with real-time updates, reactions, threads, and smart replies. - **Location:** `chat_ui/src/message_list/widgets/cometchat_message_list.dart` - **Key props:** `user`, `group`, `messagesRequestBuilder`, `parentMessageId`, `templates`, `alignment`, `hideDeletedMessages`, `disableReceipts`, `disableReactions`, `enableSwipeToReply`, `textFormatters`, `messageListBloc` - **View slots:** `headerView`, `footerView`, `emptyStateView`, `errorStateView`, `loadingStateView`, `emptyChatGreetingView` - **Style:** `CometChatMessageListStyle` - **Request builder:** `MessagesRequestBuilder` ### CometChatMessageComposer Text input with attachments, voice recording, rich text toolbar, mentions, and AI features. - **Location:** `chat_ui/src/message_composer/widgets/cometchat_message_composer.dart` - **Key props:** `user`, `group`, `parentMessageId`, `placeholderText`, `disableTypingEvents`, `text`, `onChange`, `onSendButtonTap`, `textFormatters`, `disableMentions`, `hideVoiceRecordingButton`, `enableRichTextFormatting`, `richTextToolbarView` (there is NO `richTextConfiguration` prop) - **View slots:** `auxiliaryButtonView`, `secondaryButtonView`, `sendButtonView`, `headerView`, `footerView`, `richTextToolbarView` - **Style:** `CometChatMessageComposerStyle` - **Note:** On `^6.0.1`, the hosting Scaffold should use `resizeToAvoidBottomInset: true` (or omit it — `true` is the default). The composer clamps the keyboard height to `viewInsets` (kit fix ENG-34434), so `true` does not double-compensate. `false` was only the pre-6.0.1 workaround; if you see a double keyboard gap, upgrade the kit. ### CometChatMessageHeader Displays user/group info as an AppBar with online status, typing indicator, and call buttons. - **Location:** `chat_ui/src/message_header/cometchat_message_header.dart` - **Key props:** `user`, `group`, `onBack`, `showBackButton`, `hideVideoCallButton`, `hideVoiceCallButton`, `usersStatusVisibility`, `hideChatHistoryButton`, `hideNewChatButton` - **View slots:** `subtitleView(Group?, User?, ctx)`, `listItemView(Group?, User?, ctx)`, `trailingView(User?, Group?, ctx)`, `leadingStateView(Group?, User?, ctx)`, `titleView`, `auxiliaryButtonView` - **Style:** `CometChatMessageHeaderStyle` - **Implements:** `PreferredSizeWidget` (use as `appBar:` in Scaffold) ### CometChatUsers Displays a searchable, alphabetically sorted list of users. - **Location:** `chat_ui/src/users/cometchat_users.dart` - **Key props:** `onItemTap`, `onItemLongPress`, `usersRequestBuilder`, `usersStatusVisibility`, `hideSearch`, `selectionMode`, `usersBloc` - **View slots:** `listItemView(User)`, `subtitleView(ctx, User)`, `trailingView(ctx, User)`, `leadingView(ctx, User)`, `titleView(ctx, User)`, `emptyStateView`, `errorStateView`, `loadingStateView` - **Style:** `CometChatUsersStyle` - **Request builder:** `UsersRequestBuilder` ### CometChatGroups Displays a searchable list of groups the user has joined or can join. - **Location:** `chat_ui/src/groups/cometchat_groups.dart` - **Key props:** `onItemTap`, `onItemLongPress`, `groupsRequestBuilder`, `hideSearch`, `selectionMode`, `groupTypeVisibility`, `groupsBloc` - **View slots:** `listItemView(Group)`, `subtitleView(ctx, Group)`, `trailingView(ctx, Group)`, `leadingView(ctx, Group)`, `titleView(ctx, Group)`, `emptyStateView`, `errorStateView`, `loadingStateView` - **Style:** `CometChatGroupsStyle` - **Request builder:** `GroupsRequestBuilder` ### CometChatGroupMembers Displays members of a specific group with role badges and management options (kick, ban, scope change). - **Location:** `chat_ui/src/group_members/cometchat_group_members.dart` - **Key props:** `group` (required), `groupMembersRequestBuilder`, `hideSearch`, `selectionMode`, `usersStatusVisibility`, `hideBanMemberOption`, `hideKickMemberOption`, `hideScopeChangeOption` - **View slots:** `listItemView(GroupMember)`, `subtitleView(ctx, GroupMember)`, `trailingView(ctx, GroupMember)`, `leadingView`, `titleView`, `emptyStateView`, `errorStateView`, `loadingStateView` - **Style:** `CometChatGroupMembersStyle` - **Request builder:** `GroupMembersRequestBuilder` ### CometChatSearch Full-screen search across conversations and messages with filter chips and dual-section results. - **Location:** `chat_ui/src/search/cometchat_search.dart` - **Key props:** `onConversationClicked`, `onMessageClicked`, `searchFilters`, `searchIn`, `user`, `group`, `conversationsRequestBuilder`, `messagesRequestBuilder` - **View slots:** `conversationItemView(ctx, Conversation)`, `conversationSubtitleView(ctx, Conversation)`, `conversationLeadingView(ctx, Conversation)`, `conversationTailView(ctx, Conversation)`, `searchTextMessageView(ctx, TextMessage)`, `searchImageMessageView(ctx, MediaMessage)`, `emptyStateView`, `errorStateView`, `loadingStateView`, `initialStateView` - **Style:** `CometChatSearchStyle` ### CometChatNotificationFeed Full-screen in-app notification feed — a scrollable list of campaign/promotional notifications rendered as cards, with category filter chips, timestamp grouping, real-time updates, and engagement reporting. Distinct from push notifications: this is the in-app feed UI, not the OS-level push delivery. - **Location:** `chat_ui/src/notification_feed/widgets/cometchat_notification_feed.dart` - **Key props:** `title`, `showHeader`, `showBackButton`, `showFilterChips`, `headerView`, `scrollToItemId`, `notificationFeedRequestBuilder`, `notificationCategoriesRequestBuilder`, `onItemClick(NotificationFeedItem)`, `onActionClick(NotificationFeedItem, CometChatCardActionEvent)`, `onError(String)`, `onBackPress`, `cardThemeMode`, `cardThemeOverride` - **View slots:** `emptyStateView`, `errorStateView`, `loadingStateView` - **Style:** `CometChatNotificationFeedStyle` - **Request builder:** `NotificationFeedRequestBuilder` (pass without `.build()`; component builds internally) ### CometChatThreadedHeader Displays a parent message with reply count in a threaded conversation view.

AI Views As of `6.0.1`, the following AI widgets are exported via the chat barrel (`shared_ui/cometchat_uikit_shared.dart`): - `CometChatAIAssistantChatHistory` — chat_ui/src/ai_assistant_chat_history/widgets/cometchat_ai_assistant_chat_history.dart - `CometChatAIConversationSummaryView` — shared_ui/src/views/ai_conversation_summary/cometchat_ai_conversation_summary_view.dart - `CometChatAIAssistantBubble` — shared_ui/src/.../cometchat_ai_assistant_bubble.dart - `CometChatAISmartRepliesView` — shared_ui/src/.../cometchat_ai_smart_replies_view.dart - `CometChatAIConversationStarterView` — shared_ui/src/.../cometchat_ai_conversation_starter_view.dart Note the `View` suffix on the summary, smart-replies, and conversation-starter classes — `CometChatAIConversationSummary`, `CometChatAISmartReplies`, and `CometChatAIConversationStarter` (without suffix) do NOT exist. For AI behavior more broadly, the kit surfaces AI replies / summaries / starters inside the existing message list and composer when the matching dashboard extensions are enabled. Drive AI through extensions for the most stable path. --- ## Quick Reference: Import ```dart import 'package:cometchat_chat_uikit/cometchat_chat_uikit.dart'; // All chat widgets import 'package:cometchat_chat_uikit/cometchat_calls_uikit.dart'; // Call widgets ``` ## Quick Reference: Architecture All components follow Clean Architecture + BLoC: ``` {component}/ ├── bloc/ # BLoC, Events, State (Equatable) ├── domain/ # Use Cases, Repository interfaces ├── data/ # Repository impl, DataSources ├── di/ # ServiceLocator (singleton) └── widgets/ # UI components ``` ## Quick Reference: Theme Always use `CometChatThemeHelper` — never hardcode colors: ```dart final colorPalette = CometChatThemeHelper.getColorPalette(context); final typography = CometChatThemeHelper.getTypography(context); final spacing = CometChatThemeHelper.getSpacing(context); ```
