Overview

​

I want to integrate with my app

1. Get your application keys
2. Add the CometChat dependency
3. Initialise CometChat
4. Register and Login your user

​

I want to explore a sample app

​

Get your Application Keys

1. Create a new app
2. Head over to the API Keys section and note the Auth Key, App ID & Region

​

Add the CometChat Dependency

1. Add the following code in your pubspec.yaml file and run pub get command.

cometchat_sdk: ^4.0.19

2. For iOS change iOS deployment target to 11 or higher.
3. Add the following code to podfile inside iOS section of your app.

post_install do |installer|

installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|

flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)

//Copy from here------->

target.build_configurations.each do |build_configuration|

build_configuration.build_settings['EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]'] = 'arm64 i386'

end

//Copy TILL here------->

end

end

4. For iOS navigate to your iOS folder in terminal or CMD and do pod install . For apple chip system use rosetta terminal.
5. import CometChat SDK using the following code in dart.

import 'package:cometchat_sdk/cometchat_sdk.dart';

​

Initialise CometChat

1. appID - You CometChat App ID
2. appSettings - An object of the AppSettings class can be created using the AppSettingsBuilder class. The region field is mandatory and can be set using the setRegion() method.

• Region: The region where your app was created.
• User Presence Presence Subscription: Represents the subscription type for user presence (real-time online/offline status)
• autoEstablishSocketConnection(boolean value): This property takes a boolean value which when set to true informs the SDK to manage the web-socket connection internally. If set to false, it informs the SDK that the web-socket connection will be managed manually. The default value for this parameter is true. For more information on this, please check the Connection Behaviour section. The default value for this property is true.
• adminHost(adminHost: string): This method takes the admin URL as input and uses this admin URL instead of the default admin URL. This can be used in case of dedicated deployment of CometChat.
• clientHost(clientHost: string): This method takes the client URL as input and uses this client URL instead of the default client URL. This can be used in case of dedicated deployment of CometChat.

String region = "REGION";
String appId = "APP_ID";

AppSettings appSettings= (AppSettingsBuilder()
      ..subscriptionType = CometChatSubscriptionType.allUsers
      ..region= region
				..adminHost = "" //optional
				..clientHost = "" //optional
      ..autoEstablishSocketConnection =  true
).build();

CometChat.init(appId, appSettings,
	onSuccess: (String successMessage) {
		debugPrint("Initialization completed successfully  $successMessage");
	}, onError: (CometChatException excep) {
		debugPrint("Initialization failed with exception: ${excep.message}");
	}
);

​

Register and Login your User

String authKey = "AUTH_KEY";//Replace with the auth key of app
User user = User( uid: "usr1", name: "Kevin" );//Replace with name and uid of user

CometChat.createUser(user,  authKey,
	onSuccess: (User user){
		debugPrint("Create User succesful ${user}");
	}, onError: (CometChatException e){
		debugPrint("Create User Failed with exception ${e.message}");
	}
);

String UID = "user_id"; // Replace with the UID of the user to login
String authKey = "AUTH_KEY"; // Replace with your App Auth Key

final user = await CometChat.getLoggedInUser();
if (user == null) {
await CometChat.login(UID, authKey,
		onSuccess: (User user) {
			debugPrint("Login Successful : $user" );
		}, onError: (CometChatException e) {
			debugPrint("Login failed with exception:  ${e.message}");
		}
	);
}
