V2 Usage

[nbonamy]

Hey thanks for the great library. Using the v2 for a project and it is working great. Some minor issues I am facing but I have been able to handle:

• Building my own ChatInput so using inputBuilder. I am under the impression that for layout of the main screen to be properly calculated I have to use ChatInputHeightNotifier (in _updateInputHeight). But this is not "exported" so I need to import 'package:flutter_chat_ui/src/utils/chat_input_height_notifier.dart'; for which of course I get a warning. If I don't handle ChatInputHeightNotifier, the chat area goes behind my custom ChatInput.

• I am also using a custom ChatController as I want to have my own data model for messages. In my custom ChatController I end up having to store all the flutter_chat_ui messages in case of update because of (I believe)

  flutter_chat_ui/packages/flutter_chat_ui/lib/src/chat_message/chat_message_internal.dart

  Line 52 in be518f8

  if (_updatedMessage == event.oldMessage) {

  . Maybe just checking id equality would be enough It will allow me to only save messages with my model and recreate flutter_chat_ui messages in List<Message> get messages on the fly.

Keep up the great work!

Hello!

So for the first problem it would be enough to export ChatInputHeightNotifier? I also plan to include option to have solid background input, without blur, so this would not be needed.

For the second issue I think I can reduce equality check to IDs only, will that help?

Yes both will be great!

Does copying from the bubbles lose newline characters after your Markdown is parsed?
