🎯 Goal
The goal is the parity with RN Chat SDK.
🛠 Implementation details
If the value of
maxTimeBetweenGroupedMessages
is greater then the difference btw the current and next message creation date, the groupd is considered to end with the current message. Effectively, what happens is that the message is applied a classstr-chat__li--bottom
. The visual result is reflected inMessageList
(each message has timestamp and author (metadata) shown) but not inVirtualizedMessageList
which has additional logic that decides whether a group ends at a given message. This should be synced with theMessageList
but potentially introducing breaking changes to the integrators usingVirtualizedMessageList
