Installation

Just add MessageViewController to your Podfile and install. Done!

pod 'MessageViewController'

Setup

You must subclass MessageViewController.

```swiftimport MessageViewController

class ViewController: MessageViewController { // ...}```

Finish setup using a UIScrollView. Remember this can also be a UITableView or UICollectionView.

swiftfunc viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() setup(scrollView: scrollView)}

Customizations

You can customize any part of the UI that you want!

```swift// Border between the text view and the scroll viewborderColor = .lightGray

// Change the appearance of the text view and its contentmessageView.inset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 8, left: 16, bottom: 8, right: 16)messageView.textView.placeholderText = "New message..."messageView.textView.placeholderTextColor = .lightGraymessageView.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17)

// Setup the button using text or an iconmessageView.set(buttonTitle: "Send", for: .normal)messageView.addButton(target: self, action: #selector(onButton))messageView.buttonTint = .blue```

Autocomplete

The base view controller uses a MessageAutocompleteController control to handle text autocompletion.

This control uses a plain UITableView to display its autocomplete. Add a dataSource and delegate to display and handle interactions.

swiftlet tableView = messageAutocompleteController.tableViewtableView.register(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "cell")tableView.dataSource = selftableView.delegate = self

Then register for autocomplete prefixes you want to respond to and set a delegate to handle when a prefix is found.

swiftmessageAutocompleteController.register(prefix: "@")messageAutocompleteController.delegate = self

Your delegate needs to implement just one method.

swiftfunc didFind(controller: MessageAutocompleteController, prefix: String, word: String) { // filter your data controller.show(true)}

Note: You can perform asyncronous autocomplete searches. Just be sure to call messageAutocompleteController.show() when finished.
