Grouping options

Open borut-t opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

What are you trying to achieve?

We have a config groupMessages and maxTimeIntervalBetweenMessagesInGroup to group messages. However, this doesn't work when we have custom message views. I would like to have info option on the message e.g. isRootOfGroup to see when message if first in group. That would be useful to have since I need to show avatar only for the first message in the group.

If possible, how can you achieve this currently?

There is no easy solution for this. It would involve pre-fetching messages and add meta data to them.

What would be the better way?

If you add info option on the Message object to identify, if message is the first in the group.
