Reply to messages
Members of a group or supergroup channel can reply to each others' messages in a thread using the MessageThreadView
structure. When a user taps Reply in thread in the Message menu of a user or file message in the GroupChannelView
class, the thread view appears. In the new thread, users can start a separate conversation in response to the parent message.
Initialize
You can start building a thread view by initializing the MessageThreadView
structure.

Customization
Sendbird Chat SwiftUI provides a View customization
and DestinationViewBuilder
.
- View customization: Our SwiftUI SDK allows you to selectively customize view elements. To learn more about the customization and our SwiftUI is designed, see the customization guide.
- DestinationViewBuilder: Use DestinationViewBuilder to customize the destination views that are navigatable from the group channel view.
Note : Visit our Github Sample to see the custom sample implementation for each item.
Partial customization
You can easily customize a specific part of a View
, which particularly comes in handy when changing only a certain area in the View
.
To do so, use the View Builders that Sendbird has predefined and its a ViewConfig
. The ViewConfig
contains the data needed to render the view and its parameters can be found in the table below.
Parameter
Parameter | Type | View items |
---|---|---|
headerItem | () -> MessageThreadType.HeaderItem | leftView |
parentInfoItem | () -> MessageThreadType.ParentInfoItem | parentInfoView |
listItem | () -> MessageThreadType.ListItem | rowView |
inputItem | () -> MessageThreadType.InputItem | leftView |
The following code demonstrates how to replace the view items using headerItem
. All other {Component}Item
s can be used in the same way.
Note : When you customize a parent view, customizations in the child views will not be applied. For example, if you customize the
titleView
in theheaderItem
, the customizations of thecoverImage
ortitleLabel
in the lower view items will not be applied.
DestinationViewBuilder
This screen has no DestinationViewBuilder because there's no navigational elements, such as buttons or links to other screens.
