👉 Example App on GitHub

1. Initialize Firebase

Make sure you’ve initialized Firebase in your app:

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  await Firebase.initializeApp();
  runApp(MyApp());
}

2. Use the Singleton Instance

final fireChat = FyreChat.instance;

🛠️ Usage Examples

🔐 Listen to Current User

fireChat.firebaseUser.listen((user) {
  print('Current user: ${user?.uid}');
});

🧑‍ Create User in Firestore

await fireChat.createUserInFirestore(
  uid: 'user_123',
  name: 'John',
  imageUrl: 'https://example.com/avatar.png',
);

💬 Send a Text Message

await fireChat.sendMessage(
  roomId: 'room_abc',
  author: yourUser,
  text: 'Hello there!',
);

💬 Send a Message with Reply

await fireChat.sendMessageReply(
  roomId: 'room_abc',
  author: yourUser,
  text: 'This is a reply!',
  repliedMessage: originalMessage,
);

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Create a Direct Chat Room

final room = await fireChat.createRoom(
  user1Id: 'user_a',
  user2Id: 'user_b',
);

👥 Create a Group Room

final room = await fireChat.createGroupRoom(
  userIds: ['user1', 'user2', 'user3'],
  currentUser: yourUser,
  groupName: 'Study Group',
  groupImage: 'https://example.com/group.png',
);

🔄 Listen to Messages in a Room

fireChat.messages('room_abc').listen((messages) {
  for (var msg in messages) {
    print('${msg.author.id}: ${msg.text}');
  }
});

👁 Mark Messages as Seen

This is automatic when streaming messages, but you can implement manual seen marking if needed:

await fireChat.markMessagesAsSeen(
  roomId: 'room_abc',
  userId: 'your_user_id',
);

│       ├── userIds: [uid1, uid2]
│       ├── type: 'group' or 'direct'
│       └── ...
│
├── messages/{roomId} (Subcollection)
│   └── {messageId}
│       ├── author: {id, name, imageUrl}
│       ├── text / imageUrl / fileUrl
│       ├── seenBy: { uid1: timestamp, uid2: timestamp }
│       └── metadata (including reply info)
