Instant messaging software usually consists of several basic interfaces such as the chat window and conversation list. TUIKit provides a set of basic UI implementations to simplify IM SDK integration. It only takes a few lines of code to use the IM SDK to provide communication in your project.
To create a conversation list, you only need to create a TUIConversationListController object. The conversation list reads recent contacts from the database. When a user clicks a contact, TUIConversationListController calls back the event to the upper layer.
// Create a conversation list.
TUIConversationListController *vc = [[TUIConversationListController alloc] init];
vc.delegate = self;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vc animated:YES];
- (void)conversationListController:(TUIConversationListController *)conversationController didSelectConversation:(TUIConversationCell *)conversation
{
// Conversation list click event. Typically, the chat interface is opened.
}
When the chat interface is initializing, the UI layer needs to pass in the conversation information for the current chat interface. The sample code is as follows:
TUIConversationCellData *data = [[TUIConversationCellData alloc] init];
data.groupID = @"groupID"; // Pass in the group ID for group chats
data.userID = @"userID"; // Pass in the user ID for one-to-one chats
TUIChatController *vc = [[TUIChatController alloc] initWithConversation:data];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vc animated:YES];
TUIChatController will automatically pull and display the user's message history.
The contacts interface does not require other dependencies. You only need to create the object and display it.
TUIContactController *vc = [[TUIContactController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vc animated:YES];
