CometChat Flutter UIKit Shared Package

CometChat UIKit Shared serves as a foundation for two robust UI Kits - CometChat Chat UIKit and CometChat Calls UIKit. The modular design of the resources and widgets provided by this package ensures efficient code reuse and consistent styling across your app.
This carefully crafted library, built with Dart and Flutter, empowers you with:

Pre-built UI Components:

• The message bubbles displayed in CometChatMessageList from Chat UI Kit.
• CometChatListBase and CometChatListItem which is used to construct the list of users, groups and conversations in the Chat UI Kit.
• Status indicator to indicate if an user is online or offline.
• the card and button widgets which are used to construct the incoming and outgoing call screens provided by the Calls UI Kit and much more.

Extensive Utility Resources:

• Beyond UI components, cometchat_uikit_shared offers a plethora of utility resources. From streamlined setup processes to intricate behind-the-scenes functionalities, it ensures a robust foundation for your application.
• Set up the CometChat SDK seamlessly with built-in functionalities for sending and receiving messages.
