CommonModule

• UseCase: Objects that can be conceptually bundled and used in SendbirdSDK.
  • For example, when implementing the chat room message list, the functions to initialize the list, get the previous message, and get the next message are mostly used together.
  • So, even if it is not divided into screen units, things that can be grouped with a similar concept are grouped with UseCase.
  • If necessary, change the Access Control of BaseModule to open and use it.
• View
  • Small Views that can be easily modularized
  • It is recommended to collect all Views that are used for both Group Channel and Open Channel here.
• CommonModule is used as an embedded framework in each Sample App.

🛠 For contributors

Below is an additional explanation for contributors.

📲 How to add new Feature Sample App with tuist

1. Copy Apps/BasicGroupChannel or Apps/BasicOpenChannel
2. Paste under Apps folder.
3. Rename folder name BasicGroupChannel to {FeatureSampleName}
4. Rename parameter "BasicGroupChannel" to "{FeatureSampleName}" in Apps/{FeatureSampleName}/Project.swift

let project = Project.app(name: {FeatureSampleName})

5. Re-generate Xcode project & workspace

tuist generate

Considerations in real world app

• In this sample repo users are connecting to sendbird using a user ID (Sendbird Dashboard --> Security --> Read & Write). Read & Write is not secure and will create a new user automatically from the SDK if none exists. In production be sure to change the Sendbird Dashboard security settings to Deny login, and authenticate users with a Sendbird generated Session Token.
