Summary

• How to customize message menu items?

Guide & Snippet

The method below can be applied to any input component in a group channel, open channel, or message thread.

• If they want to customize the message menu items, it can be resolved by overriding createMessageMenuItems(for:) method in SBUGroupChannelModule.List (or SBUOpenChannelModule.List, SBUMessageThreadModule.List)

• Create CustomChannelModuleList class and override createMessageMenuItems(for:) method and implement menu items.

class CustomChannelModuleList: SBUGroupChannelModule.List {
    override func createMessageMenuItems(for message: BaseMessage) -> [SBUMenuItem] {
        var items: [SBUMenuItem] = []

        switch message {
        case is UserMessage: // UserMessage: copy
            let copy = self.createCopyMenuItem(for: message)
            items.append(copy)
        case let fileMessage as FileMessage: // FileMessage: save
            let save = self.createSaveMenuItem(for: message)
            if SBUUtils.getFileType(by: fileMessage) != .voice {
                items.append(save)
            }
        default: // UnknownMessage
            break
        }

        return items
    }
}
