Alternative input options (instead of text input) for a chat game about flutter_chat_ui HOT 2 CLOSED

hey! so you supply messages array, so you have full control when to add/remove messages, with delay or not, no problems with that. Additionally (if you need), messages have metadata fields that is a simple Map, where you can store metadata like isUserReply. For the selection from predefined options, I saw people doing here both options under a message and on top of the text input bar, so it should be doable. For message people used bubbleBuilder and for text input either customBottomWidget to definite your own input from scratch, or listBottomWidget that will be at the end of the list, if that works for you. Additionally, there is inputOptions class that can accept enabled prop to control the input.

The only thing I am not sure is doable, is showing replies when you tap on an input, but having it still disabled. You can either change the logic to keep input disabled and show replies based on some outside event (so user don't need to tap on input to see them) or using customBottomWidget define your own input with this custom logic.
