Data Detectors styling about messagekit HOT 6 CLOSED

@agordeev There's no way to do this from the MessagesViewController. I'm looking to add a delegate method to make this possible. It's blocked by #356

from messagekit.

@MacMeDan You can customize this using the addressAttributes: [String: Any] property of MessageLabel. The thing is -- you can only change attributes that don't change the size of the layout, eg) underline, color, underline color. If you do, the layout won't render correctly.

This is likely to remain a limitation for awhile because fixing it requires the collectionView to know what attributes you're using in advance and also to parse the text for the detectors.

I would suggest that we make a method that limits it to just those options underline, color, underline color. This way we do not have people breaking the layout when they style Data Detectors.

@MacMeDan I kind of think that too, I even added it at first but removed it because there were 20+ properties. The thing is it doesn't offer any real protection. For example: If you set a different font for the message label than the one set in the layout object -- you will break the layout. We can't make these properties of UILabel private. This just has to be something that is made aware to people as a rule for using the project.

Closing this because we have this functionality in v0.6.0

from messagekit.

@SD10 How do I access addressAttributes from a subclass of MessagesViewController?
