CometChat Flutter UIKit v6 — Widget Catalog

Canonical reference for every public widget in cometchat_chat_uikit. Look up names, props, view slots, and style classes here before writing code.

Rule: NEVER_INVENT_NAMES

⛔ Only the widgets in THIS catalog exist — do not invent or recall names from v4/older memory. Before emitting any CometChat* widget, confirm it's listed below; if it's not here, it doesn't exist (→ "isn't a function/class" / undefined-name compile error). Do not invent names like CometChatChat, CometChatMessenger, CometChatChatList, CometChatContactList, CometChatMessageView, or CometChatUserList — they don't exist.

There is no all-in-one widget. The v4-era composites CometChatConversationsWithMessages / CometChatUsersWithMessages / CometChatGroupsWithMessages / CometChatMessages and the CometChatUI god-widget were removed in v6 and do NOT exist in cometchat_chat_uikit ^6.0 (verified against the v6 kit source — these names survive only in the CHANGELOG's removal history). Compose a two-pane experience yourself: CometChatConversations (list) → on onItemTap, push a messages screen hosting CometChatMessageHeader + CometChatMessageList + CometChatMessageComposer for the selected User/Group (each takes user: or group:, never both). See the Golden Path in cometchat-flutter-v6-core.

1. Chat Components

CometChatConversations

Displays a list of recent conversations with real-time updates (new messages, typing, presence, receipts).

• Location: chat_ui/src/conversations/cometchat_conversations.dart
• Key props: onItemTap, onItemLongPress, conversationsRequestBuilder, usersStatusVisibility, receiptsVisibility, deleteConversationOptionVisibility, textFormatters, hideAppbar, hideSearch, conversationsBloc
• View slots: listItemView(Conversation), subtitleView(ctx, Conversation), trailingView(Conversation), leadingView(ctx, Conversation), titleView(ctx, Conversation), emptyStateView, errorStateView, loadingStateView
• Style: CometChatConversationsStyle
• Request builder: ConversationsRequestBuilder

CometChatMessageList

Displays messages for a 1:1 or group conversation with real-time updates, reactions, threads, and smart replies.

• Location: chat_ui/src/message_list/widgets/cometchat_message_list.dart
• Key props: user, group, messagesRequestBuilder, parentMessageId, templates, alignment, hideDeletedMessages, disableReceipts, disableReactions, enableSwipeToReply, textFormatters, messageListBloc
• View slots: headerView, footerView, emptyStateView, errorStateView, loadingStateView, emptyChatGreetingView
• Style: CometChatMessageListStyle
• Request builder: MessagesRequestBuilder

CometChatMessageComposer

Text input with attachments, voice recording, rich text toolbar, mentions, and AI features.

• Location: chat_ui/src/message_composer/widgets/cometchat_message_composer.dart
• Key props: user, group, parentMessageId, placeholderText, disableTypingEvents, text, onChange, onSendButtonTap, textFormatters, disableMentions, hideVoiceRecordingButton, enableRichTextFormatting, richTextToolbarView (there is NO richTextConfiguration prop)
• View slots: auxiliaryButtonView, secondaryButtonView, sendButtonView, headerView, footerView, richTextToolbarView
• Style: CometChatMessageComposerStyle
• Note: On ^6.0.1, the hosting Scaffold should use resizeToAvoidBottomInset: true (or omit it — true is the default). The composer clamps the keyboard height to viewInsets (kit fix ENG-34434), so true does not double-compensate. false was only the pre-6.0.1 workaround; if you see a double keyboard gap, upgrade the kit.

CometChatMessageHeader

Displays user/group info as an AppBar with online status, typing indicator, and call buttons.

• Location: chat_ui/src/message_header/cometchat_message_header.dart
• Key props: user, group, onBack, showBackButton, hideVideoCallButton, hideVoiceCallButton, usersStatusVisibility, hideChatHistoryButton, hideNewChatButton
• View slots: subtitleView(Group?, User?, ctx), listItemView(Group?, User?, ctx), trailingView(User?, Group?, ctx), leadingStateView(Group?, User?, ctx), titleView, auxiliaryButtonView

As of 6.0.1, the following AI widgets are exported via the chat barrel (shared_ui/cometchat_uikit_shared.dart):

• CometChatAIConversationSummaryView — shared_ui/src/views/ai_conversation_summary/cometchat_ai_conversation_summary_view.dart
• CometChatAIAssistantBubble — shared_ui/src/.../cometchat_ai_assistant_bubble.dart
• CometChatAISmartRepliesView — shared_ui/src/.../cometchat_ai_smart_replies_view.dart
• CometChatAIConversationStarterView — shared_ui/src/.../cometchat_ai_conversation_starter_view.dart

Note the View suffix on the summary, smart-replies, and conversation-starter classes — CometChatAIConversationSummary, CometChatAISmartReplies, and CometChatAIConversationStarter (without suffix) do NOT exist.

For AI behavior more broadly, the kit surfaces AI replies / summaries / starters inside the existing message list and composer when the matching dashboard extensions are enabled. Drive AI through extensions for the most stable path.
