Prerequisites

The following are required to get your chat app up and running:

1. API Key - Learn about how to get your API Keys in Setting up your Robin account
2. Current user’s RUT and Name - Robin User Token is a Unique Identifier of every user in your Robin App.
3. All users to be included in your chat app.

Install the Flutter SDK

flutter pub add robin_flutter

Creating the current user

You need to create a RobinCurrentUser instance of the currently logged-in user, mostly for identification. This is specific to the Flutter SDK.

RobinCurrentUser currentUser = RobinCurrentUser(
  robinToken: 'YOUR_ROBIN_USER_TOKEN',
  fullName: 'YOUR_USERNAME',
);

Mount Robin and Start Messaging

You can mount Robin easily in your app by creating an instance of Robin.

import 'package:robin_flutter/robin_flutter.dart';

Robin(
  apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
  getUsers: [],
  currentUser: currentUser,
  keys: keys,
);
