    var messages = [MessageType]() {
        didSet {

    }

Notes

This project is intended as an exercise for both the chat module and pod creation (dealing with podspec is harder than coding😂) but you can still use it in your projects if you want. If you want more features and a supportive community, I would suggest using MessageKit

Please do not expect continuous support.
