Installation

MessageInputManager is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod 'MessageInputManager'

Usage

Use it as input accessory view to UIView which handles chat details or where user input is required

To make UIView first responder, Subclass UIView and return true from canBecomeFirstResponder.

Then Return MIMessageInputView as input accessory view.

class ConversationDetailView: UIView {

	// MARK: - Variables
	let messageInputView:MIMessageInputView = MIMessageInputView()
	
	// MARK: - Life cycle methods
	
	override var canBecomeFirstResponder: Bool{
		return true
	}
	override var inputAccessoryView: UIView?{
		return messageInputView
	}

}

UIViewController can also become first responder and MIMessageInputView can be returned as accessory view.

Set delegate to MIMessageInputView where you want to receive call when user press send with all the details.
