Messagekit: How to change the avatar's position according to Sender's attributes?

[k2tt]

Hello.
I've updated this library to 1.0.0.
So I have a problem.

How to change the avatar's position according to Sender's attributes?
For example, when v0.13.5, I was doing as follows.

extension MessagesLayoutDelegate {

    func avatarPosition(for message: MessageType, at indexPath: IndexPath, in messagesCollectionView: MessagesCollectionView) -> AvatarPosition {
        switch message.sender.displayName {
        case "Steven", "Tim Cook":
            return AvatarPosition(horizontal: .cellTrailing, vertical: .messageBottom)
        default:
            return AvatarPosition(horizontal: .cellLeading, vertical: .messageBottom)
        }
    }

}

Please give me advice.

General Information

MessageKit Version: 1.0.0

例えばv0.13.5の時、私は下記の様にしていました。

アドバイスをお願いいたします。

Hey @k2tt,

In MessageKit 1.0 we made some changes as to how you do this. You would need to set the incomingAvatarPosition and outgoingAvatarPosition properties of the MessageSizeCalculator object.

You can check the FAQs section for an example of how to change the avatar size for different cells based on whether they're incoming or outgoing. The same strategy applies to AvatarPosition.

Thank you for your quick reply!

I checked the Release Information and FAQ Section before asking questions and tried to solve the problem in a similar way.
However, it has not been done put out incoming messages left and right depending on Sender 's attributes (eg name or id).

I will think more about this solution on my own.
Thank you.

Hello!
I have not solved it yet.
Could anyone help me find a solution?

[SD10]

Currently, the Sender's id is what is used to determine whether a MessageType is incoming or outgoing

@SD10
I solved the problem with the following code.
Thank you for your kindness!

extension MessagesDataSource {
    func isFromCurrentSender(message: MessageType) -> Bool {
        switch message.sender.id {
        case "xxxxx", "yyyyy":
            return true
        default:
            return false
        }
    }
}

@kpsdeveloper what version of MessageKit are you using? Make sure you are up to date and double check the logic in your layout delegate methods.

@nathantannar4 Thank you!
I'm using MessageKit 0.13.5 Swift 4 Xcode 9.
It was occur after I refreshed the view self.messagesCollectionView.reloadDataAndKeepOffset() for purpose of loading older messages

[nathantannar4]

This is probably related to a caching issue that we removed in v1.0 @SD10 is my assumption correct? Else there is some improper logic in your code

SD10, you made the comment above... I havjimplemented message kit, but my outgoing messages appear on the left and the incoming on the right, that does not seem right.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a setting too changes this behavior?

Any help is appreciated!!!!
