React-native-gifted-chat: Username on top of message bubble?

[rickling]

Hey there,

I think older versions of the Gifted Chat had a way to have usernames show up on top of message bubbles (See below React-Bot) Is this still available in the new Gifted Chat? If not, I'm guessing the best way to go about implementing is just overriding renderMessage.

Thanks, appreciate the help.

Forked and edited Message rendering. Thanks!

@rickling I don't think a fork is needed, you could simply set renderMessage prop and render what you need

@kfiroo Is there a way of showing the name only on top of the first bubble of a sequence of bubbles from the same sender?

@kfiroo i support the showing of name inside bubble not above the bubbles
