React-native-gifted-chat: Show user name on top of the first message from the user

Hi, is there a way to show user name of the sender of a message on top of the first message from this user.

Something like that:

[benjaminb10]

I manage to do it. Add renderBubble attribute to GiftedChat:

  render() {
    return (
        <GiftedChat
          messages={messagesList}
          onSend={this.onSend}
          renderBubble={this.renderBubble}
        />
    );
  }

Edit a renderBubble function and use utils function like isSameUser and isSameDay

  renderBubble(props) {
    if (props.isSameUser(props.currentMessage, props.previousMessage) && props.isSameDay(props.currentMessage, props.previousMessage)) {
      return (
        <Bubble
          {...props}
        />
      );
    }
    return (
      <View>
        <Text style={styles.name}>{props.currentMessage.user.name}</Text>
        <Bubble
          {...props}
        />
      </View>
    );
  }

the result give something like that:
