Swift Chat: iMessage, rebuilt as a SwiftUI view
A SwiftUI package that recreates the small, fussy behaviors of an iMessage-style chat interface.
Field notes
The package accepts either an inline conversation or an Identifiable message collection, then layers interaction through SwiftUI modifiers such as chatTypingIndicators, chatInputCapabilities, and onChatSend. Its documented implementation wraps UICollectionView to support behaviors including keyboard dragging, per-cell spring motion, grouped bubble tails, and scroll-to-bottom handling. The site lists iOS 18 and later, provides Swift Package Manager instructions, and links to a README, symbol docs, license, and llms.txt files.
