Links

Swift Chat SDK lets you encode URLs that begin with www, http, or https (plain links) so that they can be rendered as links.

Send message with links

You can attach links to the message and publish it using the sendText() method.

Method signature

Head over to the SendText() method for details.

Basic usage

Include these links in a text message: https://www.linkedin.com/mkelly_vp2 and https://admin.pubnub.com/#/login.

chat?.getChannel(channelId: "support") { result in
  switch result {
  case let .success(channel):
    if let channel = channel {
      debugPrint("Fetched channel metadata with ID: \(channel.id)")
      
      // Join the channel
      channel.join(completion: { joinResult in
        switch joinResult {
        case .success:
          // Handle success on joining
          // Define the text links
          let textLinks = [
            TextLink(startIndex: 14, endIndex: 47, link: "https://www.linkedin.com/mkelly_vp2"),
            TextLink(startIndex: 53, endIndex: 84, link: "https://admin.pubnub.com/#/login")

Get text links

You can access the textLinks property of the Message object to return all text links in a given message.

Method signature

This is how you can access the property:

message.textLinks

Get all text links included in the message with the 16200000000000000 timetoken.

// Reference the "your-channel" channel
chat?.getChannel(channelId: "your-channel") { result in
  switch result {
  case let .success(channel):
    if let channel = channel {
      debugPrint("Fetched channel metadata with ID: \(channel.id)")
      // Fetch the message using the timetoken
      channel.getMessage(timetoken: 16200000000000000) { messageResult in
        switch messageResult {
        case let .success(message):
          if let message = message {
            // Access the textLinks property
            if let textLinks = message.textLinks, !textLinks.isEmpty {
              debugPrint("The message contains the following text links:")
              for textLink in textLinks {
