Main entry & screens
The UTDChat static facade for creating a connected chat session and building the kit's default screens (conversations list, 1:1/group chat, create-group, group-info), each pre-wrapped in a UTDChatScope.
UTDChatclassabstract final class UTDChatTop-level entry to the chat kit, declared as an abstract final class exposing only static members. UTDChat.init mints, connects and starts sync from a UTDChatConfig and returns a live UTDChatClient the host owns (and must dispose). UTDChat.scope wraps any subtree so the built-in screens can read the client/theme/strings, and the screen-builder helpers build the kit's default screens already wrapped in that scope. Has no public constructor (cannot be instantiated).
initmethodasyncstatic Future<UTDChatClient> init(UTDChatConfig config)Creates the session: constructs a UTDChatClient from the config, mints the per-user bearer and signal token, connects the signalling WebSocket and starts the local-first sync engine. The host owns the returned client and is responsible for calling UTDChatClient.dispose.
Параметры
configUTDChatConfigобязательныйThe chat kit configuration (credentials, user id, base URLs, theme, strings, push options) used to build and connect the client.
Возвращает: Future<UTDChatClient> — A connected, sync-started chat session the caller owns and must dispose.
scopemethodstatic Widget scope({required UTDChatClient client, required Widget child})Wraps child in a UTDChatScope so the default widgets can resolve the session, theme and strings from BuildContext. The theme and strings are taken from client.config. Used internally by all the screen-builder helpers and exposed for custom screens that need access to the scope.
Параметры
clientUTDChatClientобязательныйThe live chat session to expose to descendants via the inherited scope.
childWidgetобязательныйThe subtree that will be able to read the client, theme and strings from context.
Возвращает: Widget — A UTDChatScope wrapping child with the client and its configured theme/strings.

Routes pushed from the kit (e.g. the chat thread) re-wrap their subtree in a fresh UTDChatScope captured from the originating context so new routes can still read the session. Produced by UTDChat.scope and the screen-builder helpers; descendants read it with UTDChatScope.of / maybeOf.

Возвращает: bool — True if client, theme or strings differs from oldWidget.
Session & client
The UTDChatClient session facade owns the REST client, signalling WebSocket, local Drift store and sync engine, exposing connect/dispose lifecycle, store/conversation/message access, connection state and push deep-link routing.
UTDChatClientclassUTDChatClient({required UTDChatConfig config, ChatDatabase? database})The chat kit's session facade. Owns the REST client, the signalling WebSocket, the local Drift store and the sync engine, wiring them together: mint the per-user bearer, mint signal credentials, connect the WebSocket and start the sync engine. Controllers and UI read everything through database/sync/outbox and never touch the transport directly.
Параметры
configUTDChatConfigобязательныйThe kit configuration: app credentials, the caller's identity/name, optional base URLs, device id, push and theme/strings. Drives authentication and which engine the client talks to.
databaseChatDatabase?По умолчанию = ChatDatabase()Optional local Drift store override; defaults to a fresh ChatDatabase instance. Useful for tests or sharing a store.

Возвращает: ChatDatabase — The local-first store backing all reads.
syncgetterSyncEngine get syncThe sync coordinator that handles history pull (REST), live pushes (signalling WebSocket) and reconnect, draining everything into the local store.
Возвращает: SyncEngine — The sync engine instance.
outboxgetterOutbox get outboxThe optimistic-send pipeline that queues and sends outgoing messages, surviving offline resends.
Возвращает: Outbox — The optimistic outbox instance.

apigetterUTDApi get apiThe high-level engine REST API wrapper used for session minting and privileged calls.
Возвращает: UTDApi — The REST API facade.
notificationRoutergetterUTDNotificationRouter get notificationRouterThe push deep-link router (process-wide singleton). Register a navigation handler via its setHandler so a notification tap opens the chat screen; deep-links are queued until the client is connected.
Возвращает: UTDNotificationRouter — The shared notification router instance.
connectmethodasyncFuture<void> connect()Connect the signalling WebSocket (which mints + applies the per-user bearer) and start the sync engine. Idempotent. Marks the notification router ready so queued push deep-links flow, then best-effort registers this device's push token when config.push.enabled. Throws on a hard auth/connect failure.
Возвращает: Future<void> — Completes once connected and sync has started.
disposemethodasyncFuture<void> dispose()Tear down the session: mark the notification router not-ready, stop push, dispose the sync engine, disconnect the signalling socket, close the REST client and close the local database.
Возвращает: Future<void> — Completes once all resources are released.
UTDNotificationRouterclassUTDNotificationRouter.instanceRoutes push deep-links to the host's navigation, guarded behind chat-client readiness. A process-wide singleton accessed via UTDNotificationRouter.instance. A deep-link is delivered only once BOTH a handler is set AND the router is ready; otherwise the latest deep-link is queued (most-recent wins). Use no public constructor; obtain via instance.

isReadygetterbool get isReadyWhether the chat client is connected/authenticated and able to open a conversation.
Возвращает: bool — True when ready to navigate to a conversation.
setHandlermethodvoid setHandler(UTDChatDeepLinkHandler? handler)Register the host's navigation callback that opens the chat screen for a deep-link. Flushes any pending deep-link if the router is already ready. Pass null to clear.
Параметры

markReadymethodvoid markReady()Mark the chat client ready (connected) and flush any queued deep-link. Called internally by UTDChatClient.connect.
markNotReadymethodvoid markNotReady()Mark the chat client not ready (e.g. on dispose/logout); subsequent deep-links queue until the next markReady. Called internally by UTDChatClient.dispose.
dispatchmethodvoid dispatch(UTDChatDeepLink link)Route a deep-link: deliver it immediately if ready and a handler is set, otherwise queue it (overwriting any previously queued link).
Параметры
linkUTDChatDeepLinkобязательныйThe deep-link target to route.

utdChatFirebaseBackgroundHandlermethodasyncFuture<void> utdChatFirebaseBackgroundHandler(RemoteMessage message)Top-level FCM background message handler that MUST be registered by the host before runApp (annotated @pragma('vm:entry-point')). FCM invokes it in a separate isolate when a data message arrives while the app is backgrounded/terminated. It parses a chat deep-link from the message data (returning early if it isn't a chat-message payload), initializes Firebase + flutter_local_notifications in the isolate, and renders a local notification (title = sender name or 'New message', body = the payload 'preview') so the user can tap it; the tap is later routed via FirebaseMessaging.onMessageOpenedApp / getInitialMessage.

startmethodasyncFuture<void> start()Initializes FCM and wires the receive surfaces: inits local notifications + the Android channel, optionally requests notification permission (iOS / Android 13+), resolves and registers the FCM token (resolving the APNs token first on iOS), then subscribes to token refresh and the three receive surfaces (foreground, opened-from-background, cold start). Idempotent and a no-op when push is disabled; never throws.
Возвращает: Future<void> — Completes once initialization and registration have been attempted.
stopmethodasyncFuture<void> stop()Tears down the bridge on dispose/logout: cancels the token-refresh and message listeners and unregisters the push token with the engine so a signed-out device stops receiving pushes. Never throws.

Values: ios ('ios'), android ('android'), web ('web'). Each value carries a `wire` String (the exact value the engine expects in the platform field). Re-exported from utd_signaling.
registerPushTokenmethodasyncFuture<bool> registerPushToken({required UTDPushPlatform platform, String? fcmToken, String? voipToken, String? deviceId})Registers this device's push token with the engine (POST /api/v1/devices/push-token, Bearer). The engine binds the token to the bearer's identity, so a session must already be minted. Pass fcmToken (Android/web/data) and/or voipToken (iOS VoIP) as available. Returns true when the engine confirms ({registered:true}). Defined on UTDApi (from utd_signaling) and used by PushBridge.
Параметры

fcmTokenString?FCM token for Android/web/data messages.
voipTokenString?iOS VoIP push token.
deviceIdString?Device id key; defaults to the persisted UTDDeviceId.
Возвращает: Future<bool> — True when the engine confirms registration.
unregisterPushTokenmethodasyncFuture<bool> unregisterPushToken({String? deviceId})Unregisters this device's push token (DELETE /api/v1/devices/push-token, Bearer), called on logout/dispose so a signed-out device stops receiving pushes for this identity. Returns true when the engine confirms ({removed:true}). Defined on UTDApi (from utd_signaling) and used by PushBridge.stop().
Параметры
deviceIdString?Device id key; defaults to the persisted UTDDeviceId.
Возвращает: Future<bool> — True when the engine confirms removal.
