I'm trying to load messages with JSQMessagesViewController. But mediaMessages are added to the array last, although they should not be. Images should be between text messages, but they appear last. I think I need to add an empty bubble for images or something like that.
JSQMessage with media This mediaMessage must be between 2 and 3 message
My code:
let query = Database.database().reference().child("chats").child(chatId!).queryLimited(toLast: 10)
_ = query.observe(.childAdded, with: { (snapshot) in
if let data = snapshot.value as? [String: AnyObject],
let id = data["userId"],
let name = self.chatName,
let text = data["content"]
{
if let image = data["image"] {
let storageKey = "images/" + self.chatId! + "/" + (image as! String)
let storageRef = Storage.storage().reference(withPath: storageKey)
storageRef.getData(maxSize: 1 * 1000 * 1000, completion: { (imageData, err) in
if err != nil {
print("Error with storage")
return
}
let imageMessage = UIImage(data: imageData!)
let mediaItem = JSQPhotoMediaItem(image: imageMessage)
if let message = JSQMessage(senderId: id as! String, displayName: name, media: mediaItem) {
self.messages.append(message)
self.finishReceivingMessage()
}
})
} else {
if let message = JSQMessage(senderId: id as! String, displayName: name, text: text as! String)
{
self.messages.append(message)
self.finishReceivingMessage()
}
}
}
})
I changed the logic of loading messages. https://www.raywenderlich.com/140836/firebase-tutorial-real-time-chat-2
