Flutter - ListView.builder: Initial scroll position

I want to setup the initial scroll position of a ListView.builder, I want the list to start at the bottom 0.0

If I setup reverse on the listView of course I get the initial scroll position to be the desired one, but what I need is to have the last children on the bottom, is a chat app.

This is the list builder, MessageItem() is the chat message

ListView.builder(
                    shrinkWrap: true,
                    controller: _scrollController,
                    itemCount: snapshot.data.documents.length,
                    padding: EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
                    itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) =>
                        MessageItem(
                            index: index,
                            document: snapshot.data.documents[index],
                            myId: myId));

This is the animation I have when someone send the message

_scrollController.animateTo(
                _scrollController.position.maxScrollExtent,
                duration: const Duration(milliseconds: 500),
                curve: Curves.easeOut);

the animation works okay.

What I want is the list scroll position to be already at the bottom when the user enters the chat room.

for avoid error where scroll isnt attached for any list, use, WidgetsBinding to pullout after build is ready.

void _scrollToBottom() {
    if (_scrollController.hasClients) {
      _scrollController.animateTo(_scrollController.position.maxScrollExtent,
          duration: Duration(milliseconds: 300), curve: Curves.elasticOut);
    } else {
      Timer(Duration(milliseconds: 400), () => _scrollToBottom());
    }
 }

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {

  WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((_) => _scrollToBottom());

  {...} //rest of code;
}
