React Native Gifted Chat

This project is a cross-platform UI library for React Native designed to build messaging interfaces. It provides a comprehensive set of specialized components, including message bubbles, input toolbars, and layout containers, to facilitate the development of chat applications on iOS and Android.

The library distinguishes itself through a highly flexible configuration interface that allows developers to override default elements and styling to meet specific branding requirements. It includes built-in support for complex interaction patterns such as swipe-to-reply gestures, quick-reply buttons, and real-time typing indicators, while automatically managing the interface layout to ensure content remains visible when the mobile software keyboard is active.

The system covers a broad range of messaging capabilities, including infinite scroll pagination for large conversation histories, localized date and time formatting, and the rendering of rich media content. It also features automated message state synchronization and content parsing, which transforms plain text patterns like URLs and mentions into interactive elements.
