ChatChannelView doesn't scroll to selected message

[ajay-simform]

What did you do?

• Create ChatMessageSearchController
• search old/previous message from the channel
• go to ChatChannelView by giving selected message to scrollToMessage

What did you expect to happen?

• The messageList should scroll to particular message. No matter if it needs pagination or something.

What happened instead?

• The message doesn't scroll to the selected message index

Hello @ajay-simform,

At the moment, the scrolling to a particular message only works if the message is already loaded in the chat channel view.

The case where the message is not loaded (and requires additional loading of messages and bi-directional scrolling), is something that we already plan to implement soon.

This needs to be implement in our low-level client first, so keep an eye for updates in this repo: https://github.com/GetStream/stream-chat-swift.

As soon as it's implemented there, we will enable it in SwiftUI.

Best,
Martin

Hey @martinmitrevski -- any updates here? Would it be possible to link to the specific issue where this is being tracked in the stream-chat-swift repo?

Hey @davitykale,

The team is currently working on this. It's a bigger effort, that we expect to be finished this quarter (if all goes well).

We have this task internally in our ticketing system, and there's a discussion related here: GetStream/stream-chat-swift#1764.

As soon as we have info, we will update this ticket too.

Hi @martinmitrevski ,

Could you please provide me with an update on the current status of this issue?
Thank you.

Hi @ajay-simform,

This is only available in the UIKit SDK for now. At the moment we have other higher priorities, so for SwiftUI it will come most likely in Q3.

Best, Martin

Hi,

This one is now available in our main branch and it will come in the next release, most likely later this week.
