Add Custom MenuItem For cell

[expertalex]

General Information

We want to add a custom menu actions for cells:

In JSQMessages we have:

    /**
     *  Register custom menu actions for cells.
     */
    [JSQMessagesCollectionViewCell registerMenuAction:@selector(customAction:)];

What happened?

In Message Kit found the following methods:

 override func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, shouldShowMenuForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool {
        return true
    }
    
    override func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, canPerformAction action: Selector, forItemAt indexPath: IndexPath, withSender sender: Any?) -> Bool {
        
        print("action:\(action.description)")
        
        if(action ==  NSSelectorFromString("customAction:")){
            return true;
        }
        if(action == NSSelectorFromString("editCollection")){
            return true;
        }
        if(action == NSSelectorFromString("deleteCollection")){
            return true;
        }
        return true;
        
    }
    
    override func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, performAction action: Selector, forItemAt indexPath: IndexPath, withSender sender: Any?) {
        
        print("action:\(action.description)")
        
    }

I added the UIMenuItem in the UIMenuController in view did load without any results.

What did you expect to happen?

The new action stood appear in UIMenuController action list for each cell

@Michael-Snow No progress, this project is community driven 😢 I'd be open to a PR if this is something you want to work on?

@expertalex Let try this code:
messagesCollectionView.delegate = self
I hope it helps.
