Stream Chat는 실시간 메시징 애플리케이션을 쉽게 구축할 수 있도록 해주는 Stream Chat의 공식 Dart 클라이언트입니다. 메시지, 채널, 사용자 존재 감지 및 입력 표시기와 같은 채팅 기능에 대해 강력하고 확장 가능한 기반을 제공하며, 여러 플랫폼에서 작동합니다. 이 패키지는 Stream의 백엔드 서비스와 원활하게 통합되어 일관된 성능과 신뢰성을 제공합니다. Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, Linux를 지원하여 크로스플랫폼 일관성을 보장합니다. 개발자는 깔끔하고 잘 문서화된 API 및 WebSocket 연결을 통한 실시간 업데이트를 활용할 수 있습니다.
Version 10 is a major update to the Stream Chat Flutter SDK:
Modern redesign — refreshed channel list, message list, composer, reactions, avatars, and media viewer with a cleaner, more polished default look.
Unified design system — design tokens (colors, typography, spacing, icons) are now consistent across all Stream SDK platforms. Theming is rebuilt around StreamTheme, a Flutter ThemeExtension registered on MaterialApp.theme.
Cross-platform name alignment — APIs and component names now match their iOS, Android, React, and React Native counterparts (e.g. StreamMessageComposer, StreamChannelListItem).
StreamComponentFactory — a single customization entry point that replaces the scattered builder slots that previously lived on each widget.
Cookbook — new task-oriented recipes for common customizations.
See the V10 Migration Guide for a full list of breaking changes and upgrade instructions.

Sample App
Check out the sample_app in this repository — a fully functional messenger built with stream_chat_flutter that demonstrates the SDK's core features end to end. It is the recommended reference when wiring things up in your own app.
Stream is free for most side and hobby projects. To qualify, your project/company needs to have fewer than five team members and under $10,000 in monthly revenue.

Packages
Stream Chat Dart is a monorepo built using Melos. Individual packages can be found in the packages directory; configuration and top-level commands live in melos.yaml.
The SDK is layered — each package builds on top of the previous:
The full UI SDK. Includes a set of reusable and customizable UI widgets on top of the core and low-level client packages. This is the recommended starting point for most apps.
We recommend using stream_chat_flutter for most apps. Unless your UI is completely different from the common industry standard, you should be able to customize the built-in widgets to match your needs.
Use stream_chat_flutter_core if you need full UI control but want the data/state logic handled for you.
Use stream_chat directly for maximum control over architecture, UI, and data.
You can also mix and match — it is common to use the UI SDK for most screens and drop down to the low-level client for specific operations.
Getting Started
To get started, run bootstrap after cloning the project:
melos bootstrap
The best place to start is the Flutter Chat Tutorial.
It teaches you how to use this SDK and shows how to make frequently required changes.
Every package folder also includes a fully functional example with setup instructions.
Bug fixes and behavior improvements cause a patch version bump.
New features are shipped with an increased minor version.
Incompatible API changes cause a major version increase.
Occasionally, the SDK can include visual changes (whitespace, color, sizing) in minor versions as we continuously improve the default look of our UI widgets.
We've recently closed a $38 million Series B funding round and we keep actively growing.
Our APIs are used by more than a billion end-users, and you'll have a chance to make a huge impact on the product within a team of the strongest engineers all over the world.
