Flyer Chat is a platform for creating in-app chat experiences using Flutter or React Native. This repository contains Firebase BaaS implementation for Flutter. We are also working on our more advanced SaaS and self-hosted solutions.
Free, open-source and community-driven. We offer no paid plugins and strive to create an easy-to-use, almost drop-in chat experience for any application. Contributions are more than welcome! Please read our Contributing Guide.
Chat UI agnostic. You can choose the chat UI you prefer. But if you don't have one, we provide our own free and open-source Flutter Chat UI, which can be used to create a working chat in minutes.
Easy to use. Returns streams of data for messages, rooms and users. Firebase Security Rules control access to the data. Check our documentation for the info.
Getting Started
Requirements
Dart >=2.19.0 and Flutter >=3.0.0, Firebase project.
Read our documentation or see the example project. To run the example project you need to have your own Firebase project and then follow steps 1 and 2 of Add Firebase to your Flutter app, override firebase_options.dart, don't commit it though 😉
After all of this is done you will need to register a couple of users and the example app will automatically suggest email and password on the register screen, default password is Qawsed1-. To set up Firebase Security Rules so users can see only the data they should see, continue with our documentation.
