Nothing, but that hardly achieves the same thing. For example, if you're building an API that others will consume and you want to let them dynamically replace parts of the UI within your components, you'll have quite a challenge giving your users a simple and flexible API based on Views (see for example many things in Stream's SDK that I used to work on). Gets even more difficult if this is within a RecyclerView.

So that's the implementation we ended up with for now! You can find all of this code in the Chat Android SDK's GitHub repository if you want to look at it in a real project.

Check out Stream on Github. They have a few chat SDKs for iOS, Android, React and a few others. Website: https://getstream.io/

We’ll use our very own Android Chat SDK in our examples. This SDK is made up of multiple artifacts, but for simplification, we’ll just talk about publishing the low-level networking client, which lives in the stream-chat-android-client module of the GitHub repository.

We already ship a UI Components library in our Chat SDK which contains ready-to-go, fully-featured Android Views to drop into your app, along with ViewModels that let you connect them to business logic in just a single line of code. You can check out how that works in our Android Chat Tutorial.

That's the end of our sort-of long tutorial. The great thing about TalkJS is how customizable it is right out of the box. It is built with this idea in mind, and you can achieve pretty much anything your use case or requirement demands. You can find the source code for this tutorial on our Github repository.

In this tutorial, we're going to show you how to export data from Sendbird and import it to TalkJS. This is really helpful if you are trying to switch platforms and onboard with TalkJS. In case you’re using some other chat API the steps would be very similar to this one. The basic flow is to get all the data using Sendbird’s API, make some data transformations so that TalkJS can identify it, and then finally invoke the TalkJS APIs with the transformed data. You can find the entire source code in our Github repository.

Now that I have removed a user from a conversation, can I delete the entire user and their associated data? TalkJS currently does not have a way to delete user data. Instead, could use the edit endpoints to remove any personally identifiable information (PII) associated with the user. There is a script that you can use to automate this process which can be found in the TalkJS GitHub examples repository.
