LikeMinds Chat SDK for React Native

Drop-in chat for React Native apps. Group chatrooms, 1:1 DMs, polls, voice notes and reactions, with an offline-first local database.

Docs: https://docs.likeminds.io/

What you get

Group chatrooms and 1:1 DMs with request, approve, reject, block and rate limits · emoji reactions · reply, edit, delete, multi-select · @-mentions · polls · voice notes · images, video, GIFs, PDFs and documents · link previews · chatroom topics · search · explore chatrooms · secret chatrooms and invites · report and moderation.

Beyond the shared feature set: a Realm local database so chat works offline and syncs on reconnect, swipe-to-reply, and FCM with Notifee push carrying deep-link routing.

Install

npm install @likeminds.community/chat-rn-core

This is the UI layer. It depends on the data layer:

npm install @likeminds.community/chat-rn

Source for the data layer is at likeminds-chat-reactnative-data.

Optional peer dependencies

GIF support, voice-note record and playback, and clipboard are opt-in. Install them only if you need those features, so apps that do not are not carrying the weight.
