#import "<#YourProductModule#>-Swift.h"

@interface <#YourViewController#> () <LGChatControllerDelegate>

@end

@implementation

#pragma mark - Launch Chat Controller

- (void)launchChatController
{
    LGChatController *chatController = [LGChatController new];
    chatController.opponentImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"<#YourImageName#>"];
    chatController.title = @"<#YourTitle#>";
    LGChatMessage *helloWorld = [[LGChatMessage alloc] initWithContent:@"Hello World" sentByString:[LGChatMessage SentByUserString]];
    chatController.messages = @[helloWorld]; // Pass your messages here.
    chatController.delegate = self;
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:chatController animated:YES];
}

#pragma mark - LGChatControllerDelegate

- (void)chatController:(LGChatController *)chatController didAddNewMessage:(LGChatMessage *)message
{
    NSLog(@"Did Add Message: %@", message.content);
}

- (BOOL)shouldChatController:(LGChatController *)chatController addMessage:(LGChatMessage *)message
{
    /*

    */
    return YES;
}

@end
