Can we show sender time in custom outgoing message? about chat-ui-kit-react HOT 8 CLOSED

@GhazanfarKhan You can use <Message.Footer />

However, if you have your own custom message it's up to you how you put the time in it.

Not showing in message footer also

Hey @supersnager,

I came across this issue as well, it looks like it has to do with some of your SCSS styling in the styles library here.

$show-message-outgoing-sender-name: false !default;
$show-message-outgoing-single-sender-name: false !default;
$show-message-outgoing-first-sender-name: false !default;
$show-message-outgoing-last-sender-name: false !default;

$show-message-incoming-sent-time: false !default;
$show-message-incoming-single-sent-time: true !default;
$show-message-incoming-first-sent-time: true !default;
$show-message-incoming-last-sent-time: false !default;

$show-message-outgoing-sent-time: false !default; //This one in particular
$show-message-outgoing-single-sent-time: true !default;
$show-message-outgoing-first-sent-time: true !default;
$show-message-outgoing-last-sent-time: false !default;

Not sure if you meant to disabled some of these displays by default, I feel like it would be very reasonable to allow for all messages to have header/footer types. I also need $show-message-outgoing-sent-time to be true for instance. Is there any particular reason these on/off variables exist? I feel like if people don't want certain features they just wouldn't add them.

@GhazanfarKhan I figured out a workaround of this for now. If you have custom styles you should just be able to override the cs-message__sent-time class (or whichever one you actually need) to always be display: block;

Heres my example in SCSS:

.cs-message--outgoing {
    .cs-message__sent-time {
      display: block;
    }
  }

Hope this helps!
