Now add dependency on flutter project:

• Add this to your package’s pubspec.yaml file:

Create a Stateful widget class and call the method in body

within initState():

-> ChatData.init(“app name”,context);

and in body of Widget build:

-> ChatData.widgetWelcomeScreen(context)

e.g. Create a class and call Flutter chat init screen, like below

class WelcomeScreen extends StatefulWidget {
 static const String id = "welcome_screen";
 @override
 _WelcomeScreenState createState() => _WelcomeScreenState();
}

class _WelcomeScreenState extends State<WelcomeScreen> {
 @override
 void initState() {
 super.initState();
 ChatData.init("Just Chat",context);
 }

 @override
 Widget build(BuildContext context) {
 return Scaffold(
 appBar: ChatWidget.getAppBar(),
 backgroundColor: Colors.white,
 body: ChatWidget.widgetWelcomeScreen(context));
 }
}

Now call WelcomeScreen from main.dart.

Now run the app and enjoy.
