FileIcon

Renders the file attachment icon inside MessageList.

Best Practices

  • Use mimeType to select appropriate icons or colors.
  • Keep icon sizes consistent across file attachments.
  • Avoid heavy icon rendering logic in large lists.
  • Provide a fallback icon for unknown MIME types.
  • Customize via WithComponents to keep overrides centralized.

Basic Usage

Replace the default UI via WithComponents.

Example: change the icon size.

import { WithComponents, FileIcon } from "stream-chat-react-native";

<WithComponents
  overrides={{ FileAttachmentIcon: () => <FileIcon size={40} /> }}
>
  <Channel channel={channel}>
    <MessageList />
    <MessageComposer />
  </Channel>
</WithComponents>;
