Upgrading from V4

This guide highlights the changes introduced from v4 to v5.

Prop or Context Changes

The following values in ImageGalleryContext have been renamed:

• image -> selectedMessage
• setImage -> setSelectedMessage
• images -> messages
• setImages -> setMessages

Dependency Changes

• If you have installed stream-chat dependency explicitly in your application, then upgrade it to v7:

  yarn add stream-chat@7.0.0

• Replace @react-native-community/cameraroll dependency with @react-native-camera-roll/camera-roll:

  yarn remove @react-native-community/cameraroll
  yarn add @react-native-camera-roll/camera-roll

Unique Chat Component Instance

Until v4, you could provide a separate Chat component for each usage of Channel component or ChannelList component. But from v5, you must provide only one instance of the Chat component within your application. This component needs to be a parent for all the chat-related components such as ChannelList, Channel or Thread.
