Description of the pull request

This moves the separator to a separate widget, giving more flexibility to the annotation to manage that.

(needs update of core library when that is merged)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved message annotation layout when labels and actions don’t fit on one line.
    • Actions now move below the full label, with the separator removed for clearer presentation.
    • Standardized separator display across channel and reminder annotations.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Annotation labels no longer include inline separators. Show-in-channel and reminder annotations delegate separator rendering to StreamMessageAnnotation. The changelog documents the wrapping behavior.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1eb6e

The PR references APIs that are not available in the pinned core dependency, so the package will fail to compile. Merge should wait until the dependency is updated or those references are removed.

🌐 Web query:

GetStream stream-chat-flutter StreamMessageAnnotation separator stream_chat_flutter_core wrapping trailing action

💡 Result:

In the GetStream Flutter SDK, StreamMessageAnnotation is a component used to display contextual information above a message bubble, such as pinned message status or reminders [1]. It is part of the default message item layout and is rendered via the StreamMessageHeader slot [1]. Regarding your query about wrapping or adding trailing actions: 1. StreamMessageAnnotation specifically handles contextual markers (pinned, etc.) in the header [1]. It is not the standard location for message actions (like reply, edit, or delete). 2. Message actions are typically handled via the message long-press overlay [2]. You can customize these actions by providing a custom message builder in StreamMessageListView, using the props.actionsBuilder or the customActions parameter of the StreamMessageWidget [3][2]. 3. If you intend to wrap or modify how content is displayed in the message area, the SDK uses a factory pattern. You can replace the entire message item or specific components (like the header, leading avatar, or footer) by providing custom builders in the StreamMessageListView [1]. There is no native concept of a trailing action wrapper specifically for the StreamMessageAnnotation component itself. If you need to add custom trailing elements next to annotations, you would typically need to implement a custom StreamMessageHeader widget and inject it into the StreamMessageItem via the messageHeader factory slot [1].

Update the pinned stream_core_flutter dependency or remove separator. Commit 4b7ed86a52c3109fad0a6f5118120082e378c610 defines neither StreamMessageAnnotation.separator nor a separator constructor parameter, so both sites fail to compile. Its implementation also does not wrap the trailing widget below the label.
