How to show badge as new message in chat list ?

[naitikpatel1990]

Hi,

Can you please tell me, how you handle new message badge icon show ?

is it handled by firebase itself or handled by your code ?

it's handled by our code. The conversation model has is_new field. It's true if there are new messages in the converversation.

Can you please send me chats Objects screenshot for let me know where it should be set 'is_new' ?

and also how you changed back when chat is open ? Do you write specific code?

The field is_new = true is set here (server side) :

The clients (ios, android, ionic,etc..) when receive the message update the field to false
