How can I customize the message bubble to include also the name of the user and time of the message in react...












1














I am using gifted chat library in react native but the default view is to display only the avatar and the message in the bubble. I am building a group chat and I want to also display the name of the user in each bubble and the time the message was sent.



I added renderMessage(props) {...} property and if I return here a custom View with Text I can display the name of the user, but I am losing all the formatting that is already made by the library.



Is there a way to toggle to show the user.name of the message without rebuilding all the style from ground? I didn't found on the documentation something like this and I think it would be very helpful.
