You can launch CometChatUsersWithMessages directly using Navigator.push, or you can define it as a widget within the build method of your State class.

1. Using Navigator to Launch CometChatUsersWithMessages

Dart

Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => CometChatDetails(
    user: User(
        uid: "uid",
        name: "name",

class UserDetails extends StatefulWidget {
  const UserDetails({super.key});

  @override
  State<UserDetails> createState() => _UserDetailsState();
}

class _UserDetailsState extends State<UserDetails> {

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
        body: SafeArea(
            child: CometChatDetails(
                user: User(
                    uid: "uid",
                    name: "name",

}

Actions

Actions dictate how a widgets functions. They are divided into two types: Predefined and User-defined. You can override either type, allowing you to tailor the behavior of the widgets to fit your specific needs.

      name: "name"
  ),
  onBack: () {
    // TODO("Not yet implemented")
  },
)

2. onError

This method onError, allows users to override error handling within CometChatDetails, providing greater control over error responses and actions.

  user: User(
      uid: "uid",
