TLChat

TLChat

High imitation of WeChat, iOSAppTemplate code reconstruction. This version of TLChat is implemented based on TLKit and ZZFLEX.

Recent plans

In the near future, the project structure will be sorted out and the entire project will be modularized at the code level, mainly including:

• The chat interface is reconstructed and logically independent;
• Main control logic arrangement;
• The main list is reconstructed using ZZFLEX to increase its scalability;
• ZZFLEX is a one-layer encapsulation of UIKit, which mainly includes a data-driven list framework and chain expansion of commonly used controls in UIKit. ZZFLEX related information is being compiled and is now open source;
• iOS11 adaptation;
• Other functions should be improved.
