cometchat-flutter-v6-events

Ground truth: every listener symbol below is catalog-verified against 6.1.0. There are TWO event systems and they are not interchangeable — the exact callback set for each is FETCHED from events (UI events) and the SDK's real-time-listeners via ../cometchat-flutter-v6-core/references/docs-map.md.

Companion skills (read first)

• cometchat-flutter-v6-core — install, credentials, init→login→render. This skill ASSUMES it.

Use this skill when

"do something when a message arrives", "update a badge count", "refresh my screen when a group changes", "cometchat listener" — anything reactive OUTSIDE what the kit's widgets already do for themselves.

Prerequisites & install

Covered by core. No new package.

First: do you actually need a listener?

The kit's widgets are already live. CometChatConversations updates its own unread counts, CometChatMessageList appends incoming messages, CometChatMessageHeader shows typing and presence — all without a single listener from you. Add one only for something OUTSIDE the kit's surface: an app-level badge, an analytics hook, a push registration, navigating on an incoming call.

Adding a listener to "make the list update" is the most common mistake here — it already does.
