What's Included

Public API

API	Description
`EnxChatScreen(config: EnxBotConfig)`	Full-screen, ready-made chat scaffold with AppBar
`EnxChatWidget(config: EnxBotConfig)`	Embeddable chat widget for use inside any page/layout
`EnxChatScreen.withController` / `EnxChatWidget.withController`	Factories that accept an externally owned EnxChatController (Provider/Riverpod/BLoC/GetX)
`EnxBotConfig`	Configuration model: `botId`, `host`, `rootPath`, `callingEnabled`
`EnxChatController`	ChangeNotifier coordinator: messages, status, botInfo, and send/reset/reconnect actions
`EnxChatController.messageStream` / `statusStream`	Reactive streams for BLoC-style consumers
`EnxChatTheme`	Colour tokens for the app bar, bubbles, and avatars
`EnxMessage`	Message model: `text`, `action`, `suggestion`, `image`, `file`, `video`, `calendar`, `system`

Chat Mode

Full chat interface with message list (EnxChatList) and input bar (EnxInputBar)
Bot avatar/name and startup info loaded from the bridge's botInfo payload
Animated typing indicator (EnxTypingBubble) while the bot composes a reply
Configurable theme colours via EnxChatTheme

Message Types Supported

Plain text messages, optionally with action link buttons
Single-select and multi-select suggestion chips
Image cards with title, subtitle, actions, and suggestions
File attachment cards (documents, PDFs, etc.)
Video cards with thumbnail and play overlay
Calendar (date picker) prompts
Centered system / handover status messages

Media Attachments

Image and video picking via image_picker
Document picking via file_picker
MIME type detection and raw byte upload through the WebView bridge
Cached network image loading via cached_network_image

Click-to-Call Mode

Server-driven via botInfo.clickToCall (“text”, “audio”, or “video”) — the full chat UI is shown for “text”, a call-only UI otherwise
showClickToCallVideoOnlyUi on EnxChatController exposes this state to the host app
Full-screen agent video overlay (EnxVideoCallOverlay) using flutter_inappwebview
Audio/video call buttons in the input bar when callingEnabled = true

Technical

WebView-based JS bridge (EnxWebViewBridge) built on webview_flutter, with flutter_inappwebview for the call overlay
Inline media playback support (getUserMedia) configured for both iOS (WKWebView) and Android WebView
Runtime permission handling via permission_handler for camera/microphone
Package renamed from enx_chatbot_flutter to dialogs_chatbot_flutter (Android package com.dialogs_chatbot_flutter, plugin class DialogsChatbotFlutterPlugin)
