If both props provided → Use props, skip form\n2. If data in AsyncStorage → Use stored data, skip form\n3. Otherwise → Show form\n\n---\n\n### 2. **Real-time Messaging**\n\n- Instant message delivery via Socket.IO\n- Optimistic updates (messages appear immediately)\n- Message status indicators (✓ sent, ✓✓ delivered)\n- Auto-scroll to latest message\n- Support for text and file attachments\n\n---\n\n### 3. **Message Status**\n\n```\n✓   - Message sent\n✓✓  - Message delivered (echoed by server)\n```\n\n---\n\n### 4. **Engagement Alert**\n\nAfter 30 seconds of inactivity, an alert bubble appears:\n\n```\n💬 [Need help? Chat with us!] [✕]\n```\n\n- Auto-hides when chat is opened\n- Can be manually dismissed\n- Smooth fade animations\n- Shows only once per session\n\n---\n\n### 5. **Emoji Picker**\n\nBuilt-in emoji picker with 38 popular emojis:\n- 😀 😁 😂 🤣 😊 😍 😘 😎 😇 🙂\n- 🙃 😉 😌 😴 🤔 🤗 😱 😭 😅 👍\n- 👎 👏 🙏 🔥 🎉 ❤️ 💔 ✨ ⭐ 🌟\n- 💡 ✅ ❌ 📎 📷 🖼️ 📁 📄\n\nToggle with the 😊 button in the input area.\n\n---\n\n### 6. **File

these AsyncStorage keys:\n\n| Key | Description | Example Value |\n|-----|-------------|---------------|\n| `chatId` | Unique chat session ID | `\"a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890\"` |\n| `customerName_{chatId}` | Customer name for this chat | `\"John Doe\"` |\n| `customerPhone_{chatId}` | Customer phone for this chat | `\"+233 24 123 4567\"` |\n| `customerEmail_{chatId}` | Customer email for this chat | `\"john@example.com\"` |\n\n---\n\n## 🧹 Clearing Chat Data\n\nTo clear stored chat data (e.g., on logout):\n\n```javascript\nimport AsyncStorage from '@react-native-async-storage/async-storage';\n\n// Clear all chat data\nconst clearChatData = async () => {\n  try {\n    const chatId = await AsyncStorage.getItem('chatId');\n    if (chatId) {\n      await AsyncStorage.multiRemove([\n        'chatId',\n        `customerName_${chatId}`,\n        `customerPhone_${chatId}`,\n        `customerEmail_${chatId}`,\n      ]);\n      console.log('Chat data cleared');\n    }\n  } catch (error) {\n    console.error('Error clearing chat data:', error);\n  }\n};\n\n// Use on logout\nconst handleLogout = async () => {\n  await clearChatData();\n  // ... rest of logout logic\n};\n```\n\n---\n\n## 🐛 Troubleshooting\n\n### 1. **Widget not appearing**\n\n**Cause:** Widget is positioned off-screen or behind other elements.\n\n**Solution:** \n- Ensure parent View has `flex: 1`\n- Try different `position` prop values\n- Check z-index of other components\n\n```javascript\n<View style={{ flex: 1 }}>  {/* ✅ flex: 1 required */}\n  <YourContent />\n  <ChatWidget {...props} />\n</View>\n```\n\n---\n\n### 2. **Form keeps showing**\n\n**Cause:** Both `initialCustomerName` and `initialCustomerPhone` not provided.\n\n**Solution:** Provide BOTH props to skip form:\n\n```javascript\n// ❌ Won't skip form (only one prop)\n<ChatWidget\n  apiKey=\"key\"\n  organizationId=\"org\"\n  initialCustomerName=\"John\"\n/>\n\n// ✅ Skips form (both props)\n<ChatWidget\n  apiKey=\"key\"\n  organizationId=\"org\"\n  initialCustomerName=\"John\"\n  initialCustomerPhone=\"+233241234567\"\n/>\n```\n\n---\n\n### 3. **Messages not sending**\n\n**Cause:** Not connected to Socket.IO server or server not responding.\n\n**Solution:**\n- Check connection status in widget header\n- Verify server is running and accessible\n- Check console logs for connection errors\n- Ensure firewall allows WebSocket connections\n\n```javascript\n// Debug logs in console:\n[ChatWidget] Socket connected with ID: abc123...\n[ChatWidget] Emitted join_chat\n```\n\n---\n\n### 4. **TypeScript errors**\n\n**Cause:** Missing or outdated type definitions.\n\n**Solution:**\n```bash\n# Reinstall package\nnpm install rn-kova-live-chat@latest\n\n# Or manually add types\nnpm install --save-dev @types/rn-kova-live-chat\n```\n\n---\n\n## 🔒 Security Best Practices\n\n### 1. **API Key Storage**\n\nNever hardcode API keys in your code:\n\n```javascript\n// ❌ Bad - Hardcoded\n<ChatWidget apiKey=\"sk_live_12345\" />\n\n// ✅ Good - Environment variable\nimport Config from 'react-native-config';\n<ChatWidget apiKey={Config.CHAT_API_KEY} />\n\n// ✅ Good - Secure storage\nimport * as SecureStore from 'expo-secure-store';\nconst apiKey = await SecureStore.getItemAsync('chat_api_key');\n<ChatWidget apiKey={apiKey} />\n\n// ✅ Good - From backend\nconst apiKey = user.chatCredentials.apiKey;\n<ChatWidget apiKey={apiKey} />\n```\n\n---\n\n### 2. **User Data**\n\n- Never log sensitive user information\n- Use secure storage for credentials\n- Clear data on logout\n- Implement proper authentication\n\n---\n\n### 3. **Network Security**\n\n- Always use WSS (WebSocket Secure) in production\n- Validate SSL certificates\n- Implement rate limiting on your server\n- Use HTTPS for all API endpoints\n\n---\n\n## 📚 Advanced Usage\n\n### Custom Theme Object (Future)\n\nThe `theme` prop is reserved for future customization:\n\n```javascript\n<ChatWidget\n  apiKey=\"key\"\n  organizationId=\"org\"\n  theme={{\n    // Future theme options will go here\n    fontFamily: 'CustomFont',\n    borderRadius: 12,\n    // etc.\n  }}\n/>\n```\n\n---\n\n### Multiple Widgets\n\nYou can render multiple widgets for different purposes:\n\n```javascript\nfunction App() {\n  return (\n    <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>\n      <AppContent />\n      \n      {/* Sales chat */}\n      <ChatWidget\n        apiKey={Config.SALES_API_KEY}\n        organizationId=\"sales-team\"\n        primaryColor=\"#059669\"\n        position=\"bottom-right\"\n      />\n      \n      {/* Support chat */}\n      <ChatWidget\n        apiKey={Config.SUPPORT_API_KEY}\n        organizationId=\"support-team\"\n        primaryColor=\"#2563EB\"\n        position=\"bottom-left\"\n      />\n    </View>\n  );\n}\n```\n\n---\n\n### Programmatic Control\n\nControl widget state from parent component:\n\n```javascript\nimport React, { useRef } from 'react';\nimport ChatWidget from '@arkesel/rn-kova-live-chat';\n\nfunction App() {\n  const chatRef = useRef(null);\n  \n  const openChat = () => {\n    // Future API (not yet available)\n    chatRef.current?.open();\n  };\n  \n  return (\n    <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>\n      <Button title=\"Open Chat\" onPress={openChat} />\n      \n      <ChatWidget\n        ref={chatRef}\n        apiKey=\"key\"\n        organizationId=\"org\"\n      />\n    </View>\n  );\n}\n```\n\n---\n\n## 📦 Dependencies\n\nThe widget requires these peer dependencies:\n\n| Package | Version | Purpose |\n|---------|---------|---------|\n| `react` | `>=16.8.0` | React framework |\n| `react-native` | `>=0.60.0` | React Native framework |\n| `socket.io-client` | `>=4.5.0` | Real-time communication |\n| `@react-native-async-storage/async-storage` | `>=1.17.0` | Data persistence |\n| `moment` | `>=2.29.0` | Date/time formatting |\n\nAll dependencies are installed automatically with the package.\n\n---\n\n## 🌐 Platform Support\n\n| Platform | Support | Notes |\n|----------|---------|-------|\n| iOS | ✅ Full | iOS 11+ |\n| Android | ✅ Full | Android 5.0+ (API 21+) |\n| Expo Go | ✅ Full | No native code required |\n| Web | ⚠️ Partial | Works but not optimized |\n\n---\n\n## 🧪 Testing\n\n### Test Basic Integration:\n\n```javascript\nimport React from 'react';\nimport { render } from '@testing-library/react-native';\nimport ChatWidget from '@arkesel/rn-kova-live-chat';\n\ndescribe('ChatWidget', () => {\n  it('renders without crashing', () => {\n    const { getByText } = render(\n      <ChatWidget\n        apiKey=\"test-key\"\n        organizationId=\"test-org\"\n      />\n    );\n    \n    expect(getByText).toBeDefined();\n  });\n});\n```\n\n---\n\n## 📊 Performance\n\nThe widget is optimized for performance:\n\n- **Bundle size:** ~7.8KB (minified + gzipped)\n- **Dependencies:** Only peer dependencies required\n- **Memory:** Minimal footprint (~2-5MB)\n- **Native modules:** Zero (pure JavaScript)\n- **Render performance:** 60 FPS animations\n\n---\n\n## 🔄 Migration Guide\n\n### From v1.0.x to v1.1.x:\n\n**Breaking Changes:** None! Version 1.1.x simplifies the API by moving backend configuration internal.\n\n**Old code (still works):**\n```javascript\n<ChatWidget\n  apiKey=\"key\"\n  organizationId=\"org\"\n  webSocketUrl=\"wss://server.com\"  // Ignored in v1.1.x\n  cdnBaseUrl=\"https://cdn.com\"     // Ignored in v1.1.x\n  crmWebsiteUrl=\"https://crm.com\"  // Ignored in v1.1.x\n/>\n```\n\n**New code (recommended):**\n```javascript\n<ChatWidget\n  apiKey=\"key\"\n  organizationId=\"org\"\n  // Backend URLs are now internal - no need to provide!\n/>\n```\n\n---\n\n## 🗺️ Roadmap\n\nUpcoming features:\n\n- [ ] Voice message support\n- [ ] Image/video upload\n- [ ] Push notifications\n- [ ] Typing indicators\n- [ ] Read receipts\n- [ ] Message reactions\n- [ ] File upload from device\n- [ ] Chat history export\n- [ ] Custom message templates\n- [ ] Multi-language support\n\n---\n\n## 🤝 Contributing\n\nContributions are welcome!
