Tutorial: How to Build a Slack Clone with React Native – Part 3

Part 3 of the archived tutorial series on building a Slack clone using Stream's Chat API with React Native focuses on creating various search screens and a thread screen, which include the implementation of search functionalities and message threading within a chat application. Key features discussed include the customization of the thread screen using Stream's chat components, the addition of a checkbox for showing messages in both threads and main channels, and the use of React Native's Animated API for UI enhancements. The tutorial also explains the creation of four modal search screens and the New Message screen, which supports multi-user selection for new conversations. Additionally, it covers the Message Search screen for conducting global message searches and the storage of recent searches, illustrating how to navigate to a specific message within a channel. The guide provides code snippets for each component, emphasizing customization and integration within a React Native environment, although it notes that richer search features akin to the official Slack app are not fully explored. The tutorial concludes by encouraging further exploration of additional screens, such as Direct Messages, Mentions, and Draft Messages, available in the slack-clone-react-native repository.
