We are using chat module for our proejct, it works normally. Due to make compatible to our requirement, we need to extra properties for chat module and also add logic for field and it work fine. However, We know that everytime ABP update to the new version, our code will need to be implement again and may align with the new change from abp
This will increase development cost, so colud you please give us a best practice and step by step guide for resolve this problem

Hi,
I think you can add the module source code to the solution to customize it.
Since the source code is already in your solution, you can make any changes you want

Hi Liangshiwei,
We don’t want to customize the source code as we need to upgrade to the newer abp versions. Does the Chat module support extra properties configuration like other module? If yes, show us how to configure to add more properties to the Message entity. If the Chat module does not support configuring extra properties, please advise us the best way to add more properties to the Message entity so that we could update to the newer abp version without reimplementing to code. Thank you in advance

Unfortunately, Chat module does not support extra properties
You can create a new entity instead of extending an existing one:
public class MessageExtras: Entity... { public Guid MessageId { get; set;} // message foreign key public Guid EntityId {get; set;} public string EntityCategory {get; set;} public List<string> Attachments { get; set} } -

Hi,
In your case, I wouldn't recommend extending the chat backend code, but only customizing the UI.
You can download the UI source code and add to your solution: https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/UI/Angular/Component-Replacement
In the UI you can make HTTP requests to your application service, for example:
public class MessageExtrasAppService: ... { public async Task GetMessageExtrasAsync(Guid messageId) { } public async Task UploadAttachmentAsync(...) { } }
