Floating Sticky dates for section headers - like whatsapp #3

Hi @steve228uk ,

Nice work - it helps a lot. Had a question : How to enable sticky header to show current date.

As the base for MessengerKit is a UICollectionView you can provide a custom flow layout in a MSGMessengerStyle that provides sticky headers. This tutorial might help: https://cocoacasts.com/how-to-add-sticky-section-headers-to-a-collection-view

As this is likely going to be a highly requested feature I’ll look to implement a style for it in the future.

Maybe these links are useful:

Makes it really easy to have a sticky header/footer :)
