Listen for typing status changes

Register a ChannelHandler to receive typing status events:

Dart

NCEngine.addChannelHandler('typing-handler', ChannelHandler(
  onTypingStatusChanged: (event) {
    print(
      'Typing status changed in ${event.channelIdentifier.channelId}: ${event.userTypingStatus}',

Dart

NCEngine.removeChannelHandler('typing-handler');
