## What it is
A Swift UIKit library providing a customizable InputAccessoryView for building powerful input bars with autocomplete, attachments, and reactive toolbar components. It powers the input bars of chat apps like iMessage, Slack, and GitHawk clones.

## Use cases
- build a chat message input bar in iOS
- add @mention and #hashtag autocomplete to a text input
- create a self-sizing UITextView input bar with attachment buttons
- add photo/file attachment management to an iOS input bar
- build an iMessage or Slack style input bar in Swift
- add a customizable toolbar above the iOS keyboard

## When to choose
- you are building an iOS chat or messaging UI in UIKit and need a polished input bar
- you need mention/hashtag autocomplete and attachment views out of the box
- you want a drop-in, customizable InputAccessoryView compatible with iPhone and iPad including RTL

## When to avoid
- you are building with SwiftUI rather than UIKit
- you need an input bar for Android or cross-platform apps
- you require CocoaPods or RxExtensions support, which were removed in v6
