Help me to make photon chat is simple

Hi guys!
I imported photon chat to use. But the package more than 500 lines code. In a postion as a newbie. I cant understand all of line code. And I wonder why Photon Chat have no document like PUN or Bolt. It too little documentation as well as incomplete

((
Currently, I just want implement the feature chat, with send chat to sever with formatted JSON, and receive message. Not want more feature like friend, status online,,.. I don't know which line to delete in Photon Chat package

Hi @hieutran196,

Thank you for choosing Photon!

You do not need to delete anything.

You need to implement a chat callbacks listener interface and periodically call chatClient.Service() like from an Update method of a MonoBehaviour. The rest is optional and up to you.

Other than that, you can find documentation here and API reference here.

Example of minimalist MyChatClient class you could use as a starting point:

using ExitGames.Client.Photon;
using Photon.Chat;
using UnityEngine;

public class MyChatClient : MonoBehaviour, IChatClientListener
{
    private ChatClient chatClient;

    #region MonoBehaviour

    // Use this for initialization
    void Start()
    {
        chatClient = new ChatClient(this);
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (chatClient != null)
        {
            chatClient.Service();
        }
    }

    #endregion

    #region Public Methods

    public void Connect(string appId, string appVersion, AuthenticationValues authValues)
    {
        chatClient.Connect(appId, appVersion, authValues);
    }

    public bool SubscribeToPublicChannel(string channelName)
    {
        return chatClient.Subscribe(channelName);
    }

    public bool SendPrivateMessage(string targetUserId, object message)
    {
        return chatClient.SendPrivateMessage(targetUserId, message);
    }

    public bool PublishMessage(string channelName, object message)
    {
        return chatClient.PublishMessage(channelName, message);
    }

    #endregion

    #region IChatClientListener

    public void DebugReturn(DebugLevel level, string message)
    {
        if (this.chatClient.DebugOut != DebugLevel.ALL && level > this.chatClient.DebugOut)
        {
            return;
        }
        if (level == DebugLevel.ERROR)
        {
            Debug.LogError(message);
        }
        else if (level == DebugLevel.WARNING)
        {
            Debug.LogWarning(message);
        }
        else if (level == DebugLevel.INFO)
        {
            Debug.Log(message);
        }
        else if (level == DebugLevel.ALL)
        {
            Debug.Log(message);
        }
    }

    public void OnChatStateChange(ChatState state)
    {
        // todo: replace with your code
    }

    public void OnConnected()
    {
        // todo: replace with your code
    }

    public void OnDisconnected()
    {
        // todo: replace with your code
    }

    public void OnGetMessages(string channelName, string[] senders, object[] messages)
    {
        // todo: replace with your code
    }

    public void OnPrivateMessage(string sender, object message, string channelName)
    {
        // todo: replace with your code
    }

    public void OnStatusUpdate(string user, int status, bool gotMessage, object message)
    {

    public void OnSubscribed(string[] channels, bool[] results)
    {

    {
        // todo: replace with your code
    }

    public void OnUserSubscribed(string channel, string user)
    {
        // todo: replace with your code
    }

    public void OnUserUnsubscribed(string channel, string user)
    {
        // todo: replace with your code
    }

    #endregion
}
