Local author id (`me`) as property

[0xfrej]

I'd like to have option for changing author me as it would erase needment for writing middleware that would be replacing it for correct id (possibly with huge performance impact upon message batch loading from server).

Yep, should be awesome if you can declare "me" as a prop so we can use ID instead of "me". Would be silly to write some function that detects who is me at what time when it would be easy to compare it against prop 😊

Also there should be ability to declare keys for name, imageURL etc.. It is also doable, just check if there is prop, if not then use your own keys but if there is you can use dynamic keys.

I added the ability to have "me" as a prop on my local project. If there is no activity soon I can create the fork if I have time.  🍻

Hello and thanks for stopping by.

I definitely agree. me doesn't make much sense to be honest.

@MaeseppTarvo's proposal makes sense, if you could make a PR I would merge it and make the final adjustments if needed.

Cheers.
