Once the extension is installed, simply modify your application configuration as follows:

```
return [
    'bootstrap' => ['directchat'],
    'modules' => [

        ],
        // ...
    ],

    }

    /**
     * @inheritDoc
     */
    protected static function baseQuery($userId)
    {
        return parent::baseQuery($userId) ->with(['contact.profile']);
    }

    /**
     * @inheritDoc
     */
    public function fields()
    {
        return [
            //...
            'contact' => function ($model) {
                return $model['contact'];
            },
            'deleteUrl',
            'readUrl',
            'unreadUrl',
            //...
        ];
    }
}
```

```
namespace common\models;

    public function fields()
    {
        return [
            //...
            'text',
            'date' => 'created_at',
            //...
        ];
    }
}
```

//...

class MessageController extends Controller
{
    use ControllerTrait;

    /**
     * @return string
     */
    public function getMessageClass()
    {
        return Message::className();
    }

    /**
     * @return string
