Feature: Chat typing indicator out of the box

See original GitHub issue

Issue Description

I propose adding a chat typing indicator out of the box which uses an internal state variable isTyping to animate a chat bubble in while isTyping is true and to animate the chat bubble out while isTyping is false. I’ll use vectors and react native animations. Should I have the presence of renderChatFooter disable this typing indicator?

If this is desirable and no one is working on it then I’ll probably be taking a stab at it next week.

Can’t use it that way!

Set isTyping to true dynamically after mount
