  @override
  State<OutgoingCallExample> createState() => _OutgoingCallExampleState();
}

class _OutgoingCallExampleState extends State<OutgoingCallExample> {

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: SafeArea(
        child: CometChatOutgoingCall(
            user: user, // User Object

Actions

Actions dictate how a component functions. They are divided into two types: Predefined and User-defined. You can override either type, allowing you to tailor the behavior of the component to fit your specific needs.
1. onDecline
The onDecline action is typically triggered when the call is ended, carrying out default actions. However, with the following code snippet, you can effortlessly customize or override this default behavior to meet your specific needs.
  • Dart
CometChatOutgoingCall(
  user: user, // User Object
  call: callObject, // Call Object
  onDecline: (BuildContext context, Call call) {
    // TODO("Not yet implemented")
  },
)
2. onError
You can customize this behavior by using the provided code snippet to override the onError and improve error handling.
  • Dart
CometChatOutgoingCall(
  user: user, // User Object
  call: callObject, // Call Object
  onError: (e) {
    // TODO("Not yet implemented")
  },
)
