Message List - CometChat Docs

Overview

MessageList is a Composite Component that displays a list of messages and effectively manages real-time operations. It includes various types of messages such as Text Messages, Media Messages, Stickers, and more. MessageList is primarily a list of the base component MessageBubble. The MessageBubble Component is utilized to create different types of chat bubbles depending on the message type.

Usage

Integration

The following code snippet illustrates how you can directly incorporate the MessageList component into your Application.

App.tsx

import { CometChat } from "@cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native";
import { CometChatMessageList } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native";

function App(): React.JSX.Element {
  const [chatUser, setChatUser] = React.useState<CometChat.User | undefined>();

  React.useEffect(() => {
    CometChat.getUser("uid").then((user) => {
      setChatUser(user);
    });
  }, []);

  return <>{chatUser && <CometChatMessageList user={chatUser} />}</>;
}

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. onThreadRepliesPress

onThreadRepliesPress is triggered when you click on the threaded message bubble. The onThreadRepliesPress action doesn’t have a predefined behavior. You can override this action using the following code snippet.

App.tsx

import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native';
import { CometChatMessageList } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native';

function App(): React.JSX.Element {
    const [chatUser, setChatUser] = React.useState<CometChat.User| undefined>();

    React.useEffect(() => {
        CometChat.getUser("uid").then((user) => {
            setChatUser(user);
        })
    }, []);

   const onThreadRepliesPressHandler = (messageObject: CometChat.BaseMessage, messageBubbleView: () => JSX.Element) => {
     //code
   }

   return (
     <>
         { chatUser && <CometChatMessageList
              user={chatUser}
              onThreadRepliesPress={onThreadRepliesPressHandler}
           />
          }
     </>
   );
}

2. onError

This action doesn’t change the behavior of the component but rather listens for any errors that occur in the MessageList component.

App.tsx

import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native';
import { CometChatMessageList } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native';

function App(): React.JSX.Element {
    const [chatUser, setChatUser] = React.useState<CometChat.User| undefined>();

    React.useEffect(() => {
        CometChat.getUser("uid").then((user) => {
            setChatUser(user);
        })
    }, []);

   const onErrorHandler = (error: CometChat.CometChatException) => {
     //code
   }

   return (
     <>
         { chatUser && <CometChatMessageList
              user={chatUser}
              onError={onErrorHandler}
           />
          }
     </>
   );
}

Filters

You can adjust the MessagesRequestBuilder in the MessageList Component to customize your message list. Numerous options are available to alter the builder to meet your specific needs. For additional details on MessagesRequestBuilder, please visit MessagesRequestBuilder. In the example below, we are applying a filter to the messages based on a search substring and for a specific user. This means that only messages that contain the search term and are associated with the specified user will be displayed

App.tsx

import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native';
import { CometChatMessageList } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native';

function App(): React.JSX.Element {
    const [chatUser, setChatUser] = React.useState<CometChat.User| undefined>();

    React.useEffect(() => {
        CometChat.getUser("uid").then((user) => {
            setChatUser(user);
        })
    }, []);

    const messageRequestBuilder = new CometChat.MessagesRequestBuilder().setLimit(5);

    return (
     <>
         { chatUser && <CometChatMessageList
              user={chatUser}
              messageRequestBuilder={messageRequestBuilder}
           />
          }
     </>
   );
}

infoThe following parameters in messageRequestBuilder will always be altered inside the message list

UID
GUID

Events

Events are emitted by a Component. By using event you can extend existing functionality. Being global events, they can be applied in Multiple Locations and are capable of being Added or Removed. The list of events emitted by the Message List component is as follows.

Event	Description
openChat	this event alerts the listeners if the logged-in user has opened a user or a group chat
ccMessageEdited	Triggers whenever a loggedIn user edits any message from the list of messages. It will have two states such as: inProgress & sent
ccMessageDeleted	Triggers whenever a loggedIn user deletes any message from the list of messages
ccActiveChatChanged	This event is triggered when the user navigates to a particular chat window.
ccMessageRead	Triggers whenever a loggedIn user reads any message.
ccMessageDelivered	Triggers whenever messages are marked as delivered for the loggedIn user

Adding CometChatMessageEvents Listener’s

JavaScript

import { CometChatUIEventHandler } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native";

CometChatUIEventHandler.addUIListener("UI_LISTENER_ID", {
  openChat: ({ user, group }) => {
    //code
  },
});

CometChatUIEventHandler.addMessageListener("MESSAGE_LISTENER_ID", {
  ccMessageEdited: ({ message }) => {
    //code
  },
});

CometChatUIEventHandler.addMessageListener("MESSAGE_LISTENER_ID", {
  ccMessageDeleted: ({ message }) => {
    //code
  },
});

CometChatUIEventHandler.addMessageListener("MESSAGE_LISTENER_ID", {
  ccMessageDelivered: ({ message }) => {
    //code
  },
});

CometChatUIEventHandler.addMessageListener("MESSAGE_LISTENER_ID", {
  ccMessageRead: ({ message }) => {
    //code
  },
});

CometChatUIEventHandler.addMessageListener("MESSAGE_LISTENER_ID", {
  addMessageListener: ({ message, user, group, theme, parentMessageId }) => {
    //code
  },
});

Removing Listeners

JavaScript

import { CometChatUIEventHandler } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native";

CometChatUIEventHandler.removeUIListener("UI_LISTENER_ID");
CometChatUIEventHandler.removeMessageListener("MESSAGE_LISTENER_ID");

Advanced

For advanced-level customization, you can set custom views to the component. This lets you tailor each aspect of the component to fit your exact needs and application aesthetics. You can create and define your views, layouts, and UI elements and then incorporate those into the component.

Templates

CometChatMessageTemplate is a pre-defined structure for creating message views that can be used as a starting point or blueprint for creating message views often known as message bubbles. For more information, you can refer to CometChatMessageTemplate. You can set message Templates to MessageList by using the following code snippet

App.tsx

import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native';
import { CometChatMessageList, BorderStyleInterface, AvatarStyleInterface } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native';

function App(): React.JSX.Element {
    const [chatUser, setChatUser] = React.useState<CometChat.User| undefined>();

    React.useEffect(() => {
        CometChat.getUser("uid").then((user) => {
            setChatUser(user);
        })
    }, []);

    const getTemplates = () => {
      let templates : CometChatMessageTemplate[] = ChatConfigurator.getDataSource().getAllMessageTemplates(theme);
      templates.map((data) => {
        if(data.type == "text") {
          data.ContentView =  (messageObject: CometChat.BaseMessage, alignment: MessageBubbleAlignmentType) => {
            const textMessage : CometChat.TextMessage = (messageObject as CometChat.TextMessage);
            return <Text style={{backgroundColor: "#fff5fd", padding: 10}}>{textMessage.getText()}</Text>
          }
        }
      });
      return templates;
    };

    return (
     <>
         { chatUser && <CometChatMessageList
              user={chatUser}
              templates={getTemplates()}
           />
          }
     </>
   );
}

DateSeperatorPattern

You can customize the date pattern of the message list separator using the DateSeparatorPattern prop. Pass a custom function to use your own pattern.

App.tsx

import React from "react";
import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native';
import { CometChatMessageList, BorderStyleInterface, AvatarStyleInterface } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native';

function App(): React.JSX.Element {
    const [chatUser, setChatUser] = React.useState<CometChat.User| undefined>();

    React.useEffect(() => {
        CometChat.getUser("uid").then((user) => {
            setChatUser(user);
        })
    }, []);

    const customDateSeparatorPattern = (date: number) => {
       const timeStampInSeconds = new Date(date * 1000);

       const day = String(timeStampInSeconds.getUTCDate()).padStart(2, '0');
       const month = String(timeStampInSeconds.getUTCMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0'); // Months are 0-indexed
       const year = timeStampInSeconds.getUTCFullYear();

       const hours = String(timeStampInSeconds.getUTCHours()).padStart(2, '0');
       const minutes = String(timeStampInSeconds.getUTCMinutes()).padStart(2, '0');

       return `${day}/${month}/${year}, ${hours}:${minutes}`;
    }

    return (
     <>
         { chatUser && <CometChatMessageList
              user={chatUser}
              dateSeperatorPattern = {customDateSeparatorPattern}
           />
          }
     </>
   );
}

       const days = [
         'Sunday',
         'Monday',
         'Tuesday',
         'Wednesday',
         'Thursday',

         'Saturday',
       ];
      const timeStamp = message['sentAt'];
      if(timeStamp) {
         const timeStampInSeconds = new Date(timeStamp * 1000);
         const day = days[timeStampInSeconds.getUTCDay()].substring(0, 3);
         const hours = timeStampInSeconds.getUTCHours();
         const minutes = String(timeStampInSeconds.getUTCMinutes()).padStart(2, '0');

         return `${day}, ${hours}:${minutes}`;
      }

      return `---, --:--`;
    };

EmptyStateView

The EmptyStateView method provides the ability to set a custom empty state view in your app. An empty state view is displayed when there are no messages for a particular user.

App.tsx

import React from "react";
import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native';
import { CometChatMessageList, BorderStyleInterface, AvatarStyleInterface } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native';

function App(): React.JSX.Element {
    const [chatUser, setChatUser] = React.useState<CometChat.User| undefined>();

    React.useEffect(() => {
        CometChat.getUser("uid").then((user) => {
            setChatUser(user);
        })
    }, []);

    const emptyViewStyle: StyleProp<ViewStyle> = {
       flex: 1,
       alignItems: 'center',
       justifyContent: 'center',
       padding: 10,
       borderColor: 'black',
       borderWidth: 1,
       backgroundColor: '#E8EAE9',

TextFormatters

Assigns the list of text formatters. If the provided list is not null, it sets the list. Otherwise, it assigns the default text formatters retrieved from the data source. To configure the existing Mentions look and feel check out CometChatMentionsFormatter

ShortCutFormatter.ts
App.tsx

import { CometChat } from "@cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native";
import {
  CometChatTextFormatter,
  SuggestionItem,
} from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native";

export class ShortCutFormatter extends CometChatTextFormatter {
  constructor() {
    super();
    this.trackCharacter = "!";
  }

  search = (searchKey: string) => {
    let data: Array<SuggestionItem> = [];

    CometChat.callExtension("message-shortcuts", "GET", "v1/fetch", undefined)
      .then((data: any) => {
        if (data && data?.shortcuts) {
          let suggestionData = Object.keys(data.shortcuts).map((key) => {
            return new SuggestionItem({
              id: key,
              name: data.shortcuts[key],
              promptText: data.shortcuts[key],
              trackingCharacter: "!",
              underlyingText: data.shortcuts[key],
            });
          });
          this.setSearchData(suggestionData); // setting data in setSearchData();
        }
      })
      .catch((error) => {
        // Some error occured
      });

    this.setSearchData(data);
  };

  // return null in fetchNext, if there's no pagination.
  fetchNext = () => {
    return null;
  };
}

Configuration

Configurations offer the ability to customize the properties of each component within a Composite Component.

MessageInformation

From the MessageList, you can navigate to the MesssageInformation component as shown in the image.

iOS
Android

If you wish to modify the properties of the MesssageInformation Component, you can use the MessageInformationConfiguration object.

App.tsx

import React from "react";
import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native';
import { CometChatMessageList, MessageInformationStyleInterface, MessageInformationConfigurationInterface } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native';

function App(): React.JSX.Element {
    const [chatUser, setChatUser] = React.useState<CometChat.User| undefined>();

    React.useEffect(() => {
        CometChat.getUser("uid").then((user) => {
            setChatUser(user);
        })
    }, []);

  const messageInformationStyle : MessageInformationStyleInterface = {
    titleTextColor: "#6851D6",
    subtitleTextColor: "red",
  }

  const messageInformationConfiguration : MessageInformationConfigurationInterface = {
    messageInformationStyle: messageInformationStyle
  }
    return (
     <>
         { chatUser && <CometChatMessageList
            user={chatUser}
            messageInformationConfiguration={messageInformationConfiguration}
        />}
     </>
   );
  }

The MessageInformationConfiguration indeed provides access to all the Action, Filters, Styles, Functionality, and Advanced properties of the MesssageInformation component. Please note that the 🛑 symbol are not accessible within the Configuration Object. Example
