Incoming Call - CometChat Docs

Overview

The Incoming call is a Component that serves as a visual representation when the user receives an incoming call, such as a voice call or video call, providing options to answer or decline the call.

The Incoming Call is comprised of the following base components:

Components	Description
cometchat-list-item	This component’s view consists of avatar, status indicator , title, and subtitle. The fields are then mapped with the SDK’s user, group class.
cometchat-button	This component represents a button with optional icon and text.
cometchat-avatar	This component component displays an image or user’s avatar with fallback to the first two letters of the username.

Usage

Integration

IncomingCallsDemo.tsx
App.tsx

import { CometChatIncomingCall } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react";
import React from "react";

const IncomingCallsDemo = () => {
  return <CometChatIncomingCall />;
};

export default IncomingCallsDemo;

import { IncomingCallsDemo } from "./IncomingCallsDemo";

export default function App() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <div>
        <IncomingCallsDemo />
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}

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. onAccept

onAccept is triggered when you click the accept button of the Incoming Call component. You can override this action using the following code snippet.

TypeScript
JavaScript

import { CometChatIncomingCall } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react";
import React from "react";

const IncomingCallsDemo = () => {
  const handleOnAccept = () => {
    console.log("custom on accept action");
  };

  return <CometChatIncomingCall onAccept={handleOnAccept} />;
};

export default IncomingCallsDemo;

import { CometChatIncomingCall } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react";
import React from "react";

const IncomingCallsDemo = () => {
  const handleOnAccept = () => {
    console.log("custom on accept action");
  };

  return <CometChatIncomingCall onAccept={handleOnAccept} />;
};

export default IncomingCallsDemo;

2. onDecline

onDecline is triggered when you click the Decline button of the Incoming Call component. You can override this action using the following code snippet.

TypeScript
JavaScript

import { CometChatIncomingCall } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react";
import React from "react";

const IncomingCallsDemo = () => {
  const handleOnDecline = () => {
    console.log("your custom on decline action");
  };

  return <CometChatIncomingCall onDecline={handleOnDecline} />;
};

export default IncomingCallsDemo;

import { CometChatIncomingCall } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react";
import React from "react";

const IncomingCallsDemo = () => {
  const handleOnDecline = () => {
    console.log("your custom on decline action");
  };

  return <CometChatIncomingCall onDecline={handleOnDecline} />;
};

export default IncomingCallsDemo;

3. onError

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

TypeScript
JavaScript

import { CometChatIncomingCall } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react";
import React from "react";

const IncomingCallsDemo = () => {
  const handleOnError = (error: CometChat.CometChatException) => {
    console.log("your custom on error action", error);
  };

  return <CometChatIncomingCall onError={handleOnError} />;
};

export default IncomingCallsDemo;

import { CometChatIncomingCall } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react";
import React from "react";

const IncomingCallsDemo = () => {
  const handleOnError = (error) => {
    console.log("your custom on error action", error);
  };

  return <CometChatIncomingCall onError={handleOnError} />;
};

export default IncomingCallsDemo;

Filters

You can set CallSettingsBuilder in the Incoming Call Component to customise the calling experience. To know more about the filters available please refer to CallSettingsBuilder.

TypeScript
JavaScript

import { CometChatIncomingCall } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react";
import React from "react";

const IncomingCallsDemo = () => {
  const getCallSettingsBuilder = (call: CometChat.Call) => {
    return new CometChatCalls.CallSettingsBuilder()
      .setIsAudioOnlyCall(
        call?.getType() === CometChatUIKitConstants.MessageTypes.audio
          ? true
          : false
      )
      .build();
  };

  return <CometChatIncomingCall callSettingsBuilder={getCallSettingsBuilder} />;
};

export default IncomingCallsDemo;

import { CometChatIncomingCall } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react";
import React from "react";

const IncomingCallsDemo = () => {
  const getCallSettingsBuilder = (call) => {
    return new CometChatCalls.CallSettingsBuilder()
      .setIsAudioOnlyCall(
        call?.getType() === CometChatUIKitConstants.MessageTypes.audio
          ? true
          : false
      )
      .build();
  };

  return <CometChatIncomingCall callSettingsBuilder={getCallSettingsBuilder} />;
};

export default IncomingCallsDemo;

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 Incoming Call component is as follows.

Event	Description
ccCallRejected	This event is triggered when the initiated call is rejected by the receiver.
ccCallAccepted	This event is triggered when the initiated call is accepted by the receiver.
ccCallEnded	This event is triggered when the initiated call successfully ends.

Add Listener

const ccCallRejected = CometChatCallEvents.ccCallRejected.subscribe(
  (call: CometChat.Call) => {
    //Your Code
  }
);

const ccCallAccepted = CometChatCallEvents.ccCallAccepted.subscribe(
  (call: CometChat.Call) => {
    //Your Code
  }
);

const ccCallEnded = CometChatCallEvents.ccCallEnded.subscribe(
  (call: CometChat.Call) => {
    //Your Code
  }
);

Remove Listener

ccCallRejected?.unsubscribe();

ccCallAccepted?.unsubscribe();

ccCallEnded?.unsubscribe();

Customization

To fit your app’s design requirements, you can customize the appearance of the Incoming Call component. We provide exposed methods that allow you to modify the experience and behavior according to your specific needs.

Style

Using CSS you can customize the look and feel of the component in your app like the color, size, shape, and fonts. Example:

TypeScript
JavaScript
css

Functionality

These are a set of small functional customizations that allow you to fine-tune the overall experience of the component. With these, you can change text, set custom icons, and toggle the visibility of UI elements. Here is a code snippet demonstrating how you can customize the functionality of the Incoming Call component.

TypeScript
JavaScript

import { CometChatIncomingCall } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react";
import React from "react";

const IncomingCallsDemo = () => {
  return (
    <CometChatIncomingCall
      disableSoundForCalls={true}
    />
  );
};

export default IncomingCallsDemo;

import { CometChatIncomingCall } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react";
import React from "react";

const IncomingCallsDemo = () => {
  return (
    <CometChatIncomingCall
      disableSoundForCalls={true}
    />
  );
};

export default IncomingCallsDemo;

Below is a list of customizations along with corresponding code snippets

Property	Description	Code
Call	The CometChat call object used to initialize and display the incoming call component.	`call={callObject}`
