1. User Delegate (Listener)
2. Group Delegate (Listener)
3. Message Delegate (Listener)
4. Call Delegate (Listener)

User Delegate Methods

The CometChat provides you with live events related to users. Below are the callback methods provided by the CometChatUserDelegate.

Delegate Method	Information
onUserOnline(user: User)	This method is triggered when a user comes online and is available to chat. The details of the user can be obtained from the user object received as the method parameter.
onUserOffline(user: User):	This method is triggered when a user goes offline. The details of the user can be obtained from the User object received as the parameter.

In order to use the Delegate methods you must add protocol conformance CometChatUserDelegate as Shown Below:

Swift

extension ViewController : CometChatUserDelegate {

    func onUserOnline(user: User) {
      print(user.stringValue() + " status becomes online.")
    }

    func onUserOffline(user: User) {
      print(user.stringValue() + " status becomes offline.")
    }
}

Objective C

@interface ViewController ()<CometChatUserDelegate>

@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    [CometChat setUserdelegate:self];
}

- (void)onUserOfflineWithUser:(User * _Nonnull)user {
    NSLog(@"%@ status becomes offline.",[user stringValue]);
}

- (void)onUserOnlineWithUser:(User * _Nonnull)user {

    NSLog(@"%@ status becomes online.",[user stringValue]);
}

Important

Do not forget to set your view controller as a CometChat delegate probably in viewDidLoad() as CometChat.userdelegate = self

Group Delegate Methods

The CometChatGroupDelegate provides you with all the real-time events related to groups. Below are the callback methods provided by the CometChatGroupDelegate.

Method	Information
onGroupMemberJoined(action: Action, joinedUser: User, joinedGroup: Group)	This method is triggered when a user joins any group. All the members present in the group will receive this event.
onGroupMemberLeft(action: Action, leftUser: User, leftGroup: Group)	This method is triggered when a user who was a member of any group leaves the group. All the members of the group receive this event.
onGroupMemberKicked(action: Action, kickedUser: User, kickedBy: User, kickedFrom: Group)	This method is triggered when a user is kicked from a group. All the members including the user receive this event
onGroupMemberBanned(action: Action, bannedUser: User, bannedBy: User, bannedFrom: Group)	This method is triggered when a user is banned from a group. All the members including the user receive this event
onGroupMemberUnbanned(action: Action, unbannedUser: User, unbannedBy: User, unbannedFrom: Group)	This method is triggered when a user is banned from a group. All the members of the group receive this event.
onGroupMemberScopeChanged(action: Action, updatedBy: User, updatedUser: User, scopeChangedTo: String, scopeChangedFrom: String, group: Group)	This method is triggered when the scope of any Group Member has been changed. All the members that are a part of that group receive this event
onMemberAddedToGroup(action: Action, addedby: User, userAdded: User, addedTo: Group)	This method is triggered when a user is added to any group. All the members including the user himself receive this event.

You can receive live events related to groups, In order to receive user Events, you must add protocol conformance CometChatGroupDelegate as shown below:

Swift

extension AppDelegate: CometChatGroupDelegate {

  func onGroupMemberJoined(action: ActionMessage, joinedUser: User, joinedGroup: Group) {
    print("\(joinedUser.name) joined the group \(joinedGroup.name).")
  }

  func onGroupMemberLeft(action: ActionMessage, leftUser: User, leftGroup: Group) {
    print("\(leftUser.name) left the group \(leftGroup.name).")
  }

  func onGroupMemberKicked(action: ActionMessage, kickedUser: User, kickedBy: User, kickedFrom: Group) {
    print("\(kickedUser.name) kicked from the group \(kickedFrom.name) by \(kickedBy.name).")
  }

  func onGroupMemberBanned(action: ActionMessage, bannedUser: User, bannedBy: User, bannedFrom: Group) {
    print("\(bannedUser.name) banned from the group \(bannedFrom.name) by \(bannedBy.name).")
  }

  func onGroupMemberUnbanned(action: ActionMessage, unbannedUser: User, unbannedBy: User, unbannedFrom: Group) {
    print("\(unbannedUser.name) unbanned from the group \(unbannedFrom.name) by \(unbannedBy.name).")
  }

  func onGroupMemberScopeChanged(action: ActionMessage, scopeChangeduser: User, scopeChangedBy: User, scopeChangedTo: String, scopeChangedFrom: String, group: Group) {
    print("\(scopeChangedUser.name) scope changed from \(scopeChangedFrom) to \(scopeChangedTo) by \(scopeChangedBy.name) in the group \(group.name).")
  }
}

Objective C

@interface ViewController ()<CometChatGroupDelegate>

@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
  [super viewDidLoad];
  [CometChat setGroupdelegate:self];
}

- (void)onGroupMemberBannedWithAction:(Action *)action bannedUser:(User * _Nonnull)bannedUser bannedBy:(User * _Nonnull)bannedBy bannedFrom:(Group * _Nonnull)bannedFrom {
  NSLog(@"Group member banned.");
}

- (void)onGroupMemberJoinedWithAction:(Action *)action joinedUser:(User * _Nonnull)joinedUser joinedGroup:(Group * _Nonnull)joinedGroup {
  NSLog(@"Group member joined.");
}

- (void)onGroupMemberKickedWithAction:(Action *)action kickedUser:(User * _Nonnull)kickedUser kickedBy:(User * _Nonnull)kickedBy kickedFrom:(Group * _Nonnull)kickedFrom {
  NSLog(@"Group member kicked.");
}

- (void)onGroupMemberLeftWithAction:(ActionMessage *)action leftUser:(User *)leftUser leftGroup:(Group *)leftGroup {
  NSLog(@"Group member left.");
}

- (void)onGroupMemberScopeChangedWithAction:(Action *)action user:(User * _Nonnull)user scopeChangedTo:(NSString * _Nonnull)scopeChangedTo scopeChangedFrom:(NSString * _Nonnull)scopeChangedFrom group:(Group * _Nonnull)group {
  NSLog(@"Group member scope changed.");
}

- (void)onGroupMemberUnbannedWithAction:(Action *)action unbannedUser:(User * _Nonnull)unbannedUser unbannedBy:(User * _Nonnull)unbannedBy unbannedFrom:(Group * _Nonnull)unbannedFrom {
  NSLog(@"Group member unbanned.");
}

Message Delegate Methods

The CometChatMessageDelegate provides you with live events related to messages. Below are the callback methods provided by the CometChatMessageDelegate.

Method	Information
onTextMessageReceived(textMessage: TextMessage)	This event is triggered when a Text Message is received.
