Add Members

Overview

CometChatAddMembers is a Component that allows administrators or group owners to add new members to a specific group. It enables administrators or group owners to extend the membership of a group by adding new users to participate in the group's discussions and activities. By utilising this feature, administrators can manage group membership, and control access to group content. The administrator can select the desired users to be added to the group. This can be done by searching for specific users, selecting from a list of available users. The selected users will receive notifications to join the group.

The Add Members component is composed of the following Components:

Components	Description
cometchat-button	This component represents a button with optional icon and text.
CometChatUsers	This component the list of users

Usage

Integration

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

app.module.ts

import { CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA, NgModule } from "@angular/core";
import { BrowserModule } from "@angular/platform-browser";
import { CometChatAddMembers } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-angular";
import { AppComponent } from "./app.component";

@NgModule({
  imports: [BrowserModule, CometChatAddMembers],
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  providers: [],

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. onSelect

The onSelect action is activated when you select the done icon while in selection mode. This returns a list of all the users that you have selected.

This action does not come with any predefined behavior. However, you have the flexibility to override this event and tailor it to suit your needs using the following code snippet.

app.component.ts

import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-javascript';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import {  CometChatThemeService, CometChatUIKit } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-angular';
import "@cometchat/uikit-elements";

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {

  public groupObject!: CometChat.Group;
  ngOnInit(): void {
    CometChat.getGroup("guid").then((group: CometChat.Group) => {
      this.groupObject = group;
    });
  }
  public handleOnSelect = (user: CometChat.User, selected: boolean): void => {
    console.log("Custom on select action", user, selected);
  };
  constructor(private themeService:CometChatThemeService) {
    themeService.theme.palette.setMode("light")
    themeService.theme.palette.setPrimary({ light: "#6851D6", dark: "#6851D6" })
  }

  onLogin(UID?: any) {
    CometChatUIKit.login({ uid: UID }).then(
      (user) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
          window.location.reload();
        }, 1000);
      },
      (error) => {
        console.log("Login failed with exception:", { error });
      }
    );
  }
}

app.component.html

<div class="fullwidth">
  <cometchat-add-members
    *ngIf="groupObject"
    [group]="groupObject"
    [onSelect]="handleOnSelect"
  ></cometchat-add-members>
</div>

2. onAddMembersButtonClick

The onAddMembersButtonClick action is triggered when you click the add member button after choosing the users you wish to add in the group. By default, it returns the group GUID and an array of members to be added. However, you have the flexibility to override this event and tailor it to suit your needs using the following code snippet.

app.component.ts

import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-javascript';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import {  CometChatThemeService, CometChatUIKit } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-angular';
import "@cometchat/uikit-elements";

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {

  public groupObject!: CometChat.Group;
  ngOnInit(): void {
    CometChat.getGroup("guid").then((group: CometChat.Group) => {
      this.groupObject = group;
    });
  }
  public handleOnAddMembersButtonClick = (guid: string, members: CometChat.User[]) => {
    console.log("youc custom on add members button click actions");
  };
  constructor(private themeService:CometChatThemeService) {
    themeService.theme.palette.setMode("light")
    themeService.theme.palette.setPrimary({ light: "#6851D6", dark: "#6851D6" })
  }

  onLogin(UID?: any) {
    CometChatUIKit.login({ uid: UID }).then(
      (user) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
          window.location.reload();
        }, 1000);
      },
      (error) => {
        console.log("Login failed with exception:", { error });
      }
    );
  }
}

app.component.html

<div class="fullwidth">
  <cometchat-add-members
    *ngIf="groupObject"
    [group]="groupObject"
    [onAddMembersButtonClick]="handleOnAddMembersButtonClick"
  ></cometchat-add-members>
</div>

3. OnBack

OnBack is triggered when you click on the back button of the Add Members component. You can override this action using the following code snippet.

app.component.ts

import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-javascript';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import {  CometChatThemeService, CometChatUIKit } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-angular';
import "@cometchat/uikit-elements";

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {

  public groupObject!: CometChat.Group;
  ngOnInit(): void {
    CometChat.getGroup("guid").then((group: CometChat.Group) => {
      this.groupObject = group;
    });
  }
  public handleOnBack = () => {
    console.log("Your custom on back action");
  }
  constructor(private themeService:CometChatThemeService) {
    themeService.theme.palette.setMode("light")
    themeService.theme.palette.setPrimary({ light: "#6851D6", dark: "#6851D6" })
  }

  onLogin(UID?: any) {
    CometChatUIKit.login({ uid: UID }).then(
      (user) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
          window.location.reload();
        }, 1000);
      },
      (error) => {
        console.log("Login failed with exception:", { error });
      }
    );
  }
}

app.component.html

<div class="fullwidth">
  <cometchat-add-members
    *ngIf="groupObject"
    [group]="groupObject"
    [onBack]="handleOnBack"
  ></cometchat-add-members>
</div>

4. onClose

onClose is triggered when you click on the close button of the Add Members component. You can override this action using the following code snippet.

app.component.ts

import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-javascript';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import {  CometChatThemeService, CometChatUIKit } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-angular';
import "@cometchat/uikit-elements";

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {

  public groupObject!: CometChat.Group;
  ngOnInit(): void {
    CometChat.getGroup("guid").then((group: CometChat.Group) => {
      this.groupObject = group;
    });
  }
  public handleOnClose = () => {
    console.log("Your custom on close actions");
  }
  constructor(private themeService:CometChatThemeService) {
    themeService.theme.palette.setMode("light")
    themeService.theme.palette.setPrimary({ light: "#6851D6", dark: "#6851D6" })
  }

  onLogin(UID?: any) {
    CometChatUIKit.login({ uid: UID }).then(
      (user) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
          window.location.reload();
        }, 1000);
      },
      (error) => {
        console.log("Login failed with exception:", { error });
      }
    );
  }
}

app.component.html

<div class="fullwidth">
  <cometchat-add-members
    *ngIf="groupObject"
    [group]="groupObject"
    [onClose]="handleOnClose"
  ></cometchat-add-members>
</div>

5. onError

This action doesn't change the behavior of the component but rather listens for any errors that occur in the Add Members component.

app.component.ts

import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-javascript';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import {  CometChatThemeService, CometChatUIKit } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-angular';

  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {

  public groupObject!: CometChat.Group;
  ngOnInit(): void {
    CometChat.getGroup("guid").then((group: CometChat.Group) => {
      this.groupObject = group;
    });
  }
  public handleOnError = (error: CometChat.CometChatException) => {
    console.log("your custom on error action", error);
  };
  constructor(private themeService:CometChatThemeService) {
    themeService.theme.palette.setMode("light")
    themeService.theme.palette.setPrimary({ light: "#6851D6", dark: "#6851D6" })
  }

  onLogin(UID?: any) {
    CometChatUIKit.login({ uid: UID }).then(
      (user) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
          window.location.reload();
        }, 1000);

Filters

Filters allow you to customize the data displayed in a list within a Component. You can filter the list based on your specific criteria, allowing for a more customized. Filters can be applied using RequestBuilders of Chat SDK.

1. UsersRequestBuilder

The UsersRequestBuilder enables you to filter and customize the users list based on available parameters in UsersRequestBuilder. This feature allows you to create more specific and targeted queries when fetching users. The following are the parameters available in UsersRequestBuilder

Methods	Type	Description
setLimit	number	sets the number of users that can be fetched in a single request, suitable for pagination
setSearchKeyword	String	used for fetching users matching the passed string
hideBlockedUsers	boolean	used for fetching all those users who are not blocked by the logged in user
friendsOnly	boolean	used for fetching only those users in which logged in user is a member
setRoles	List<String>	used for fetching users containing the passed tags
setTags	List<String>	used for fetching users containing the passed tags
withTags	boolean	used for fetching users containing tags
setStatus	String	used for fetching users by their status online or offline
setUIDs	List<String>	used for fetching users containing the passed users

Example

In the example below, we are applying a filter to the UserList by setting the limit to eight and sorting the lists by their name.

app.component.ts

import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-javascript';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import {  CometChatThemeService, CometChatUIKit } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-angular';
import "@cometchat/uikit-elements";

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {

  public groupObject!: CometChat.Group;
  ngOnInit(): void {
    CometChat.getGroup("guid").then((group: CometChat.Group) => {
      this.groupObject = group;
    });
  }
  usersRequestBuilder = new CometChat.UsersRequestBuilder().setLimit(8).sortBy("name");
  constructor(private themeService:CometChatThemeService) {
    themeService.theme.palette.setMode("light")
    themeService.theme.palette.setPrimary({ light: "#6851D6", dark: "#6851D6" })
  }

  onLogin(UID?: any) {
    CometChatUIKit.login({ uid: UID }).then(
      (user) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
          window.location.reload();
        }, 1000);
      },
      (error) => {
        console.log("Login failed with exception:", { error });
      }
    );
  }
}

app.component.html

<div class="fullwidth">
  <cometchat-add-members
    *ngIf="groupObject"
    [group]="groupObject"
    [usersRequestBuilder]="usersRequestBuilder"
  ></cometchat-add-members>
</div>

2. SearchRequestBuilder

The SearchRequestBuilder uses UserRequestBuilder enables you to filter and customize the search list based on available parameters in UserRequestBuilder. This feature allows you to keep uniformity between the displayed UserList and searched UserList.

Example

app.component.ts

import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-javascript';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import {  CometChatThemeService, CometChatUIKit } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-angular';
import "@cometchat/uikit-elements";

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {

  public groupObject!: CometChat.Group;
  ngOnInit(): void {
    CometChat.getGroup("guid").then((group: CometChat.Group) => {
      this.groupObject = group;
    });
  }
  searchRequestBuilder = new CometChat.UsersRequestBuilder().setLimit(8).setSearchKeyword("**")
  constructor(private themeService:CometChatThemeService) {
    themeService.theme.palette.setMode("light")
    themeService.theme.palette.setPrimary({ light: "#6851D6", dark: "#6851D6" })
  }

  onLogin(UID?: any) {
    CometChatUIKit.login({ uid: UID }).then(
      (user) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
          window.location.reload();
        }, 1000);
      },
      (error) => {
        console.log("Login failed with exception:", { error });
      }
    );
  }
}

app.component.html

<div class="fullwidth">
  <cometchat-add-members
    *ngIf="groupObject"
    [group]="groupObject"
    [searchRequestBuilder]="searchRequestBuilder"
  ></cometchat-add-members>
</div>

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.

Events emitted by the Add Members component is as follows.

Event	Description
ccGroupMemberAdded	Triggers when a user added to a group successfully

TypeScript

import {CometChatGroupEvents} from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-angular";

this.ccGroupMemberAdded = CometChatGroupEvents.ccGroupMemberAdded.subscribe(
  (item: IGroupMemberAdded) => {
        // Your Code
  }
);

---

Removing CometChatGroupEvents Listener's

TypeScript

this.ccGroupMemberAdded.unsubscribe();
