Ongoing Call

Overview​

The Ongoing Call is a Component that provides users with a dedicated interface for managing real-time voice or video conversations. It includes features like a video display area for video calls, call controls for mic and camera management, participant information, call status indicators, and options for call recording and screen-sharing.

The Ongoing Call is comprised of the following components:

ComponentsDescription
cometchat-callscreen-wrapperthis component manages the interface for CometChat's call functionality, facilitating structured display and management of ongoing voice or video calls.

Usage​

Integration​

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

@NgModule({
  imports: [BrowserModule, CometChatOngoingCall],
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent],
  schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA],
})
export class AppModule {}

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. onError​

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

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 {

  constructor(private themeService:CometChatThemeService) {
    themeService.theme.palette.setMode("light")
    themeService.theme.palette.setPrimary({ light: "#6851D6", dark: "#6851D6" })
  }
  public handleOnError = (error: CometChat.CometChatException) => {
    console.log("your custom on error action", error);
  };
  onLogin(UID?: any) {
    CometChatUIKit.login({ uid: UID }).then(
      (user) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
          window.location.reload();
        }, 1000);
      },
      (error) => {
        console.log("Login failed with exception:", { error });
      }
    );
  }
}

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.

You can adjust the callSettingsBuilder in the OnGoing Call Component to customize the OnGoing Call. Numerous options are available to alter the builder to meet your specific needs. For additional details on CallSettingsBuilder, please visit CallSettingsBuilder.

Example In the example below, we are applying a filter to the outgoing call to display only audio calls and include a recording button.

import { CometChat, CometChatCalls } 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 {

  constructor(private themeService:CometChatThemeService) {
    themeService.theme.palette.setMode("light")
    themeService.theme.palette.setPrimary({ light: "#6851D6", dark: "#6851D6" })
  }
callSettingsBuilder = new CometChatCalls.CallSettingsBuilder().setIsAudioOnlyCall(true).showRecordingButton(true).build()

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

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 OnGoing Call Component is as follows.

EventDescription
ccCallEndedThis event is triggered when the initiated call successfully ends.

Adding CometChatCallEvents Listener's

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

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

Removing CometChatCallEvents Listener's

this.ccCallEnded.unsubscribe();

Customization​

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

Style​

Using Style you can customize the look and feel of the component in your app, These parameters typically control elements such as the color, size, shape, and fonts used within the component.

1. Ongoing Call Style​

To customize the appearance, you can assign a CallscreenStyle object to the Ongoing Call component.

Example

In this example, we are employing the ongoingCallStyle.

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

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

  constructor(private themeService:CometChatThemeService) {
    themeService.theme.palette.setMode("light")
    themeService.theme.palette.setPrimary({ light: "#6851D6", dark: "#6851D6" })
  }
  ongoingCallStyle = new CallscreenStyle({
    background: "#9764f5",
    maximizeIconTint: "red",
    minimizeIconTint: "white",
  });
  onLogin(UID?: any) {
    CometChatUIKit.login({ uid: UID }).then(
      (user) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
          window.location.reload();
        }, 1000);
      },
      (error) => {
        console.log("Login failed with exception:", { error });
      }
    );
  }
}

The following properties are exposed by CallscreenStyle:

PropertyDescriptionCode
maxHeightUsed to set maximum heightmaxHeight?: string,
maxWidthUsed to set maximum widthmaxWidth?: string;
minHeightUsed to set minimum heightminHeight?: string;
minWidthUsed to set minimum widthminWidth?: string;
minimizeIconTintUsed to set minimize icon tintminimizeIconTint?: string;
maximizeIconTintUsed to set maximize icon tintmaximizeIconTint?: string;
borderUsed to set borderborder?: string;
borderRadiusUsed to set border radiusborderRadius?: string;
backgroundUsed to set background colorbackground?: string;

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 Ongoing Call component.

import { CometChat, CometChatCalls } 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 {

  constructor(private themeService:CometChatThemeService) {
    themeService.theme.palette.setMode("light")
    themeService.theme.palette.setPrimary({ light: "#6851D6", dark: "#6851D6" })
  }
  public maximizeIconURL = 'icon';
  public minimizeIconURL = 'icon';
  onLogin(UID?: any) {
    CometChatUIKit.login({ uid: UID }).then(
      (user) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
          window.location.reload();
        }, 1000);
      },
      (error) => {
        console.log("Login failed with exception:", { error });
      }
    );
  }
}

resizeIconHoverTextUsed to set custom resize icon hover text[resizeIconHoverText]="'Your Custom Resize Icon Hover Text'"
callWorkflowAn enum containing the values defaultCalling and directCalling. This is used to state the type of call.[callWorkflow]="callWorkflow"
sessionIDThe unique random session ID. In case you are using default call then session ID is available in the Call object.[sessionID]="'session 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.

the OnGoing Call component does not offer any advanced functionalities beyond this level of customization.
