- User Information: It displays details about the user. This includes his/her profile picture, name, status, and other relevant information.
- User Actions: The details screen provides actions to block/unblock the user.
Usage
Integration
The following code snippet illustrates how you can directly incorporate the Users component into your Application.

- app.component.ts
- app.component.html
import { CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA, NgModule } from "@angular/core";
import { BrowserModule } from "@angular/platform-browser";
import { CometChatDetails } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-angular";
import { AppComponent } from "./app.component";
@NgModule({
imports: [BrowserModule, CometChatDetails],
declarations: [AppComponent],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [AppComponent],
schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA],
})
export class AppModule {}
import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-javascript';

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. onClose
The onClose
event is typically triggered when the close button is clicked and it carries a default action. However, with the following code snippet, you can effortlessly override this default operation.
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
- app.component.html
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 userObject!: CometChat.User;
public handleOnClose = () => {
console.log("Your custom on close actions");
}
ngOnInit(): void {
CometChat.getUser("uid").then((user: CometChat.User) => {
this.userObject = user;
});
}
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 });
}
);
}
}
<div class="fullwidth">
<cometchat-details
*ngIf="userObject"
[user]="userObject"
[onClose]="handleOnClose"
></cometchat-details>
</div>
2. onError
This action doesn't change the behavior of the component but rather listens for any errors that occur in the User component.
- app.component.ts
- app.component.html
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 userObject!: CometChat.User;
public handleOnError = (error: CometChat.CometChatException) => {
console.log("your custom on error action", error);
};
ngOnInit(): void {
CometChat.getUser("uid").then((user: CometChat.User) => {
this.userObject = user;
});
}
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 });
}
);
}
}
<div class="fullwidth">
<cometchat-details
*ngIf="userObject"
[user]="userObject"
[onError]="handleOnError"
></cometchat-details>
</div>
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.
CometChatDetails
component does not have available filters.
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.
To handle events supported by Users you have to add corresponding listeners by using CometChatUserEvents
The list of User Related Events
emitted by the Details component is as follows:
Event | Description |
---|---|
ccUserBlocked | This event is triggered when the user successfully blocks another user. |
ccUserUnblocked | This event is triggered when the user successfully unblocks another user. |
- TypeScript
import {CometChatMessageEvents} from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-angular";
this.ccUserBlocked = CometChatMessageEvents.ccUserBlocked.subscribe(
(user: CometChat.User) => {
// Your Code
}
);
Removing CometChatUserEvents
Listener's
- TypeScript
this.ccUserBlocked.unsubscribe();
