Group Members

Overview​

CometChatGroupMembers is a versatile Component designed to showcase all users who are either added to or invited to a group, thereby enabling them to participate in group discussions, access shared content, and engage in collaborative activities. Group members have the capability to communicate in real-time through messaging, voice and video calls, and various other interactions. Additionally, they can interact with each other, share files, and join calls based on the permissions established by the group administrator or owner.

The CometChatGroupMembers component is composed of the following BaseComponents:

ComponentsDescription
CometChatListBaseCometChatListBase serves as a container component equipped with a title (navigationBar), search functionality (search-bar), background settings, and a container for embedding a list view.
CometChatListItemThis component renders information extracted from a User object onto a tile, featuring a title, subtitle, leading view, and trailing view. experience, facilitating seamless navigation and interaction within the component.

Usage​

Integration​

CometChatGroupMembers, as a custom view controller, offers flexible integration options, allowing it to be launched directly via button clicks or any user-triggered action. Additionally, it seamlessly integrates into tab view controllers. With group members, users gain access to a wide range of parameters and methods for effortless customization of its user interface.

The following code snippet exemplifies how you can seamlessly integrate the GroupMembers component into your application.

let group =  Group(guid: <#T##String#>, name: <#T##String#>, groupType: <#T##CometChat.groupType#>, password: <#T##String?#>)
let cometChatGroupMembers = CometChatGroupMembers(group: group)
let naviVC = UINavigationController(rootViewController: cometChatGroupMembers)
self.present(naviVC, animated: true)
info

If you are already using a navigation controller, you can use the pushViewController function instead of presenting the view controller.

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. SetOnItemClick​

This method proves valuable when users seek to override onItemClick functionality within CometChatGroupMembers, empowering them with greater control and customization options.

The setOnItemClick action doesn't have a predefined behavior. You can override this action using the following code snippet.

let cometChatGroupMembers = CometChatGroupMembers(group: group)
.setOnItemClick (onItemClick:{ groupMember, indexPath in
//Perform Your Action

})

2. SetOnItemLongClick​

This method becomes invaluable when users seek to override long-click functionality within CometChatGroupMembers, offering them enhanced control and flexibility in their interactions.

The setOnItemLongClick action doesn't have a predefined behavior. You can override this action using the following code snippet.

let cometChatGroupMembers = CometChatGroupMembers(group: group)
.setOnItemLongClick (onItemLongClick:{ groupMember, indexPath in
//Perform Your Action

})
3. SetOnError​

You can customize this behavior by using the provided code snippet to override the On Error and improve error handling.

let cometChatGroupMembers = CometChatGroupMembers(group: group)
    .setOnError (onError:{ error in
    //Perform Your Action

})

4. SetOnBack​

Enhance your application's functionality by leveraging the SetOnBack feature. This capability allows you to customize the behavior associated with navigating back within your app. Utilize the provided code snippet to override default behaviors and tailor the user experience according to your specific requirements.

let cometChatGroupMembers = CometChatGroupMembers(group: group)
    .setOnBack (onBack:{
    //Perform Your Action

})

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. GroupsRequestBuilder​

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

MethodsTypeDescription
setLimitIntConfigure the maximum number of groups to fetch in a single request, optimizing pagination for smoother navigation.
setSearchKeywordStringEmployed to retrieve groups that match the provided string, facilitating precise searches.
scopes[String]used for fetching group members based on multiple scopes

Example

In the example below, we are applying a filter to the Group List based on limit and scope.

let group =  Group(guid: "mrc-uid", name: "", groupType: .public, password: .none)
let groupMembersRequestBuilder =  GroupMembersRequest.GroupMembersRequestBuilder(guid: group.guid).set(limit: 2).set(scopes: ["admin"])

let cometChatGroupMembers = CometChatGroupMembers(group: group, groupMembersRequestBuilder: groupMembersRequestBuilder)

let naviVC = UINavigationController(rootViewController: cometChatGroupMembers)
self.present(naviVC, animated: true)
2. SearchRequestBuilder​

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

Example

let group =  Group(guid: "mrc-uid", name: "", groupType: .public, password: .none)
let groupMembersRequestBuilder =  GroupMembersRequest.GroupMembersRequestBuilder(guid: group.guid)
    .set(searchKeyword: "")

let cometChatGroupMembers = CometChatGroupMembers(group: group, groupMembersRequestBuilder: groupMembersRequestBuilder)

let naviVC = UINavigationController(rootViewController: cometChatGroupMembers)
self.present(naviVC, animated: true)

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 Join Group component is as follows.

EventDescription
onGroupMemberBanTriggers when the group member banned from the group successfully
onGroupMemberKickTriggers when the group member kicked from the group successfully
onGroupMemberChangeScopeTriggers when the group member scope is changed in the group
// View controller from your project where you want to listen events.
public class ViewController: UIViewController {

   public override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

       // Subscribing for the listener to listen events from user module
         CometChatGroupEvents.addListener("UNIQUE_ID", self as CometChatGroupEventListener)
    }
}
 // Listener events from groups module
extension  ViewController: CometChatGroupEventListener {
         public func onGroupMemberBan(bannedUser: User, bannedGroup: Group) {
         // Do Stuff
    }
        public func onGroupMemberKick(kickedUser: User, kickedGroup: Group) {
         // Do Stuff
    }
       public func onGroupMemberChangeScope(updatedBy: User, updatedUser: User, scopeChangedTo: CometChat.MemberScope, scopeChangedFrom: CometChat.MemberScope, group: Group) {
          // Do Stuff
    }
}
Emitting Group Events
///emit this when group member is banned from the group by logged in user.
CometChatGroupEvents.emitOnGroupMemberBan(bannedUser: User, bannedGroup:  Group, bannedBy: User)

///emit this when group member is kicked from the group by logged in user.
CometChatGroupEvents.emitOnGroupMemberKick(kickedUser: User, kickedGroup:  Group, kickedBy: User)

///emit this when group member's scope is changed by logged in user.
CometChatGroupEvents.emitOnGroupMemberChangeScope(updatedBy: User , updatedUser: User , scopeChangedTo: CometChat.MemberScope , scopeChangedFrom: CometChat.MemberScope, group: Group)

View Controller
public override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    // Uncubscribing for the listener to listen events from user module
CometChatGroupEvents.removeListener("LISTENER_ID_USED_FOR_ADDING_THIS_LISTENER")
}

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 own views, layouts, and UI elements and then incorporate those into the component.

The Join Group component does not provide additional functionalities beyond this level of customization.

ListItemView​

Utilize this property to assign a custom ListItem to the GroupMembers Component, allowing for enhanced customization and flexibility in its rendering.

let cometChatGroupMembers = CometChatGroupMembers(group: group)
    .setListItemView (listItemView:{ groupMember in
    //Perform Your Action
})

Example

Image

In this example, we will create a UIView file CustomListItemGroupView and pass it inside the setListItemView() method.

CustomListItemGroupView

import UIKit
import CometChatSDK
import CometChatUIKitSwift

class CustomListItemGroupView: UIView {
    // Initialize your subviews
    let titleLabel: UILabel = {
        let label = UILabel()
        label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        label.font = UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 16)
        return label
    }()

    let statusIndicator: UIView = {
        let view = UIView()
        view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        view.backgroundColor = .green
        view.layer.cornerRadius = 5
        return view
    }()

    let groupImageView: CometChatAvatar = {
        let imageView = CometChatAvatar(frame: .zero)
        imageView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        return imageView
    }()

    // Override the initializer
    override init(frame: CGRect) {
        super.init(frame: frame)
        // Add subviews and layout constraints
        addSubview(groupImageView)
        addSubview(titleLabel)
        addSubview(statusIndicator)

        NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
            groupImageView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: leadingAnchor, constant: 8),
            groupImageView.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: centerYAnchor),
            groupImageView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 40),
            groupImageView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 40),

            titleLabel.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: centerYAnchor),
            titleLabel.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: groupImageView.trailingAnchor, constant: 8),
            titleLabel.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: trailingAnchor, constant: -8),

            statusIndicator.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 10),
            statusIndicator.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 10),
            statusIndicator.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: titleLabel.trailingAnchor),
            statusIndicator.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: titleLabel.bottomAnchor)
        ])
    }

    required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }

    // Configure the view with a group member
    func configure(with groupMember: GroupMember) {
        titleLabel.text = groupMember.name

        statusIndicator.backgroundColor = groupMember.joinedAt != 0 ? .systemPurple : .gray

        if let avatarUrl = groupMember.avatar {
            groupImageView.setAvatar(avatarUrl: avatarUrl, with: groupMember.name ?? "")
        } else {
        }
    }
}

 
let cometChatGroupMembers = CometChatGroupMembers(group: group)
    .setListItemView (listItemView:{ groupMember in
        let customListItemGroupView = CustomListItemGroupView()
        customListItemGroupView.configure(with: groupMember!) // pass group member here
        return customListItemGroupView
})
info

Ensure to pass and present CometChatGroupMembers. If a navigation controller is already in use, utilize the pushViewController function instead of directly presenting the view controller.

SubtitleView​

You can set your custom Subtitle view using the .setSubtitleView() method. But keep in mind, by using this you will override the default Subtitle view functionality.

let cometChatGroupMembers = CometChatGroupMembers(group: group)
    .setSubtitleView (subtitleView:{ groupMember in
    //Perform Your Action
})
  • You can customize the subtitle view for each GroupMembers item to meet your requirements

Example

Image

In this example, we will create a Custom_Subtitle_GroupMember_Viewa UIView file.

Custom_Subtitle_GroupMember_View

import UIKit
import CometChatSDK
import CometChatUIKitSwift

class CustomSubtitleGroupMemberView: UIView {

    let memberNameLabel: UILabel = {
        let label = UILabel()
        label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        label.textColor = .init(red: 0.42, green: 0.01, blue: 0.84, alpha: 1.00)
        label.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 15, weight: .bold)
        return label
    }()

    let joinedAtLabel: UILabel = {
        let label = UILabel()
        label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        label.textColor = .systemBrown
        label.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 10, weight: .medium)
        return label
    }()

    override init(frame: CGRect) {
        super.init(frame: frame)
        addSubview(memberNameLabel)
        addSubview(joinedAtLabel)

        NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
            memberNameLabel.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: topAnchor),
            memberNameLabel.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: leadingAnchor),
            memberNameLabel.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: trailingAnchor),

            joinedAtLabel.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: memberNameLabel.bottomAnchor, constant: 2),
            joinedAtLabel.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: leadingAnchor),
            joinedAtLabel.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: trailingAnchor),
            joinedAtLabel.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: bottomAnchor)
        ])
    }

    required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }

    func configure(with groupMember: GroupMember) {
        memberNameLabel.text = "Member: \(groupMember.name ?? "")"

        let date = Date(timeIntervalSince1970: Double(groupMember.joinedAt))
        let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
        dateFormatter.dateStyle = .medium
        joinedAtLabel.text = "Joined: \(dateFormatter.string(from: date))"
    }
}

We will be passing a custom subtitle view to CometChatGroupMembers, ensuring a tailored and user-friendly interface.

let cometChatGroupMembers = CometChatGroupMembers(group: group)
    .setSubtitleView(subtitleView: { groupMember in
        let customSubtitleGroupMemberView = CustomSubtitleGroupMemberView()
        customSubtitleGroupMemberView.configure(with: groupMember!)
        return customSubtitleGroupMemberView
})
info

Ensure to pass and present CometChatGroupMembers. If a navigation controller is already in use, utilize the pushViewController function instead of directly presenting the view controller.

EmptyView report ​

You can set a custom EmptyView using .set(emptyView: UIView) to match the empty view of your app.

let cometChatGroupMembers = CometChatGroupMembers(group: group)
    .set(emptyView: UIView)

Example

In this example, we will create a Custom_Empty_State_GroupViewa UIView file.

import UIKit

class CustomEmptyStateGroupView: UIView {
    // Initialize your subviews
    let imageView: UIImageView = {
        let imageView = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "noDataImage"))
        imageView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        return imageView
    }()

    let messageLabel: UILabel = {
        let label = UILabel()
        label.text = "No groups available"
        label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        label.font = UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 16)
        label.textColor = .black
        return label
    }()

    // Override the initializer
    override init(frame: CGRect) {
        super.init(frame: frame)
        // Add subviews and layout constraints
        addSubview(imageView)
        addSubview(messageLabel)
        NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
            imageView.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: centerXAnchor),
            imageView.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: centerYAnchor),
            imageView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 120),
            imageView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 120),

            messageLabel.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: imageView.bottomAnchor, constant: 8),
            messageLabel.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: centerXAnchor)
        ])
    }

    required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }
}

We will be passing a custom empty view to CometChatGroupMembers, ensuring a tailored and user-friendly interface.

let groupMembersRequestBuilder =  GroupMembersRequest.GroupMembersRequestBuilder(guid: group.guid)
.set(limit: 1000)

let customEmptyStateGroupView = CustomEmptyStateGroupView()

let cometChatGroupMembers = CometChatGroupMembers(group: group, groupMembersRequestBuilder: groupMembersRequestBuilder)
.set(emptyView: customEmptyStateGroupView)

info

Ensure to pass and present CometChatGroupMembers. If a navigation controller is already in use, utilize the pushViewController function instead of directly presenting the view controller.

ErrorView​

You can set a custom ErrorView using .set(errorView: UIView) to match the error view of your app.

let cometChatGroupMembers = CometChatGroupMembers(group: group)
    .set(errorView: UIView)

Example

Image

In this example, we will create a UIView file Custom_ErrorState_GroupView and pass it inside the .set(errorView: UIView) method.

Custom_ErrorState_GroupView
import UIKit

let CustomErrorStateGroupView: UIView = {
        // Create main view
        let view = UIView()
        view.backgroundColor = .white

        // Create an imageView and add it to the main view
        let imageView = UIImageView(image: UIImage(systemName: "exclamationmark.triangle"))
        imageView.tintColor = .red
        imageView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        view.addSubview(imageView)

        // Create a label with error message and add it to the main view
        let label = UILabel()
        label.text = "An error occurred. Please try again."
        label.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16)
        label.textColor = .darkGray
        label.numberOfLines = 0
        label.textAlignment = .center
        label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        view.addSubview(label)

        // Create constraints for imageView and label
        NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
            imageView.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor),
            imageView.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor, constant: -50),

            label.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: imageView.bottomAnchor, constant: 20),
            label.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor, constant: 20),
            label.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor, constant: -20)
        ])

        return view
    }()
 
let groupMembersRequestBuilder =  GroupMembersRequest.GroupMembersRequestBuilder(guid: group.guid)
.set(limit: 1000)

let customErrorStateGroupView = CustomErrorStateGroupView

let cometChatGroupMembers = CometChatGroupMembers(group: group, groupMembersRequestBuilder: groupMembersRequestBuilder)
.set(errorView: customErrorStateGroupView)

info

Ensure to pass and present CometChatGroupMembers. If a navigation controller is already in use, utilize the pushViewController function instead of directly presenting the view controller.

You can set the Custom Menus to add more options to the Groups component.

let cometChatGroupMembers = CometChatGroupMembers(group: group)
    .set(menus: [UIBarButtonItem])
  • You can customize the menus for groups to meet your requirements

Example

Image

In this example, we'll craft a custom button tailored for CometChatGroupMembers, enhancing its interface with a personalized menu for a more user-friendly experience.

let customMenuButton: UIBarButtonItem = {
    let button = UIButton(type: .system)
    button.setImage(UIImage(systemName: "swift"), for: .normal)
    button.setTitle("", for: .normal)
    button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(handleCustomMenu), for: .touchUpInside)
    let barButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(customView: button)
    return barButtonItem
}()

let cometChatGroupMembers = CometChatGroupMembers(group: group)
.set(menus: [customMenuButton])

info

Ensure to pass and present CometChatGroupMembers. If a navigation controller is already in use, utilize the pushViewController function instead of directly presenting the view controller.

TailView​

You can set a custom Tailview using .setTailView() to match the TailView view of your app.

let cometChatGroupMembers = CometChatGroupMembers(group: group)
    .setTailView (tailView:{ groupMember in
    //Perform Your Action

})

Example

Image

In this example, we will create a UIView file Custom_Tail_GroupView and pass it inside the .setTailView() method.

Custom_Tail_GroupView

import UIKit
import CometChatSDK
import CometChatUIKitSwift

class CustomTailGroupView: UIView {

    let tailLabel: UILabel = {
        let label = UILabel()

Ensure to pass and present CometChatGroupMembers. If a navigation controller is already in use, utilize the pushViewController function instead of directly presenting the view controller.

Options​

Enhance your GroupsMembers component by setting Custom Options to incorporate additional functionalities when swiping

let cometChatGroupMembers = CometChatGroupMembers(group: group)
    .setOptions (options:{ group, groupMember in
    //Perform Your Action
})
  • You can customize the options for group members to meet your requirements

Example

In this example, we've enhanced the interface of CometChatGroupMembers by introducing a tailored feature. By adding a custom option, such as "Delete" with a corresponding trash icon, users can now enjoy a more interactive and user-friendly experience.

let customOption = CometChatGroupMemberOption(id: "custom_option_1",
                                              title: "Delete",
                                              icon: UIImage(systemName: "trash.square"),
                                              backgroundColor: .red,
                                              onClick: { groupMember, group, section, option, controller in
                                                        print("Custom option clicked!")
})

let cometChatGroupMembers = CometChatGroupMembers(group: group)
.setOptions(options: { group, groupMember in
return [customOption]
})
