Usage

Integration

The following code snippet illustrates how you can directly incorporate the Reactions list component into your app.

App.tsx

import React from "react";
import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native';
import { CometChatMessages, CometChatReactionList } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native';

function App(): React.JSX.Element {
    const [chatUser, setChatUser] = React.useState<CometChat.User| undefined>();
    const [message, setMessage] = React.useState<CometChat.TextMessage | undefined>(undefined);

    React.useEffect(() => {
        CometChat.getUser("uid").then((user) => {
           setChatUser(user);
        })
        CometChat.getMessageDetails(messageId).then((message: any) => {
           setMessage(message);
        });
    }, []);

    return (
     <>
           {message && <CometChatReactionList
                        messageObject={message}
                        >}
     </>
   );
  }

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. onPress

The onPress event gets activated when a user clicks on a reaction item within the CometChat Reaction List component. This event provides a way to capture and respond to user interactions with specific reactions.

App.tsx

import React from "react";
import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native';
import { CometChatMessages, CometChatReactionList } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native';

function App(): React.JSX.Element {
    const [chatUser, setChatUser] = React.useState<CometChat.User| undefined>();
    const [message, setMessage] = React.useState<CometChat.TextMessage | undefined>(undefined);

    React.useEffect(() => {
        CometChat.getUser("uid").then((user) => {
           setChatUser(user);
        })
        CometChat.getMessageDetails(messageId).then((message: any) => {
           setMessage(message);
        });
    }, []);

    const onReactionListPressHandler = (messageReaction: CometChat.Reaction, messageObject: CometChat.BaseMessage)  => {
       //code
    }

    return (
     <>
           {message && <CometChatReactionList
                        messageObject={message}
                        onPress={onReactionListPressHandler}
                        >}
     </>
   );
  }

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 ReactionsRequestBuilder in the Reaction list Component to customize your Reaction list. Numerous options are available to alter the builder to meet your specific needs. For additional details on ReactionsRequestBuilder, please visit ReactionsRequestBuilder.

In the example below, we demonstrate the application of a filter to the reactions list. This filter allows you to fetch list of Reaction for a specific reaction.

App.tsx

import React from "react";
import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native';
import { CometChatMessages, CometChatReactionList } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native';

function App(): React.JSX.Element {
    const [chatUser, setChatUser] = React.useState<CometChat.User| undefined>();
    const [message, setMessage] = React.useState<CometChat.TextMessage | undefined>(undefined);

    React.useEffect(() => {
        CometChat.getUser("uid").then((user) => {
           setChatUser(user);
        })
        CometChat.getMessageDetails(messageId).then((message: any) => {
           setMessage(message);
        });
    }, []);

    const reactionRequestBuilder : CometChat.ReactionsRequestBuilder = new CometChat.ReactionsRequestBuilder();
    reactionRequestBuilder.setReaction("✌");

    return (
     <>
           {message && <CometChatReactionList
                        messageObject={message}
                        reactionRequestBuilder={reactionRequestBuilder}
                        >}
     </>
   );
  }

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 Reactions list component does not produce any events.

Customization

To fit your app's design requirements, you can customize the appearance of the Reaction List 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. reactionListStyle

To customize the appearance, you can assign a reactionListStyle object to the Reactions List component.

Example

In this example, we are employing the reactionListStyle.

App.tsx

import React from "react";
import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native';
import { CometChatReactionList, ReactionListStyleInterface } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native';

function App(): React.JSX.Element {
    const [chatUser, setChatUser] = React.useState<CometChat.User| undefined>();
    const [message, setMessage] = React.useState<CometChat.TextMessage | undefined>(undefined);

    React.useEffect(() => {
        CometChat.getUser("uid").then((user) => {
           setChatUser(user);
        })
        CometChat.getMessageDetails(messageId).then((message: any) => {
           setMessage(message);
        });
    }, []);

    const reactionListStyle : ReactionListStyleInterface  = {
       subtitleColor: "red",
       separatorColor: "black"
    }

    return (
     <>
           {message && <CometChatReactionList
                        messageObject={message}
                        reactionListStyle={reactionListStyle}
                        >}
     </>
   );
  }

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.

App.tsx

import React from "react";
import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native';
import { CometChatReactionList } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native';

function App(): React.JSX.Element {
    const [chatUser, setChatUser] = React.useState<CometChat.User| undefined>();
    const [message, setMessage] = React.useState<CometChat.TextMessage | undefined>(undefined);

    React.useEffect(() => {
        CometChat.getUser("uid").then((user) => {
           setChatUser(user);
        })
        CometChat.getMessageDetails(messageId).then((message: any) => {
           setMessage(message);
        });
    }, []);


    return (
     <>
           {message && <CometChatReactionList
                        messageObject={message}
                        loadingIconURL={"custom loading icon ImageSourceURI"}
