Incoming Call

Overview​

The Incoming call is a Component that serves as a visual representation when the user receives an incoming call, such as a voice call or video call, providing options to answer or decline the call.

Image

The Incoming Call is comprised of the following base components:

ComponentsDescription
cometchat-list-itemThis component’s view consists of avatar, status indicator , title, and subtitle. The fields are then mapped with the SDK’s user, group class.
cometchat-iconThis component displays an icon. It currently supports only svg icons
cometchat-labelThis component provides descriptive information about the associated UI element.
cometchat-buttonThis component represents a button with optional icon and text.
cometchat-avatarThis component component displays an image or user's avatar with fallback to the first two letters of the username

Usage​

Integration​

import { CometChatIncomingCall } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react";
import React from "react";

const IncomingCallsDemo = () => {
  return <CometChatIncomingCall />;
};

export default IncomingCallsDemo;

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. onAccept​

onAccept is triggered when you click the accept button of the Incoming Call component. You can override this action using the following code snippet.

IncomingCallsDemo.tsx
import { CometChatIncomingCall } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react";
import React from "react";

const IncomingCallsDemo = () => {
  const handleOnAccept = () => {
    console.log("custom on accept action");
  };

  return <CometChatIncomingCall onAccept={handleOnAccept} />;
};

export default IncomingCallsDemo;
2. onDecline​

onDecline is triggered when you click the Decline button of the Incoming Call component. You can override this action using the following code snippet.

IncomingCallsDemo.tsx
import { CometChatIncomingCall } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react";
import React from "react";

const IncomingCallsDemo = () => {
  const handleOnDecline = () => {
    console.log("your custom on decline action");
  };

  return <CometChatIncomingCall onDecline={handleOnDecline} />;
};

export default IncomingCallsDemo;
3. onError​

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

IncomingCallsDemo.tsx
import { CometChatIncomingCall } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react";
import React from "react";

const IncomingCallsDemo = () => {
  const handleOnError = () => {
    console.log("your custom on error action");
  };

  return <CometChatIncomingCall onError={handleOnError} />;
};

export default IncomingCallsDemo;

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 ChatSDK.

The Incoming Call component does not have any exposed 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.

The list of events emitted by the Incoming Call component is as follows.

EventDescription
ccCallRejectedThis event is triggered when the initiated call is rejected by the receiver.
ccCallAcceptedThis event is triggered when the initiated call is accepted by the receiver.
ccCallEndedThis event is triggered when the initiated call successfully ends.
const ccCallRejected = CometChatCallEvents.ccCallRejected.subscribe(
  (call: CometChat.Call) => {
    //Your Code
  }
);

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

const ccCallEnded = CometChatCallEvents.ccCallEnded.subscribe(
  (call: CometChat.Call) => {
    //Your Code
  }
);
ccCallRejected?.unsubscribe();

ccCallAccepted?.unsubscribe();

ccCallEnded?.unsubscribe();

Customization​

      acceptButtonText="Your Custom Accept Button Text"
      declineButtonText="Your Decline Button Text"
      disableSoundForCalls={true}

    function formatTime(timestamp: number) {
      const date = new Date(timestamp * 1000);
      return date.toLocaleString();
    }
    if (user instanceof CometChat.User) {
      return (
