Add Members - CometChat Docs

Overview

CometChatAddMembers is a Component that allows administrators or group owners to add new members to a specific group. It enables administrators or group owners to extend the membership of a group by adding new users to participate in the group’s discussions and activities. By utilising this feature, administrators can manage group membership, and control access to group content. The administrator can select the desired users to be added to the group. This can be done by searching for specific users, selecting from a list of available users. The selected users will receive notifications to join the group.

The Add Members component is composed of the following Components:

Components	Description
cometchat-button	This component represents a button with optional icon and text.
CometChatUsers	This component the list of users

Usage

Integration

The following code snippet illustrates how you can directly incorporate the Add Members component into your Application.

AddMembersDemo.tsx
App.tsx

import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-javascript';
import { CometChatAddMembers } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-react'
import React from 'react'

const AddMembersDemo = () => {

    const [chatGroup, setChatGroup] = React.useState<CometChat.Group | undefined>();

    React.useEffect(() => {
        CometChat.getGroup("uid").then((group) => {
            setChatGroup(group);
        })
    }, []);
    return (
        <>
            {
                chatGroup &&
                <CometChatAddMembers
                    group={chatGroup}
                />
            }
        </>
    )
}

export default AddMembersDemo;

import { AddMembersDemo } from "./AddMembersDemo";

export default function App() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <AddMembersDemo />
    </div>
  );
}

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. onSelect

The onSelect action is activated when you select the done icon while in selection mode. This returns a list of all the users that you have selected. 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.

TypeScript
JavaScript

AddMembersDemo.tsx

import { CometChat } from "@cometchat/chat-sdk-javascript";
import { CometChatAddMembers } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react";
import React from "react";

const AddMembersDemo = () => {
  const [chatGroup, setChatGroup] = React.useState<
    CometChat.Group | undefined
  >();

  React.useEffect(() => {
    CometChat.getGroup("uid").then((group) => {
      setChatGroup(group);
    });
  }, []);
  function handleOnSelect(user: CometChat.User, selected: boolean): void {
    console.log(user);
    //your custom onSelect actions
  }
  return (
    <>
      {chatGroup && (
        <CometChatAddMembers group={chatGroup} onSelect={handleOnSelect} />
      )}
    </>
  );
};

export default AddMembersDemo;

AddMembersDemo.jsx

import { CometChat } from "@cometchat/chat-sdk-javascript";
import { CometChatAddMembers } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react";
import React from "react";

const AddMembersDemo = () => {
  const [chatGroup, setChatGroup] = useState(null);

  React.useEffect(() => {
    CometChat.getGroup("uid").then((group) => {
      setChatGroup(group);
    });
  }, []);
  function handleOnSelect(user, selected) {
    console.log(user);
    //your custom onSelect actions
  }
  return (
    <>
      {chatGroup && (
        <CometChatAddMembers group={chatGroup} onSelect={handleOnSelect} />
      )}
    </>
  );
};

export default AddMembersDemo;

2. onAddMembersButtonClick

The onAddMembersButtonClick action is triggered when you click the add member button after choosing the users you wish to add in the group. By default, it returns the group GUID and an array of members to be added. However, you have the flexibility to override this event and tailor it to suit your needs using the following code snippet.

TypeScript
JavaScript

    CometChat.Group | undefined
  >();

  React.useEffect(() => {
    CometChat.getGroup("uid").then((group) => {
      setChatGroup(group);
    });
  }, []);
  function handleOnAddMembersButtonClick(
    guid: string,
    membersToAdd: CometChat.GroupMember[]
  ): void {
    //your custom add member button click actions
  }
  return (
    <>
      {chatGroup && (
        <CometChatAddMembers
          group={chatGroup}
          onAddMembersButtonClick={handleOnAddMembersButtonClick}
        />
      )}
    </>
  );

  React.useEffect(() => {
    CometChat.getGroup("uid").then((group) => {
      setChatGroup(group);
    });
  }, []);
  function handleOnAddMembersButtonClick(guid, membersToAdd) {
    //your custom add member button click actions
  }
  return (
    <>
      {chatGroup && (
        <CometChatAddMembers
          group={chatGroup}
          onAddMembersButtonClick={handleOnAddMembersButtonClick}
        />
      )}
    </>
  );
};

  }
  return (
    <>
      {chatGroup && (
        <CometChatAddMembers group={chatGroup} onError={handleOnError} />
      )}
    </>
  );
};

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. UsersRequestBuilder

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

Methods	Type	Description
setLimit	number	sets the number of users that can be fetched in a single request, suitable for pagination
setSearchKeyword	String	used for fetching users matching the passed string
hideBlockedUsers	boolean	used for fetching all those users who are not blocked by the logged in user
friendsOnly	boolean	used for fetching only those users in which logged in user is a member
setRoles	List<String>	used for fetching users containing the passed tags
setTags	List<String>	used for fetching users containing the passed tags
withTags	boolean	used for fetching users containing tags
setStatus	String	used for fetching users by their status online or offline
setUIDs	List<String>	used for fetching users containing the passed users

Example In the example below, we are applying a filter to the UserList by setting the limit to eight and sorting the lists by their name.

TypeScript
JavaScript

AddMembersDemo.tsx

import { CometChat } from "@cometchat/chat-sdk-javascript";
import { CometChatAddMembers } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react";

          group={chatGroup}
          usersRequestBuilder={new CometChat.UsersRequestBuilder()
            .setLimit(8)
            .sortBy("name")}
        />
      )}
    </>
