Delete A Conversation

Delete A Conversation — CometChat documentation.

In case you want to delete a conversation, you can use the deleteConversation() method.

This method takes two parameters. The unique id (UID/GUID) of the conversation to be deleted & the type (user/group) of conversation to be deleted.

JavaScript (Delete User Conversation)

let UID = "UID";
let type = "user";
CometChat.deleteConversation(UID, type).then(
    deletedConversation => {
        console.log(deletedConversation);
    }, error => {
        console.log('error while deleting a conversation', error);
    }
);

JavaScript (Delete Group Conversation)

let GUID = "GUID";
let type = "group";
CometChat.deleteConversation(GUID, type).then(
    deletedConversation => {
        console.log(deletedConversation);
    }, error => {
        console.log('error while deleting a conversation', error);
    }
);
