Group Members

Group Members — CometChat documentation.

Overview

CometChatGroupMembers is a Component that displays all users added or invited to a group, granting them access to group discussions, shared content, and collaborative features. Group members can communicate in real-time via messaging, voice and video calls, and other activities. They can interact, share files, and join calls based on group permissions set by the administrator or owner.

  public groupObject!: CometChat.Group;
  ngOnInit(): void {
    CometChat.getGroup("guid").then((group: CometChat.Group) => {
      this.groupObject = group;
    });
  }
  constructor(private themeService:CometChatThemeService) {
    themeService.theme.palette.setMode("light")
    themeService.theme.palette.setPrimary({ light: "#6851D6", dark: "#6851D6" })
  }

  onLogin(UID?: any) {
    CometChatUIKit.login({ uid: UID }).then(
      (user) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
          window.location.reload();
        }, 1000);
      },
      (error) => {
        console.log("Login failed with exception:", { error });
      }
    );
  }
}

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 group members 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.

---

app.component.ts

import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-javascript';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import {  CometChatThemeService, CometChatUIKit } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-angular';
import { SelectionMode } from '@cometchat/uikit-resources';
import "@cometchat/uikit-elements";

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {

  public groupObject!: CometChat.Group;
  public selectionMode: SelectionMode = SelectionMode.multiple;
  public handleOnSelectGroupMembers = (groupMember: CometChat.GroupMember, selected: boolean) => {
    console.log("your custom on select actions",groupMember, selected);
  };
  ngOnInit(): void {
    CometChat.getGroup("guid").then((group: CometChat.Group) => {
      this.groupObject = group;
    });
  }
  constructor(private themeService:CometChatThemeService) {
    themeService.theme.palette.setMode("light")
    themeService.theme.palette.setPrimary({ light: "#6851D6", dark: "#6851D6" })
  }

  onLogin(UID?: any) {
    CometChatUIKit.login({ uid: UID }).then(
      (user) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
          window.location.reload();
        }, 1000);
      },
      (error) => {
        console.log("Login failed with exception:", { error });
      }
    );
  }

    [group]="groupObject"
    [selectionMode]="selectionMode"
    [onSelect]="handleOnSelectGroupMembers"
  ></cometchat-create-group>
</div>

2. onItemClick

The onItemClick event is activated when you click on the Group Members List item. 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.

app.component.ts

import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-javascript';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {

  public groupObject!: CometChat.Group;
  public handleOnItemClickGroupMembers = (user: CometChat.GroupMember) => {
    console.log("your custom on item click action", user);
  };
  ngOnInit(): void {
    CometChat.getGroup("guid").then((group: CometChat.Group) => {
      this.groupObject = group;
    });
  }
  constructor(private themeService:CometChatThemeService) {
    themeService.theme.palette.setMode("light")
    themeService.theme.palette.setPrimary({ light: "#6851D6", dark: "#6851D6" })

  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {

  public groupObject!: CometChat.Group;
  public handleOnEmpty = () =>{
    console.log("your custom on empty action");
  }
  ngOnInit(): void {
    CometChat.getGroup("guid").then((group: CometChat.Group) => {
      this.groupObject = group;
    });
  }
  constructor(private themeService:CometChatThemeService) {
    themeService.theme.palette.setMode("light")
    themeService.theme.palette.setPrimary({ light: "#6851D6", dark: "#6851D6" })

    [group]="groupObject"
    [onEmpty]="handleOnEmpty"
  ></cometchat-create-group>
</div>

6. onError

This action doesn’t change the behavior of the component but rather listens for any errors that occur in the Group Members component.

app.component.ts

import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-javascript';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import {  CometChatThemeService, CometChatUIKit } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-angular';

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. GroupMembersRequestBuilder

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

Methods	Type	Description
setLimit	number	sets the number of group members that can be fetched in a single request, suitable for pagination
setSearchKeyword	String	used for fetching group members matching the passed string
setScopes	Array<String>	used for fetching group members based on multiple scopes

Example

In the example below, we are applying a filter to the Group Members by setting the limit to two and setting the scope to show only admin and moderator.

app.component.ts

import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-javascript';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import {  CometChatThemeService, CometChatUIKit } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-angular';
import "@cometchat/uikit-elements";

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {

  public groupObject!: CometChat.Group;
  groupMemberRequestBuilder = new CometChat.GroupMembersRequestBuilder('guid').setLimit(2).setScopes(['admin', 'moderator'])

  ngOnInit(): void {
    CometChat.getGroup("guid").then((group: CometChat.Group) => {
      this.groupObject = group;
    });
  }
  constructor(private themeService:CometChatThemeService) {
    themeService.theme.palette.setMode("light")
    themeService.theme.palette.setPrimary({ light: "#6851D6", dark: "#6851D6" })
  }

  onLogin(UID?: any) {
    CometChatUIKit.login({ uid: UID }).then(
      (user) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
          window.location.reload();
        }, 1000);
      },
      (error) => {
        console.log("Login failed with exception:", { error });
      }
    );
  }
}

app.component.html

<div class="fullwidth">
  <cometchat-create-group
    [group]="groupObject"
    [groupMemberRequestBuilder]="groupMemberRequestBuilder"
  ></cometchat-create-group>
</div>

---

2. SearchRequestBuilder

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

Example

app.component.ts

import { CometChat } from '@cometchat/chat-sdk-javascript';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import {  CometChatThemeService, CometChatUIKit } from '@cometchat/chat-uikit-angular';
import "@cometchat/uikit-elements";

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {

  public groupObject!: CometChat.Group;
  searchRequestBuilder = new CometChat.GroupMembersRequestBuilder('guid').setLimit(2).setSearchKeyword('**')
  ngOnInit(): void {
    CometChat.getGroup("guid").then((group: CometChat.Group) => {
      this.groupObject = group;
    });
  }
  constructor(private themeService:CometChatThemeService) {
    themeService.theme.palette.setMode("light")
    themeService.theme.palette.setPrimary({ light: "#6851D6", dark: "#6851D6" })
  }

  onLogin(UID?: any) {
    CometChatUIKit.login({ uid: UID }).then(
      (user) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
          window.location.reload();
        }, 1000);
      },
      (error) => {
        console.log("Login failed with exception:", { error });
      }
    );
  }
}

app.component.html

<div class="fullwidth">
  <cometchat-create-group
    [group]="groupObject"
    [searchRequestBuilder]="searchRequestBuilder"
  ></cometchat-create-group>
</div>

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 Group Members component is as follows.

Event	Description
ccGroupMemberBanned	Triggers when the group member banned from the group successfully
ccGroupMemberKicked	Triggers when the group member kicked from the group successfully
ccGroupMemberScopeChanged	Triggers when the group member scope is changed in the group

TypeScript

import {CometChatGroupEvents} from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-angular";

this.ccGroupMemberBanned = CometChatGroupEvents.ccGroupMemberBanned.subscribe(
  (item: IGroupMemberKickedBanned) => {
        // Your Code
  }
);

this.ccGroupMemberKicked = CometChatGroupEvents.ccGroupMemberKicked.subscribe(
  (item: IGroupMemberKickedBanned) => {
        // Your Code
  }
);

this.ccGroupMemberScopeChanged = CometChatGroupEvents.ccGroupMemberScopeChanged.subscribe(
  (item: IGroupMemberScopeChanged) => {
        // Your Code
  }
);
