List operators in group channel

Copy link

An operator list is a complete list of operators of a group channel. The operator list is created through GroupChannelOperatorsFragment.


You can start building an operator list screen by first creating a fragment. To do so, call the createGroupChannelOperatorsFragment method. Once an operator list fragment is built, you need to set up the navigation props and register the screen to a navigation library. Refer to the code below.

import React from 'react';

import { useGroupChannel } from '@sendbird/uikit-chat-hooks';
import { createGroupChannelOperatorsFragment, useSendbirdChat } from '@sendbird/uikit-react-native';

const GroupChannelOperatorsFragment = createGroupChannelOperatorsFragment();
const GroupChannelOperatorsScreen = ({ route: { params } }: any) => {
    const { sdk } = useSendbirdChat();
    const { channel } = useGroupChannel(sdk, params.channelUrl);
    if (!channel) return null;
    
    const navigateToBack = () => {};
    const navigateToGroupChannelRegisterOperator = () => {};
    
    return (
        <GroupChannelOperatorsFragment
            channel={channel}
            onPressHeaderLeft={navigateToBack}
            onPressHeaderRight={navigateToGroupChannelRegisterOperator}
        />
    );
};

List of properties

Copy link

The following table lists the properties of GroupChannelOperatorsFragment.

Properties
RequiredTypeDescription

channel

object

Specifies the group channel that the current user is a member of.

onPressHeaderLeft

function

Specifies the prop to execute a custom navigation operation when the button on the top left corner of the header component is selected. By default, the screen goes back to the previous screen.

onPressHeaderRight

function

Specifies the prop to execute a custom navigation operation when the button on the top right corner of the header component is selected. By default, the screen changes to the group channel register operator screen where you can add new operator to the channel.

OptionalTypeDescription

renderUser

function

Renders a customized view of the user profile.


Context

Copy link

To store and handle data that are used to build the operator list screen, Sendbird UIKit provides GroupChannelOperatorsContexts, which includes the Fragment context object.

type GroupChannelOperatorsContextsType = {
    Fragment: React.Context<{
        headerTitle: string;
        channel: Sendbird.GroupChannel;
    }>;
};

Fragment

Copy link

To retrieve data from the Chat SDK on the current user's operator list screen, you need to call the useContext hook and pass GroupChannelOperatorsContexts.Fragment as a parameter. The data is then used to render the operator list module and its components.

const Component = () => {
    const {
        headerTitle,
        channel,
    } = useContext(GroupChannelOperatorsContexts.Fragment);
};

Module components

Copy link

An operator list screen is composed of five module components: header, list, loading status, loading error, and empty status. These components make up the GroupChannelOperatorsModule and are used to create and display the UI of the screen.

Header

Copy link

The header component displays the title of the group channel, a button on the top left corner, and another button on the top right corner. By default, the left button allows you to go back to the previous screen and when selected, the onPressHeaderLeft navigation prop is called. When the right button is selected, onPressHeaderRight is called and the group channel settings screen appears.

List of properties

Copy link

The following table lists the properties of GroupChannelOperatorsModule.Header.

Property nameTypeDescription

onPressHeaderLeft

function

Specifies the prop to execute a custom navigation operation when the button on the top left corner of the header component is selected. By default, the screen goes back to the previous screen.

onPressHeaderRight

function

Specifies the prop to execute a custom navigation operation when the button on the top right corner of the header component is selected. By default, the screen changes to the group channel register operator screen where you can add new operator to the channel.

The list component shows a list of profile images and names of operators of the channel.

List of properties

Copy link

The following table lists the properties of GroupChannelOperatorsModule.List.

Property nameTypeDescription

operators

array of objects

Specifies a list of operators.

onLoadNext

function

Specifies the prop to execute custom operations when loading more user list items.

renderUser

function

Renders a customized view of the user profile.

ListEmptyComponent

ReactElement

Renders a customized view of the empty user list.

StatusLoading

Copy link

The StatusLoading component lets the user know if the list is loading.

StatusEmpty

Copy link

The StatusEmpty component lets the user know if the list is empty.

StatusError

Copy link

The StatusError component lets the user know if the list fetching has failed.


Customization

Copy link

In the list operators in group channel key function, you can customize the default GroupChannelOperatorsFragment to change various elements of the screen such as the module and its components. See the code below on how to replace the default header component with a custom header component in GroupChannelOperatorsFragment as an example.

Note: To learn more about how to customize a fragment, go to the Fragment page.

import { Text } from 'react-native';
const GroupChannelOperatorsFragment = createGroupChannelOperatorsFragment({
  Header: () => <Text>{'Custom Header'}</Text>,
  List: () => <Text>{'Custom List'}</Text>,
  StatusLoading: () => <Text>{'Custom Loading'}</Text>,
  StatusEmpty: () => <Text>{'Custom Empty'}</Text>,
  StatusError: () => <Text>{'Custom Error'}</Text>,
});
const GroupChannelOperatorsScreen = ({ route: { params } }: any) => {
    const { sdk } = useSendbirdChat();
    const { channel } = useGroupChannel(sdk, params.channelUrl);
    if (!channel) return null;
    
    const navigateToBack = () => {};
    const navigateToGroupChannelRegisterOperator = () => {};
    
    return (
        <GroupChannelOperatorsFragment
            channel={channel}
            onPressHeaderLeft={navigateToBack}
            onPressHeaderRight={navigateToGroupChannelRegisterOperator}
        />
    );
};
