Filter group channels by user IDs

Copy link

To filter group channels by user IDs, use userIdsExactFilter or userIdsIncludeFilter. Let's assume the ID of the current user is Harry and the user is a member of two group channels.

  • Channel A consists of Harry, John, and Jay.
  • Channel B consists of Harry, John, Jay, and Jin.
  • Channel C consists of Harry, Jay, and Jason.

The userIdsExactFilter returns a list of the current user's group channels containing exactly the queried user IDs. In case you specify only one user ID in the filter, the filter returns a list of the current user's one or more 1-to-1 group channels with the specified user.

class CustomViewController: ViewController {
    var query: GroupChannelListQuery?
    
    func createQuery() {
        self.query = GroupChannel.createMyGroupChannelListQuery { params in
            // The params object is the GroupChannelListQueryParams class.
            params.userIdsExactFilter = ["John", "Jay"]
        }
    }
    
    func loadNextPage() {
        self.query?.loadNextPage { channels, error in
            guard error == nil else {
                // Handle error.
                return
            }

            // Only Channel A is returned in a result list
            // through the channels parameter of the callback method.
        }
    }
}

A userIdsIncludeFilter filter returns a list of the current user's group channels including the queried user IDs partially and exactly. Two different results can be returned according to the value of the queryType parameter.

class CustomViewController: ViewController {
    var query: GroupChannelListQuery?
    
    func createQuery() {
        self.query = GroupChannel.createMyGroupChannelListQuery { params in
            // The params object is the GroupChannelListQueryParams class.
            // The value of queryType is .and.
            params.setUserIdsIncludeFilter(["John", "Jay"], queryType: .and)
        }
    }
    
    func loadNextPage() {
        self.query?.loadNextPage { channels, error in
            guard error == nil else {
                // Handle error.
                return
            }

            // Both Channel B and Channel C are returned.
            // because they have both John and Jay as members.
        }
    }
}

class CustomViewController: ViewController {
    var query: GroupChannelListQuery?
    
    func createQuery() {
        self.query = GroupChannel.createMyGroupChannelListQuery { params in
            // The params object is the GroupChannelListQueryParams class.
            // The queryType is .or.
            params.setUserIdsIncludeFilter(["John", "Jay"], queryType: .or)
        }
    }
    
    func loadNextPage() {
        self.query?.loadNextPage { channels, error in
            guard error == nil else {
                // Handle error.
                return
            }

            // All of Channel A, Channel B, and Channel C are returned
            // because each channel has either John or Jay as a member.
        }
    }
