How to create an instance of the FormMessage class:

TypeScript

let cardAction = new ButtonElement(
  "1",
  new APIAction("https://example.com/api", "POST"),
  "Click Me"
);

// Create a new instance of CardMessage

let cardMessage = new CardMessage(
  "receiverId",
  CometChat.RECEIVER_TYPE.USER,
  "This is a card",
  [cardAction]
);

Key Properties and Methods

Image Url

The setImageUrl() method allows to set the image URL for the card.

TypeScript

let cardMessage = new CardMessage(
  "receiverId",
  CometChat.RECEIVER_TYPE.USER,
  "This is a card",
  [cardAction]
);

cardMessage.setImageUrl("https://example.com/image.png");

Example

Below is an example that showcases the creation and manipulation of an instance of CardMessage:

TypeScript

// Create an instance of APIAction

let apiAction = new APIAction("https://example.com/api", "POST");

// Create instance of ButtonElement for card actions

let cardAction = new ButtonElement("1", apiAction, "Click Me");

// Create a new instance of CardMessage

let cardMessage = new CardMessage(
  "receiverId",
  CometChat.RECEIVER_TYPE.USER,
  "customType",
  "This is a card",
  [cardAction]
);

cardMessage.setImageUrl("https://example.com/image.png");

In this example, a new instance of CardMessage is created. The text, card actions and image URL are retrieved, updated, and retrieved again. Then a new CardMessage instance is made from a JSON object, and the text is retrieved and logged.
