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. onJoinClick

The onJoinClick action is activated when you click the join Group button. This returns the join groups.

You can override this action using the following code snippet.

App.tsx

import { CometChat } from "@cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native";
import { CometChatJoinProtectedGroup } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native";

function App(): React.JSX.Element {
  const [group, setGroup] = useState<CometChat.Group | undefined>(undefined);

  const getGroup = async () => {
    const group = await CometChat.getGroup("protected-group-id");
    setGroup(group);
  };

  useEffect(() => {
    //login
    getGroup();
  });

  const onJoinClickHandler = ({
    group,
    password,
  }: {
    group: CometChat.Group;
    password: string;
  }) => {
    //code
  };

  return (
    <>
      {group && (
        <CometChatJoinProtectedGroup
          group={group}
          onJoinClick={onJoinClickHandler}
        ></CometChatJoinProtectedGroup>
      )}
    </>
  );
}
