Add or remove a user event handler

To receive information about events related to users connected to the Sendbird server, add a user event handler with its UNIQUE_HANDLER_ID by calling sb.addUserEventHandler().

If you want to stay informed of changes related to users and notify the changes to different client apps, define and register multiple channel event handlers using the UNIQUE_HANDLER_ID.

The following code shows the supported event callback with its parameters and how to add a user event handler to the unique SendbirdChat instance.

Note: The countByCustomTypes attribute is turned off by default. Contact us if you wish to use this feature.

const userEventHandler = new UserEventHandler({
  onTotalUnreadMessageCountChanged: (unreadMessageCount) => {},
});

sb.addUserEventHandler(UNIQUE_HANDLER_ID, userEventHandler);

The following code shows how to remove the user event handler.

sb.removeUserEventHandler(UNIQUE_HANDLER_ID);
