Update a message

A user can update any of their own text and file messages sent using UserMessageUpdateParams and FileMessageUpdateParams. An error is returned if a user attempts to update another user's messages. In addition, channel operators can update any messages sent in a channel.

User message

JavaScriptTypeScript

const params = {
    message: NEW_TEXT_MESSAGE,
    customType: NEW_CUSTOM_TYPE,
    data: NEW_DATA,
};
const updatedMessage = await channel.updateUserMessage(MESSAGE_ID, params);

File message

JavaScriptTypeScript

const params = {
    customType: NEW_CUSTOM_TYPE,
};
const updatedMessage = await channel.updateFileMessage(MESSAGE_ID, params);

If a message is updated, the onMessageUpdated() method in the channel event handler is invoked on all channel participants' devices including the one that updated the message.

Open channel

JavaScriptTypeScript

const channelHandler = new OpenChannelHandler({
    onMessageUpdated: (channel, message) => {
        // ...
    }
});

sb.openChannel.addOpenChannelHandler(UNIQUE_HANDLER_ID, channelHandler);

Group channel

JavaScriptTypeScript

const channelHandler = new GroupChannelHandler({
    onMessageUpdated: (channel, message) => {
        // ...
    },
});

sb.groupChannel.addGroupChannelHandler(UNIQUE_HANDLER_ID, channelHandler);
