The closeAt property
Copy link
When integrating polls in your application, managing the closeAt
property is crucial for a smooth user experience. Here are guidelines for handling this property effectively:
1. Message list (Channel view)
Copy link
- Closed polls: When rendering a list of messages, check if the poll's
closeAt
time is in the past compared to the current time. If it is, display the poll using a "closed" UI state. Note that differences between device and server time might affect this comparison.
2. Real-time updates in channels
Copy link
- Active channel scenario: If a user is already in a chanel and remains in a channel past the
closeAt
time, implement a real-time timer to checkcloseAt
against the current time and update the UI accordingly.
3. Re-entering a channel
Copy link
- UI update on re-entry: Make sure the UI updates correctly to show the poll's closed state if
closeAt
has passed while the user was away in another view.
4. User interactions with closed polls
Copy link
- Error handling: Prevent users from interacting with closed polls by updating the UI and handling errors appropriately if they attempt to vote after
closeAt
.
5. Standalone poll screens
Copy link
- Consistent logic: Apply the same real-time checks and UI updates in standalone poll views as in message lists.
