v4.6.0 (Mar 16, 2023)

Features

Set your own Local Caching DB size

You can now control the size of your local cache. Starting from 64mb, decide how much you want to store (Default: 256mb).
Once the size limit is reached, the SDK will automatically remove messages and channels with pre-specified logic (clearOrder) so that you don't have to actively manage it.

• Added DB size related properties in LocalCacheConfig

const localCacheConfig: LocalCacheConfig = new LocalCacheConfig({
   maxSize: 256,
   clearOrder: CachedDataClearOrder.MESSAGE_COLLECTION_ACCESSED_AT,
});

• Added SendbirdErrorCode.DATABASE_ERROR
• Added getCachedDataSize() in SendBirdChat
• Added OpenChannelCreateParams.isEphemeral
• Fixed a bug where SDK reconnects internally in disconnected state after disconnectWebsocket() is called
• Fixed a bug to use MemoryStore when SDK is running in a browser that does not support indexedDB

v4.4.0 (Feb 24, 2023)

Features

Disconnect Websocket only

When you call sb.disconnect, it disconnects the WebSocket and clears local cache. You can think of it as logging out.

In some cases, you need to only disconnect the WebSocket. You can now do it by calling sb.disconnectWebSocket.
It only disconnects the WebSocket and preserves the local cache.

sb.disconnectWebSocket();

To connect again after disconnecting with disconnectWebSocket(),
use sb.connect().

const user = await sb.connect(userId: userId);

Added SendbirdChatParams.appStateToggleEnabled which can be used to optionally disable internal control of Websocket connection on document.visibilityState change

Changelog

v4.3.0 (Feb 01, 2023)

Features

Participant class in Open Channel

Participant is a new interface for User who joined Open Channel. It's optimized for scalability and contains much lighter information about the User than a Member in Group Channel.
Now clients can implement Open Channels easier in SDK with more built-in capabilities. You can compare how Member, Participant, and User are different here

• Participant holds essential information about the participant like below. They contain their muted status (is_muted) on top of basic User information

class Participant extends User {
  readonly isMuted: boolean;
}

• ParticipantListQuery.next() now returns Promise<Participant[]>
• For backward compatibility, the return type remains as Promise<User[]>, but the return value can be casted into Promise<Participant[]>

Changelog

Features

Pinned Message 📌

Pinned Message is released. You can now maintain a special set of messages (up to 10 per channel) that you want everyone in the channel to share. It can be anything from announcements, surveys, upcoming events, and any many more. Pin your messages and never miss them!
Stay tuned for updates as we are rolling out more exciting features and see below for exact specifications👇

Specification

• Pin when sending a message
  • UserMessageCreateParams.isPinnedMessage: boolean = false
  • FileMessageCreateParams.isPinnedMessage: boolean = false
• Pin existing message
  • GroupChannel.pinMessage(messageId: number): Promise<void>
• Unpin a message
  • GroupChannel.unpinMessage(messageId: number): Promise<void>
• Pinned messages
  • GroupChannel.lastPinnedMessage: BaseMessage = null
  • GroupChannel.pinnedMessageIds: number[] = []

We strongly recommend using Collections (Message, Channel) to implement Pinned Messages as it would automatically take care of numerous events out of the box when messages are created, updated, and deleted.

Improvements

• Improved stability
