MessageDraft object

MessageDraft represents a message that has not been published yet.

MessageDraft has the following properties:

1class MessageDraft {
2    channel: Channel,
3    value: string,
4    quotedMessage?: Message,
5    config: MessageDraftConfig,
6    files?: FileList | File[] | SendFileParameters["file"][];
7}

Parameter	Description
channel Type: Channel	The channel the draft message is being created on.
value Type: string	Message that includes mentions.
quotedMessage Type: Message or undefined	Object added to a draft message when you quote another message.
config Type: MessageDraftConfig	Configuration of the message containing mentions - what is the user source (channel members or app's keyset users), whether the typing indicator is enabled, and what is the maximum number of user names mentioned in one message (the default value is 10 and max is 100).
files Type: FileList or File[] or SendFileParameters["file"][], or undefined	One or multiple files attached to the draft text message. They can take the form of a read-only files property of the HTML <input /> element (when a user has selected one or more files from their device), or through a drag-and-drop operation (FileList). Alternatively, that can be an array of file objects (File[]) or PubNub-specific `SendFileParameters["file"][].

The MessageDraftConfig type takes the following parameters:

1type MessageDraftConfig = {
2    userSuggestionSource: "channel" | "global";
3    isTypingIndicatorTriggered: boolean;
4    userLimit: number;
5    channelLimit: number;
6};
