Sample code

The code samples in Swift Chat SDK focus on asynchronous code execution.

You can also write synchronous code as the parameters are shared between the async and sync methods but we don't provide usage examples of such.

Get message updates

Receive real-time updates when messages or reactions change with onUpdated(). You can also use message.stream.updates() for an AsyncStream-based approach.

For monitoring multiple messages at once, streamUpdatesOn() remains available.

Deprecation

streamUpdates() is deprecated. Use onUpdated() (closure-based) or message.stream.updates() (AsyncStream-based) instead.

Method signature

• onUpdated() — closure called when the message changes

  1message.onUpdated(
  2    callback: @escaping (MessageImpl) -> Void
  3) -> AutoCloseable

• streamUpdatesOn() (static) — monitors multiple messages

  1MessageImpl.streamUpdatesOn(
  2    messages: [MessageImpl]
  3) -> AsyncStream<[MessageImpl]>

Input

* required

Parameter	Description
callback (in onUpdated) * Type: (MessageImpl) -> Void Default: n/a	Closure called with the updated message whenever it changes (edits, reactions, etc.).
messages (in streamUpdatesOn) * Type: [MessageImpl] Default: n/a	A collection of MessageImpl objects for which you want to get updates on changed messages or message reactions.

Output

Parameter	Description
AutoCloseable	An object you must retain. When released or closed, the listener stops.
