Feed views

When to use feed views

Feed groups let you define what activities should be included in the feed and the ranking to sort these activities.

By default all feeds in the given group will have the same settings. However, you might want to experiment with different selectors and rankings. Feed views let you do that by overriding the group’s default settings.

await serverClient.feeds.createFeedView({
  view_id: "<view id>",
  activity_selectors: [
    {
      type: "following",
    },
  ],
  ranking: { type: "time" },
});

package main

import (
    "context"
    "log"

    "github.com/GetStream/getstream-go/v3"
)

func main() {
    client, err := getstream.NewClient("<your_api_key>", "<your_api_secret>")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    ctx := context.Background()

    feedsClient := client.Feeds()

    // Create a custom feed view
    viewID := "<view id>"
    feedView, err := feedsClient.CreateFeedView(ctx, &getstream.CreateFeedViewRequest{
        ViewId: &viewID,
        ActivitySelectors: []getstream.ActivitySelector{
            {
                Type: getstream.PtrTo("following"),
            },
        },
        Ranking: &getstream.Ranking{
            Type: getstream.PtrTo("time"),
        },
    })
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    log.Printf("Feed view created: %s", *feedView.Data.ViewId)
}

let query = FeedQuery(
    group: "user",
    id: "john",
    view: "<id of a feed view>", // Override the default view id
)
let feed = client.feed(for: query)
try await feed.getOrCreate()

feed.getOrCreate({
  // Override the default view id
  view: "<id of a feed view>",
});

feed.getOrCreate({
  // Override the default view id
  view: "<id of a feed view>",
});

With custom feed views you can control

Activity selectors
Ranking
Aggregation

Updating feed views

It’s possible to update any custom or built-in feed views.

await serverClient.feeds.updateFeedView({
  view_id: "<view id to update?",
  // Fields to update
});

Deleting feed views

await serverClient.feeds.deleteFeedView({
  view_id: "view id to delete",
});
