Hiding Channels

Hiding a channel removes it from query channel requests for that user until a new message is added. Only channel members can hide a channel.

Hidden channels may still have unread messages. Consider marking the channel as read before hiding it.

You can optionally clear the message history for that user when hiding. When a new message is received, it will be the only message visible to that user.

Hide a Channel

require 'getstream_ruby'

Models = GetStream::Generated::Models

# Hide the channel until a new message is added
client.chat.hide_channel("messaging", "general", Models::HideChannelRequest.new(
  user_id: 'john'
))

# Show a previously hidden channel
client.chat.show_channel("messaging", "general", Models::ShowChannelRequest.new(
  user_id: 'john'
))
