MessageActionsBoxComponent

The MessageActionsBox component displays a list of message actions (i.e edit), that can be opened or closed. You can find the list of the supported actions in the message interaction guide.

Example 1 - example message actions with the message component:

Basic usage​

A typical use case for the MessageActionsBox component would be to use in your custom components that will completely override the message component.

@Component({
  selector: "app-custom-message",
  template: `
    <stream-message-actions-box
      [isOpen]="isActionBoxOpen"
      [isMine]="isMessageSentByCurrentUser"
    ></stream-message-actions-box>
    <!-- Other parts of the custom message component -->
  `,
})
export class CustomMessageComponent {
  @Input() message: StreamMessage;
  isActionBoxOpen: boolean;
  isMessageSentByCurrentUser: boolean;
}

Customization​

  • You can provide your own message actions box component (or just a template for the items) by the CustomTemplatesService.
  • You can extend the built-in actions with custom actions, for more info see the MessageActionsService
  • You can also provide a custom event handler method to be called when the message actions button is clicked, for more info see the MessageActionsService
