RESTChatClientService
The ChatClient service connects the user to the Stream chat.
Type parameters
| Name | Type |
|---|---|
T | extends DefaultStreamChatGenerics = DefaultStreamChatGenerics |
Properties
appSettings$
appSettings$: Observable<undefined | AppSettings>
Emits the current application settings. Since getting the application settings is an expensive API call and we don’t always need the result, this is not initialized by default, you need to call getApplicationSettings to load them.

projects/stream-chat-angular/src/lib/chat-client.service.ts:49
chatClient
chatClient: StreamChat<T>
The StreamChat client instance. In general you shouldn’t need to access the client, but it’s there if you want to use it.

connectionState$: Observable<"offline" | "online">

events$
events$: Observable<ClientEvent<T>>
Emits ClientEvent events. The platform documentation covers the list of client, user presence and notification events.
:::important
For performance reasons this Observable operates outside of the Angular change detection zone. If you subscribe to it, you need to manually reenter Angular’s change detection zone, our Change detection guide explains this in detail.
