MessageComposerAPIContext

MessageComposerAPIContext is provided by Channel. If you are not familiar with the React Context API, see the React docs.

Best Practices

• Use this context only for editing/quoting state changes.
• Read editedMessage and quotedMessage from useMessageComposer for state.
• Clear edit/quote state promptly to avoid stale UI.
• Keep handlers stable to avoid re-renders in the input.
• Avoid using this context deep in the message list.

Basic Usage

Consume MessageComposerAPIContext in any child of Channel:

import { useMessageComposerAPIContext } from "stream-chat-react-native";

const { setEditingState, clearEditingState } = useMessageComposerAPIContext();

import { useMessageComposer } from "stream-chat-react-native";

const { editedMessage, quotedMessage } = useMessageComposer();
