ThreadListItemContext

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

ThreadListItemContext must be used within ThreadList because it depends on ThreadsContext.

Best Practices

• Use useThreadListItemContext inside thread list items only.
• Keep per-item rendering lightweight to preserve scroll performance.
• Use dateString for consistent timestamps.
• Handle ownUnreadMessageCount as a badge, not a control.
• Avoid extra API calls; use the provided thread and parentMessage.

Basic Usage

Consume ThreadListItemContext in any child of ThreadList:

import { useContext } from "react";
import { ThreadListItemContext } from "stream-chat-react-native";

const value = useContext(ThreadListItemContext);

Alternatively, use the useThreadListItemContext hook.

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

const value = useThreadListItemContext();
