useChannelMembershipState

Reads channel.state.membership reactively for channel-list UI decisions.

Best Practices

  • Use this hook to drive membership-specific UI (pinned, archived, etc.).
  • Treat the return value as read-only state from the channel store.
  • Handle undefined when channel is unavailable.
  • Keep derived booleans memoized in large list rows.
  • Avoid duplicating membership state in local component state.

Usage

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

const membership = useChannelMembershipState(channel);
const isArchived = Boolean(membership?.archived_at);

Parameters

Name Type Required Description
channel Channel No Channel whose membership is read.

Returns

Type Description
ChannelMemberResponse | undefined Membership data for the current user.
