useCreateChatContext

Creates a memoized ChatContext value from the provided props. This prevents unnecessary re-renders of consumers by only updating the context when relevant values change.

Best Practices

Avoid calling this hook directly; the Chat component manages it internally.
Access the context value through useChatContext instead of using this hook.
Ensure all required ChatContextValue properties are provided to avoid runtime errors.
Keep the input values stable (e.g., avoid inline object creation) to maximize memoization benefits.

Usage

useCreateChatContext.ts

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

const chatContext = useCreateChatContext({
  appSettings,
  channel,
  client,
  connectionRecovering,
  enableOfflineSupport,
  isMessageAIGenerated,
  isOnline,
  mutedUsers,
  setActiveChannel,
});

This is an internal hook used by the Chat component to build the ChatContext value. You should not need to call this hook directly; use useChatContext to consume the context instead.

Parameters

The hook accepts a single object with the following properties matching ChatContextValue:

Name	Type	Required	Description
appSettings	`AppSettingsAPIResponse` \| `null`	Yes	Application settings returned from Stream.
channel	`Channel`	No	The currently active channel instance.
client	`StreamChat`	Yes	The Stream Chat client instance.
connectionRecovering	`boolean`	Yes	Whether the connection is currently recovering.
enableOfflineSupport	`boolean`	Yes	Whether offline support is enabled.
isMessageAIGenerated	`(message: MessageType) => boolean`	No	Function to determine if a message was AI-generated.
isOnline	`boolean` \| `null`	Yes	Whether the client currently has an active connection.
mutedUsers	`Mute[]`	Yes	List of muted users for the current user.
setActiveChannel	`(newChannel?: Channel) => void`	Yes	Callback to set the active channel.

Returns
