useNotificationTarget

useNotificationTarget returns the panel that the calling component lives in. It inspects React context (ChannelContext, ThreadContext, ThreadsContext, ChannelsContext) and returns the matching panel string. Use it in custom notification UI when you need the panel name; the default snackbar routing uses NotificationTargetProvider for exact host targeting.

Usage

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

const panel = useNotificationTarget();
// → 'channel' | 'thread' | 'channel-list' | 'thread-list' | undefined

Returns

NotificationTargetPanel | undefined. The panel is resolved as follows, in order:

Condition	Panel
Mounted inside a `Channel` with `threadList` set on `ChannelContext`	`'thread'`
Mounted inside a `Thread` with a `threadInstance` on `ThreadContext`	`'thread'`
Mounted inside a `Channel` with a `channel` on `ChannelContext`	`'channel'`
Mounted inside a `ThreadList` with `ThreadsContext` present	`'thread-list'`
Mounted inside a `ChannelList` with `ChannelsContext` present	`'channel-list'`
None of the above	`undefined`

The first matching condition wins.

If you need to disambiguate between multiple instances of the same panel (e.g. two thread views on the same screen), wrap the subtree in NotificationTargetProvider with a stable hostId.
