PollContext

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

PollContext must be used within Channel because it depends on values provided there.

Best Practices

• Use usePollContext inside Channel-scoped poll components only.
• Treat poll and message as read-only UI state.
• Avoid duplicating poll state in local component state.
• Handle missing or stale poll data gracefully.
• Keep poll UI logic lightweight to avoid list re-renders.

Basic Usage

Consume PollContext in any child of Channel:

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

const value = useContext(PollContext);

Alternatively, use the usePollContext hook.

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

const value = usePollContext();

Value

message

Message object.

poll *

An instance of the Poll class containing reactive state.

It is used by the underlying usePollContext, usePollStateStore and usePollState hooks to provide us with the reactive Poll state.
