Info:
This is documentation for Stream Chat React Native SDK v8, which is no longer actively maintained. For up-to-date documentation, see the latest version (v9).

useClientNotifications

useClientNotifications listens to client-side notifications and returns the notifications list.

Best Practices

  • Use this hook to centralize notification intake from the client.
  • Avoid duplicating notification state in multiple components.
  • Keep list rendering lightweight for frequent updates.
  • Filter or batch notifications if your UI can’t show all of them.
  • Clear notifications when they are acknowledged or acted upon.

Usage

const { notifications } = useClientNotifications();
