useChannelActionItems

Builds channel action items (mute, archive, leave, delete, etc.) for swipe rows and action sheets.

Best Practices

• Use this hook as the source of truth for channel row actions.
• Prefer getChannelActionItems to customize ordering/visibility instead of rebuilding defaults.
• Keep custom action handlers async-safe and user-feedback friendly.
• Distinguish direct chats vs group channels when customizing labels.
• Keep destructive actions clearly separated from standard actions.

Usage

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

const actionItems = useChannelActionItems({
  channel,
  getChannelActionItems: ({ defaultItems }) =>
    defaultItems.filter((item) => item.id !== "archive"),
});
