useChannelActions

Creates imperative channel action handlers such as pin, archive, leave, and mute.

Best Practices

• Use these handlers directly in row actions and action sheets.
• Guard UI against repeated taps while async actions are pending.
• Use direct-chat specific actions (muteUser, blockUser) only when applicable.
• Keep channel lifecycle actions (leave, deleteChannel) behind confirmation UI.
• Handle optimistic UI updates separately from these network calls.

Usage

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

const actions = useChannelActions(channel);

await actions.muteChannel();
await actions.archive();

Parameters

Returns
