useChannelMembersState

Subscribes to and returns channel.state.members for a channel.

Best Practices

• Use this hook for member-aware preview UI such as direct-chat detection.
• Expect updates from member and user presence events.
• Avoid expensive transforms on every render for large channels.
• Handle optional return values when channel may be undefined.
• Prefer derived selectors for specific data when possible.

Usage

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

const members = useChannelMembersState(channel);
const memberCount = Object.keys(members ?? {}).length;
