useChannelTypingState

Tracks users currently typing in a channel for preview rendering.

Best Practices

Prefer memoized row components when displaying typing users.
Handle zero typers as the default state.

const TypingPreview = ({ channel }: { channel: Channel }) => {
  const { usersTyping } = useChannelTypingState({ channel });

  if (!usersTyping.length) return null;
  return (
    <Text>{`${usersTyping[0].name ?? usersTyping[0].id} is typing...`}</Text>
  );
};
