ThreadContext

ThreadContext - just like any other React context - is used for dependency injection. What makes it different in this case is ThreadProvider.

ThreadProvider

Is a provider which wraps Channel component and takes Thread instance as a value. The Channel wrapper acts as a temporary measure to make Thread component compatible with the new architecture which relies on Thread instance. The reliance on channel is temporary and will become deprecated in the future.

Thread component newly prioritizes Thread instance if rendered under ThreadProvider otherwise falls back to accessing thread from Channel state.

Basic Usage

import { Thread, ThreadProvider } from 'stream-chat-react';

<ThreadProvider thread={/*...*/}>
  <Thread />
</ThreadProvider>;
