Notifications

This page lists every notification that stream-chat and stream-chat-react publish, by type. Match on type to translate a notification, filter it, or show it somewhere of your own. How notifications are published and what they carry is on Publishing notifications. How the React components show them is on Notifications UI.

Types follow the pattern domain:entity:operation:result, explained in Notification types. A notification's origin.emitter names the object or component that published it.

Panel tags

A component publishes its notifications tagged with the panel it sits in, such as target:channel, and with target:modal while a dialog is open. <ChannelList/> publishes to target:channel-list and <ThreadList/> to target:thread-list, wherever they sit. The search results and useMessageAlsoSentInChannelNavigation publish without a panel tag. The connection notification is tagged system instead. Routing notifications explains where each tag shows.
