Typing indicator

Display a typing indicator when the other user is composing a message. This provides real-time feedback in direct channels.

Send typing status

Notify the other user that the current user is typing:

TypeScript

import { DirectChannel } from '@nexconn/chat';

const channel = new DirectChannel('<target-user-id>');
await channel.sendTypingStatus('RC:TxtMsg');

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
typingMessageType	string	Yes	The message type being composed (e.g., 'RC:TxtMsg' for text)

Listen for typing status

Register a ChannelHandler to detect when the other user starts typing:

TypeScript

import { NCEngine, ChannelHandler } from '@nexconn/chat';

NCEngine.addChannelHandler('typing-handler', new ChannelHandler({
  onTypingStatusChanged({ channelIdentifier, userTypingStatus }) {
    console.log('User is typing in channel:', channelIdentifier, userTypingStatus);
  },
}));

Remove the handler when it is no longer needed:

TypeScript

NCEngine.removeChannelHandler('typing-handler');

Typing status event data (ChannelUserTypingStatusInfo)

Field	Type	Description
userId	string	The ID of the user who is typing
typingMessageType	string	The message type being composed
sentTime	number	Timestamp (ms) when the typing status was sent

tip

• The typing indicator is typically used in direct channels. It is not commonly used in group or community channels.
• The typing status is a transient signal — it does not persist. Your app should clear the typing indicator after a short timeout (e.g., 6 seconds) if no further typing status is received.
