Delete messages

Delete messages from your own view in a community subchannel.

Delete messages (for yourself only)

Remove messages from your own view only. Other participants still see the messages:

TypeScript

import { CommunitySubChannel, BaseChannel, Message } from '@nexconn/chat';

const channel = new CommunitySubChannel('<communityId>', '<subChannelId>');

// First retrieve the message objects you want to delete
const query = BaseChannel.createMessagesQuery({
  channelIdentifier: channel.identifier,
  startTime: Date.now(),
  pageSize: 20,
  isAscending: false,
});
const { code, data: page } = await query.loadNextPage();

if (code === 0 && page.data.length > 0) {
  const { code: deleteCode } = await channel.deleteMessagesForMe([page.data[0]]);
  if (deleteCode === 0) {
    console.log('Message deleted for self');
  }
}

Delete messages by timestamp

Delete all messages before a given timestamp from your own view only:

TypeScript

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

const channel = new CommunitySubChannel('<communityId>', '<subChannelId>');
const { code } = await channel.deleteMessagesForMeByTimestamp({ timestamp: Date.now() });
if (code === 0) {
  console.log('Messages cleared');
}

warning

• deleteMessagesForMe only removes the message from the current user's view.
• deleteMessagesForMeByTimestamp clears messages before the specified timestamp only for the current user.
• To remove a specific message for all participants, use Delete a message (recall) instead.
