Summary

• How to hide thread messages in the message list (Slack style)?

Customer request

• How can I expose the thread message information in the message, but not expose the thread message in the message list? (like Slack)

Guide & Snippet

• The logic below is a custom snippet with a simple example.

• Create CustomGroupChannelViewController

class CustomGroupChannelViewController: SBUGroupChannelViewController {
    override func createViewModel(
        channel: BaseChannel? = nil,
        channelURL: String? = nil,
        messageListParams: MessageListParams? = nil,
        startingPoint: Int64? = .max,
        showIndicator: Bool = true,
        displaysLocalCachedListFirst: Bool = false
    ) {
        let customMessageListParams = MessageListParams()
        customMessageListParams.replyType = .onlyReplyToChannel
        super.createViewModel(
            channel: channel,
            channelURL: channelURL,
            messageListParams: customMessageListParams,
            startingPoint: startingPoint,
            showIndicator: showIndicator,
            displaysLocalCachedListFirst: displaysLocalCachedListFirst
        )
    }
}

• After calling the SendbirdUIKit init function, set the channel's replyType to the .thread type

SendbirdUI.config.groupChannel.channel.replyType = .thread

• Before using the custom class, please set this in SBUViewControllerSet.

SBUViewControllerSet.GroupChannelViewController = CustomGroupChannelViewController.self

• Change the isReplyToChannel option of messageParams used in message send to false to avoid exposing the channel when sending messages.
• Just as you set up the custom class, set it up before using the send function

        SBUGlobalCustomParams.userMessageParamsSendBuilder = { params in
            params?.isReplyToChannel = false
        }
        SBUGlobalCustomParams.fileMessageParamsSendBuilder = { params in
            params?.isReplyToChannel = false
        }
        SBUGlobalCustomParams.voiceFileMessageParamsSendBuilder = { params in
            params?.isReplyToChannel = false
        }
        SBUGlobalCustomParams.multipleFilesMessageParamsSendBuilder = { params in
            params?.isReplyToChannel = false
        }

Result

Default style	Slack style
