Filtering Messages by State

You can filter out the messages you do not wish to show in the chatroom by specifying the states you want to hide. Follow these steps:

1. Create an array named filterStateMessage.
2. Add the state values you wish to hide.
3. Pass this array while creating the instance of the lmChatClient.

Code Example:

import { ConversationState } from "@likeminds.community/chat-rn";
import { initiateLMClient } from "@likeminds.community/chat-rn-core";

// Define the conversation states to filter 
// Example Usage
const filterStateMessage = [
  ConversationState.MEMBER_JOINED_OPEN_CHATROOM,
  ConversationState.MEMBER_LEFT_OPEN_CHATROOM,
];

export const lmChatClient = initiateLMClient(filterStateMessage);
