Add partecipants to a Conversation

[andreaparadigma]

Is there a way to add/remove a partecipant or change its permission?

In JS SDK I see this conversation.setParticipant(me); but not found anything in Dart SDK

When you call session.getConversation ( https://talkjs.com/docs/Reference/Flutter_SDK/Session/#Session__getConversation ), you pass it an object with a property called participants, and there you can add/remove participants and set the corresponding permissions.

You then pass the returned Conversation object as the conversation property to the ChatBox widget.

@bugnano the session.getConversation always return an object with zero partecipants.

Example:

• I have a conversation with user1 and user2 with conversation id 123
• I use conversation = session.getConversation(123) and set conversation property to the ChatBox widget and is working, but the conversation.participants.length is empty despite the fact that the ChatBox correctly shows the two users.
• So I can't remove user2, even if I just pass user1 to getConversation. The ChatBox remain the same.
• Instead if I pass a third user3 to partecipants this is added in the ChatBox.

Currently it seems that we can only add users, but not remove them. It is probably a bug for which partecipants always remain empty

You are correct. There is no way to remove a participant via the Flutter SDK at the moment. If you need to remove a participant, you should use the REST API ( https://talkjs.com/docs/Reference/REST_API/Participation/#leave-conversation )

@bugnano in order to remove a participant, I need to know the participants in the conversation.
Should I use the REST API in this case as well? https://talkjs.com/docs/Reference/REST_API/Conversations/#a-single-conversation

[bugnano]

Yes, that's correct
