Listening to Events

EventsController

EventsController allows you to subscribe to chat events. You can receive all events or only to events for a specific channels.

Events Controller Delegate

Classes that conform to the EventsControllerDelegate protocol can be used to receive events from the controller.

func eventsController(_ controller: EventsController, didReceiveEvent event: Event)

Client Events

let eventsController: EventsController = client.eventsController()

Channel Events

let eventsController: EventsController = channel.eventsController()

Example: Local Notifications

In this example we create a custom ChatChannelListVC that shows a local notification every time a new message event is received.

class DemoChannelListVC: ChatChannelListVC, EventsControllerDelegate {  lazy var eventsController: EventsController = controller.client.eventsController()   override func viewDidLoad() {  super.viewDidLoad()  eventsController.delegate = self  }   func eventsController(_: EventsController, didReceiveEvent event: Event) {  guard let event = event as? MessageNewEvent else { return }   let message = event.message   let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()  content.title = "\(message.author.name ?? message.author.id) @ \(event.channel.name ?? event.channel.cid.id)"  content.body = message.text   let request = UNNotificationRequest(  identifier: message.id,  content: content,  trigger: nil  )   UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(request) { error in  if let error = error {  log.error("Error when showing local notification: \(error)")  }  }  } }
