Promise Rejection V4: Getting Unread counts in all channels

Sendbird Chat API/SDK JavaScript

Hello,

I currently I am using V4 but it seems the const count = await sb.groupChannel.getTotalUnreadMessageCount(); and const count = await sb.groupChannel.getTotalUnreadChannelCount(); are not usable requires params but it not stated in V4 documentation.

Hi @qatarzu12,

Welcome to the Sendbird Community.

I did some double checking on this issue and found that I can call getTotalUnreadChannelCount() without any issues as it does not take in any parameters.

However, getTotalUnreadMessageCount() does take in an instance of TotalUnreadMessageCountParams. Which looks like this:

{
  channelCustomTypesFilter?: string[];
  superChannelFilter?: SuperChannelFilter;
}

I’ll work to have our documentation corrected.

Thank you! Tyler. For fast reply that would helpful if it is included in docs.

@qatarzu12,

Just a quick note. In addition to the documentation changes, I spoke with our Engineering team and we are going to make the parameters for getTotalUnreadMessageCount() optional rather than mandatory. This way you’re not required to pass in an empty object.

Hi Tyler, yes please because now the parameter of channelCustomTypesFilter are required if we set an empty object or [‘’] the unread count is always zero.
