    Methods

    • Internal

      Fetch participants and messages of the conversation. This method needs to be called during conversation initialization to catch broken conversations (broken conversations are conversations that have essential Sync entities missing, i.e. the conversation document, the messages list or the participant map). In case of this conversation being broken, the method will throw an exception that will be caught and handled gracefully.

    • Internal

      Set conversation status.

      Parameters

      Returns void

    • Internal

      Load and subscribe to this conversation and do not subscribe to its participants and messages. This or _subscribeStreams will need to be called before any events in the conversation will fire.

      Returns Promise<SyncDocument>

    • Internal

      Load the attributes of this conversation and instantiate its participants and messages. This or _subscribe will need to be called before any events on the conversation will fire. This will need to be called before any events on participants or messages will fire

      v6.0.0

    • Get the custom attributes of this Conversation.

      Returns Promise<JSONValue>

    • Returns the current max listener value for the EventEmitter which is either set by emitter.setMaxListeners(n) or defaults to events.defaultMaxListeners.

      Returns number

      v1.0.0

    • Get recipients of all messages in the conversation.

      Parameters

      • Optionaloptions: PaginatorOptions

        Optional configuration, set pageSize to request a specific pagination page size. Page size specifies a number of messages to include in a single batch. Each message may include multiple recipients.

      Returns Promise<Paginator<RecipientDescriptor>>

    • Returns messages from the conversation using the paginator interface.

      Parameters

      • OptionalpageSize: number

        Number of messages to return in a single chunk. Default is 30.

      • Optionalanchor: number

        Index of the newest message to fetch. Default is from the end.

      Returns Promise<Paginator<Message>>

      A page of messages.

    • Get the total message count in the conversation.

      This method is semi-realtime. This means that this data will be eventually correct, but will also be possibly incorrect for a few seconds. The Conversations system does not provide real time events for counter values changes.

      This is useful for any UI badges, but it is not recommended to build any core application logic based on these counters being accurate in real time.

      Returns Promise<number>

    • Get a participant by its identity.

      Parameters

      • Optionalidentity: string | null

        Participant identity.

      Returns Promise<ConversationParticipant | null>

    • Get conversation participants count.

      This method is semi-realtime. This means that this data will be eventually correct, but will also be possibly incorrect for a few seconds. The Conversations system does not provide real time events for counter values changes.

      This is useful for any UI badges, but it is not recommended to build any core application logic based on these counters being accurate in real time.

      Returns Promise<number>

    • Get count of unread messages for the user if they are a participant of this conversation. Rejects if the user is not a participant of the conversation.

      Use this method to obtain the number of unread messages together with Conversation.updateLastReadMessageIndex instead of relying on the message indices which may have gaps. See Message.index for details.

      This method is semi-realtime. This means that this data will be eventually correct, but it will also be possibly incorrect for a few seconds. The Conversations system does not provide real time events for counter values changes.

      This is useful for any UI badges, but it is not recommended to build any core application logic based on these counters being accurate in real time.

      If the read horizon is not set, this function will return null. This could mean that all messages in the conversation are unread, or that the read horizon system is not being used. How to interpret this null value is up to the customer application.

      Returns Promise<number | null>

      Number of unread messages based on the current read horizon set for the user or null if the read horizon is not set.

    • Returns the number of listeners listening for the event named eventName. If listener is provided, it will return how many times the listener is found in the list of the listeners of the event.

      Type Parameters

      • E extends string | symbol

      Parameters

      • eventName: string | symbol

        The name of the event being listened for

      • Optionallistener: (...args: any[]) => void

        The event handler function

      Returns number

      v3.2.0

    • Returns a copy of the array of listeners for the event named eventName.

      server.on('connection', (stream) => {
      console.log('someone connected!');
      });
      console.log(util.inspect(server.listeners('connection')));
      // Prints: [ [Function] ]

      Type Parameters

      • E extends string | symbol

      Parameters

      • eventName: string | symbol

      Returns ((...args: any[]) => void)[]

      v0.1.26

    • Alias for emitter.removeListener().

      Type Parameters

      • E extends keyof ConversationEvents

      Parameters

      • event: E
      • listener: ConversationEvents[E]

      Returns this

      v10.0.0

    • Adds the listener function to the end of the listeners array for the event named eventName. No checks are made to see if the listener has already been added. Multiple calls passing the same combination of eventName and listener will result in the listener being added, and called, multiple times.

      server.on('connection', (stream) => {
      console.log('someone connected!');
      });

      Returns a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.

      By default, event listeners are invoked in the order they are added. The emitter.prependListener() method can be used as an alternative to add the event listener to the beginning of the listeners array.

      import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events';
      const myEE = new EventEmitter();
      myEE.on('foo', () => console.log('a'));
      myEE.prependListener('foo', () => console.log('b'));
      myEE.emit('foo');
      // Prints:
      // b
      // a

      Type Parameters

      • E extends keyof ConversationEvents

      Parameters

      • event: E
      • listener: ConversationEvents[E]

        The callback function

      Returns this

      v0.1.101

    • Adds a one-time listener function for the event named eventName. The next time eventName is triggered, this listener is removed and then invoked.

      server.once('connection', (stream) => {
      console.log('Ah, we have our first user!');
      });

      Returns a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.

      By default, event listeners are invoked in the order they are added. The emitter.prependOnceListener() method can be used as an alternative to add the event listener to the beginning of the listeners array.

      import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events';
      const myEE = new EventEmitter();
      myEE.once('foo', () => console.log('a'));
      myEE.prependOnceListener('foo', () => console.log('b'));
      myEE.emit('foo');
      // Prints:
      // b
      // a

      v6.0.0

    • Adds a one-time listener function for the event named eventName to the beginning of the listeners array. The next time eventName is triggered, this listener is removed, and then invoked.

      server.prependOnceListener('connection', (stream) => {
      console.log('Ah, we have our first user!');
      });

      Returns a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.

      v6.0.0

    • Returns a copy of the array of listeners for the event named eventName, including any wrappers (such as those created by .once()).

      import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events';
      const emitter = new EventEmitter();
      emitter.once('log', () => console.log('log once'));

      // Returns a new Array with a function `onceWrapper` which has a property
      // `listener` which contains the original listener bound above
      const listeners = emitter.rawListeners('log');
      const logFnWrapper = listeners[0];

      // Logs "log once" to the console and does not unbind the `once` event
      logFnWrapper.listener();

      // Logs "log once" to the console and removes the listener
      logFnWrapper();

      emitter.on('log', () => console.log('log persistently'));
      // Will return a new Array with a single function bound by `.on()` above
      const newListeners = emitter.rawListeners('log');

      // Logs "log persistently" twice
      newListeners[0]();
      emitter.emit('log');

      Type Parameters

      • E extends string | symbol

      Parameters

      • eventName: string | symbol

      Returns ((...args: any[]) => void)[]

      v9.4.0

    • Removes all listeners, or those of the specified eventName.

      It is bad practice to remove listeners added elsewhere in the code, particularly when the EventEmitter instance was created by some other component or module (e.g. sockets or file streams).

      Returns a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.

      Type Parameters

      • E extends string | symbol

      Parameters

      • OptionaleventName: string | symbol

      Returns this

      v0.1.26

    • Removes the specified listener from the listener array for the event named eventName.

      const callback = (stream) => {
      console.log('someone connected!');
      };
      server.on('connection', callback);
      // ...
      server.removeListener('connection', callback);

      removeListener() will remove, at most, one instance of a listener from the listener array. If any single listener has been added multiple times to the listener array for the specified eventName, then removeListener() must be called multiple times to remove each instance.

      Once an event is emitted, all listeners attached to it at the time of emitting are called in order. This implies that any removeListener() or removeAllListeners() calls after emitting and before the last listener finishes execution will not remove them from emit() in progress. Subsequent events behave as expected.

      import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events';
      class MyEmitter extends EventEmitter {}
      const myEmitter = new MyEmitter();

      const callbackA = () => {
      console.log('A');
      myEmitter.removeListener('event', callbackB);
      };

      const callbackB = () => {
      console.log('B');
      };

      myEmitter.on('event', callbackA);

      myEmitter.on('event', callbackB);

      // callbackA removes listener callbackB but it will still be called.
      // Internal listener array at time of emit [callbackA, callbackB]
      myEmitter.emit('event');
      // Prints:
      // A
      // B

      // callbackB is now removed.
      // Internal listener array [callbackA]
      myEmitter.emit('event');
      // Prints:
      // A

      Because listeners are managed using an internal array, calling this will change the position indexes of any listener registered after the listener being removed. This will not impact the order in which listeners are called, but it means that any copies of the listener array as returned by the emitter.listeners() method will need to be recreated.

      When a single function has been added as a handler multiple times for a single event (as in the example below), removeListener() will remove the most recently added instance. In the example the once('ping') listener is removed:

      import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events';
      const ee = new EventEmitter();

      function pong() {
      console.log('pong');
      }

      ee.on('ping', pong);
      ee.once('ping', pong);
      ee.removeListener('ping', pong);

      ee.emit('ping');
      ee.emit('ping');

      Returns a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.

      Type Parameters

      • E extends keyof ConversationEvents

      Parameters

      • event: E
      • listener: ConversationEvents[E]

      Returns this

      v0.1.26

    • Remove a participant from the conversation. When a string is passed as the argument, it will assume that the string is an identity or SID.

      Parameters

      Returns Promise<void>

    • Send a message to the conversation.

      Parameters

      • message: string | FormData | SendMediaOptions | null

        Message body for the text message, FormData or SendMediaOptions for media content. Sending FormData is supported only with the browser engine.

      • OptionalmessageAttributes: JSONValue

        Attributes for the message.

      • OptionalemailOptions: SendEmailOptions

        Email options for the message.

      Returns Promise<number>

      Index of the new message.

    • Set last read message index of the conversation to the index of the last known message.

      Returns Promise<number>

      Resulting unread messages count in the conversation.

    • Set all messages in the conversation unread.

      Returns Promise<number>

      New count of unread messages after this update.

    • By default EventEmitters will print a warning if more than 10 listeners are added for a particular event. This is a useful default that helps finding memory leaks. The emitter.setMaxListeners() method allows the limit to be modified for this specific EventEmitter instance. The value can be set to Infinity (or 0) to indicate an unlimited number of listeners.

      Returns a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.

      Parameters

      • n: number

      Returns this

      v0.3.5

    • Set user notification level for this conversation.

      Parameters

      Returns Promise<void>

    • Send a notification to the server indicating that this client is currently typing in this conversation. Typing ended notification is sent after a while automatically, but by calling this method again you ensure that typing ended is not received.

      Returns Promise<void>

    • Update the attributes of the conversation.

      Parameters

      • attributes: JSONValue

        New attributes.

      Returns Promise<TwilioConversation>

    • Update the friendly name of the conversation.

      Parameters

      • friendlyName: string

        New friendly name.

      Returns Promise<TwilioConversation>

    • Set the last read message index to the current read horizon.

      Parameters

      Returns Promise<number>

      New count of unread messages after this update.

    • Update the unique name of the conversation.

      Parameters

      • uniqueName: string | null

        New unique name for the conversation. Setting unique name to null removes it.

      Returns Promise<TwilioConversation>
