Query all channels with unread messages by an specific user?

I would like to recover all the channels that have unread messages by a specific user. From the docs, I was only able to find the count of unread messages and the count channels with unread messages for the current user.

Solution

  • If you want get all the channels where currentUser is member and sort them by unread_counts desc:

    const result = await client.queryChannels(
            { members: { $in: [currentUser] } },
            { unread_count: -1 },
        );

    it is also possible to sort by has_unread: (in this case it doesn't matter the number of unread messages, any channel with unread messages weight the same for sorting)

    const result = await client.queryChannels(
            { members: { $in: [currentUser] } },
            { has_unread: -1, last_message_at: -1 },
        );
