Recall a Message

Feature Description

This feature is used to recall a one-to-one or group message. After the message is recalled successfully, the value of its isRevoked attribute will be true.
Note
1. The time limit for message recall is two minutes by default. You can log in to the Chat Console to change this limit.
2. Call the getMessageList API to pull a recalled message from roaming one-to-one or group messages. The receiver needs to properly display the recalled message based on the isRevoked attribute of the message object, for example, as "The other party recalled a message" in a one-to-one conversation or as "XXX recalled a message" in a group conversation.

promise.then(function(imResponse) {
// Message recalled successfully
}).catch(function(imError) {
// Failed to recall the message
console.warn('revokeMessage error:', imError);
});
// Received a message recall notification
chat.on(TencentCloudChat.EVENT.MESSAGE_REVOKED, function(event) {
// event.name - TencentCloudChat.EVENT.MESSAGE_REVOKED
// event.data - An array that stores Message objects - [Message]
// The `isRevoked` attribute value of each Message object is `true`.
});
// Encountered the recalled message while getting the list of messages in the conversation
let promise = chat.getMessageList({conversationID: 'C2Ctest', count: 15});
promise.then(function(imResponse) {
const messageList = imResponse.data.messageList; // Message list
messageList.forEach(function(message) {
if (message.isRevoked) {
// Process the recalled message
} else {
// Process ordinary messages
}
});
});
