Message history
Page room history newest-first. Live subscribe is a separate listener.
Message history
room.messages.history() loads REST pages. Default order is newest first. A full page means hasNext() is true; next() walks older rows with the before cursor.
subscribe() is live frames only. historyBeforeSubscribe() fills the gap before the listener was attached.
const room = client.room("lobby");
const sub = room.messages.subscribe((event) => {
if (event.type === "message.created") console.log(event.message.content);
});
room.attach();
const page = await sub.historyBeforeSubscribe({ limit: 50 });
for (const message of page.items) {
console.log(message.content);
}
if (page.hasNext()) await page.next();
const one = await room.messages.get(9);
const versions = await room.messages.getVersions(9);
await room.messages.update(9, "edited");
await room.messages.delete(9);
await room.messages.reactions.send(9, "👍");useMessages() on FluxyRoomProvider exposes the same send/update/delete helpers plus the latest live frame. room.messages.reactions.subscribe is each add/remove frame, not an Ably summary.
