Presence & typing

Presence and typing flow over the room WebSocket — no separate REST polling required.

Typing with useChat

useChat exposes setTyping(isTyping) which sends a typing frame to the room Durable Object:

const { typingUsers, setTyping } = useChat({ roomId, client });

<input
  onFocus={() => setTyping(true)}
  onBlur={() => setTyping(false)}
/>
<p>
  {Object.entries(typingUsers)
    .filter(([, active]) => active)
    .map(([uid]) => uid)
    .join(", ")}{" "}
  typing…
</p>

Presence members

On connect, the room broadcasts presence events with member lists. The room store tracks presenceMembers:

const snapshot = useFluxyRoomStoreState(store);
snapshot.presenceMembers.map((m) => m.userId);

Pass optional profile data when joining via WebSocket query (presenceInfo JSON) for richer avatars in the dashboard.

Intents

Typing intents support composing, away, viewing_thread — surfaced as typingIntents in the room store for advanced UX (thread focus indicators).

See Connection state for transport details.
