Delete A Group

Delete CometChat groups from JavaScript apps by GUID when the logged-in user has permission.

​

Delete a Group

Use deleteGroup() with the group’s GUID.

Deleting a group needs a connection. With offline support enabled, deleteGroup() is not queued for later. After it succeeds, the group’s conversation and cached messages are removed from the on-device cache at the next catch-up sync, and any messages still queued to it then fail with reason DISCARDED. See Send While Offline.

TypeScript

const GUID: string = "GUID";

CometChat.deleteGroup(GUID).then(
(response: boolean) => {
console.log("Group deleted successfully:", response);
}, (error: CometChat.CometChatException) => {
console.log("Group delete failed with exception:", error);
}
);

JavaScript

const GUID = "GUID";

CometChat.deleteGroup(GUID).then(
response => {
  console.log("Groups deleted successfully:", response);
}, error => {
  console.log("Group delete failed with exception:", error);
}
);

Alternatively, you can use the async/await syntax:

const GUID = "GUID";

try {
  const response = await CometChat.deleteGroup(GUID);
  console.log("Group deleted successfully:", response);
} catch (error) {
  console.log("Group delete failed with exception:", error);
}

The deleteGroup() method takes the following parameters:

Parameter	Description
GUID	The GUID of the group you would like to delete

On success, the method resolves with true (boolean).
