Create A Group

Create a Group

In other words, as a logged-in user, how do I create a public, private or password-protected group?

You can create a group using createGroup() method. This method takes a Group object as input.

To create an object of Group class, you can use either of the below two constructors:

1. new Group(String GUID, String name, String groupType, String password)
2. new Group(String GUID, String name, String groupType, String password, String icon, String description)

The groupType needs to be either of the below 3 values:

1.CometChatConstants.GROUP_TYPE_PUBLIC (public)

2.CometChatConstants.GROUP_TYPE_PASSWORD (password)

3.CometChatConstants.GROUP_TYPE_PRIVATE (private)

var GUID = "GUID";
var groupName = "Hello Group!";
var groupType = CometChat.GROUP_TYPE.PUBLIC;
var password = "";

var group = new CometChat.Group(GUID, groupName, groupType, password);

CometChat.createGroup(group).then(
  (group) => {
    console.log("Group created successfully:", group);
  },
  (error) => {
    console.log("Group creation failed with exception:", error);
  }
);

The createGroup() method takes the following parameters:

After successful creation of the group, you will receive an instance of Group class which contains all the information about the particular group.
