ℹ️ Deprecation Notice for Integrators

We want to inform you that the useChatMessages hook is now deprecated and will be removed in a future version of our library.

What Does This Mean?

• Deprecated means that while the useChatMessages hook continues to work for now, it's no longer the recommended way to access chat room state and messages.

Why is it Deprecated?

• We've introduced the useChatRoomState hook, which serves the same purpose but follows a more consistent naming convention for our hooks. This change is part of our efforts to provide better naming conventions for a smoother development experience.

What Should You Do?

• If you are currently using the useChatMessages hook, we recommend updating your code to use the useChatRoomState hook instead. This will ensure that your integration remains compatible with future versions of our library.
• Please review our updated documentation for examples and guidelines on how to use the useChatRoomState hook.

Timing of Removal:

• While the useChatMessages hook is deprecated, it will continue to work for a limited period. However, to avoid any potential issues in the future, we encourage you to make the transition as soon as possible.

We appreciate your cooperation in this transition and are here to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.
