Update A Group

Update Group

In other words, as a group owner, how can I update the group details?

You can update the existing details of the group using the updateGroup() method.

Swift

let GUID = "GUID";
let groupName = "Hello Group!";
let groupType: CometChat.groupType = .public;

let groupTobeUpdated = Group(guid: GUID, name: groupName, groupType: groupType, password: nil)

CometChat.updateGroup(group: groupTobeUpdated, onSuccess: { (group) in

  print("Groups details updated successfully. " + group.stringValue())

}) { (error) in

   print("Group details update failed with error: " + error!.errorDescription);
}

Objective C

NSString *guid = @"cometchat-guid-101";
NSString *name = @"TestGroup1";
NSString *password = nil ; // mandatory in case of password protected group type
NSInteger limit = 30;

Group *groupToBeUpdated = [[Group alloc]initWithGuid:guid name:name groupType:groupTypePublic password:password];

[CometChat updateGroupWithGroup:groupToBeUpdated onSuccess:^(Group * group) {

    NSLog(@"Groups details updated successfully. %@",[group stringValue]);

} onError:^(CometChatException * error) {

    NSLog(@"Group details update failed with error: %@",[error errorDescription]);
}];

This method takes an instance of the Group class as a parameter that should contain the data that you wish to update.

Parameter	Description
group	an instance of class Group

After a successful update of the group, you will receive an instance of the Group class containing update information of the group.

There is no real-time event listener available to receive updated group details when the updateGroup() method is called. To get the latest group information, you need to fetch the group details again using the appropriate method.
