I am trying to query Twilio to see if 2 users have ever engaged in a conversation. I query conversations.user.userConversations
to get a list of conversations the primary user has been in, then i filter that list to check where the participantSid
of the main user in any of their conversations matches the sid
of the participant user.
My function doesnt work, why?
const checkForExistingConversations = async (loggedInUserSid, participantUserSid) =>
{
let existingConversations = await client.conversations.users(loggedInUserSid)
.userConversations
.list()
existingConversations.filter((convo) => convo.participantSid === participantUserSid) // here is the issue
return existingConversations
}
CodePudding user response:
The filter
method does not mutate the array, but returns a new one, so your function should look like this:
const checkForExistingConversations = async (loggedInUserSid, participantUserSid) =>
{
let existingConversations = await client.conversations.users(loggedInUserSid)
.userConversations
.list()
return existingConversations.filter((convo) => convo.participantSid === participantUserSid)
}
