React Chat - Editing Messages with Functions

You can set the editing.allowDeleting and allowUpdating options to a Boolean value to toggle editing functionality.

Alternatively, you can customize conditions for when users can edit messages. For example, the following code snippet prevents editing or deleting messages that are more than five minutes old:

jQuery
index.js
const restrictEditing = ({ message }) => {
    if (Date.now() - message.timestamp < 5 * 60 * 1000) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }       
};

$('#chat').dxChat({
    // ...
    editing: {
        allowUpdating: restrictEditing,
        allowDeleting: restrictEditing,
    },
});
Angular
app.component.html
app.component.ts
<dx-chat>
    <dxo-chat-editing
        [allowUpdating]="restrictEditing"
        [allowDeleting]="restrictEditing"
    ></dxo-chat-editing>
</dx-chat>
export class AppComponent {
    // ...
    restrictEditing(e) {
        if (Date.now() - e.message.timestamp < 5 * 60 * 1000) {
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }       
    };
};
Vue
App.vue
<template>
    <DxChat>
        <DxEditing
            :allow-deleting="restrictEditing"
            :allow-updating="restrictEditing"
        />
    </DxChat>
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
import DxChat, { DxEditing } from 'devextreme-vue/chat';

const restrictEditing = (e) => {
    if (Date.now() - e.message.timestamp < 5 * 60 * 1000) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }       
};
</script>
React
App.tsx
import React from 'react';
import Chat, { Editing } from 'devextreme-react/chat';

const restrictEditing = (e) => {
    if (Date.now() - e.message.timestamp < 5 * 60 * 1000) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }       
};

export default function App() {
    return (
        <Chat>
            <Editing
                allowDeleting={restrictEditing}
                allowUpdating={restrictEditing}
            />
        </Chat>
    );
}
NOTE
A Boolean value must be returned if allowDeleting or allowUpdating are used as functions.
