Check If A User Is Online / Check Last Active
User presence allows you to show when a user was last active and if they are online right now.
Whenever you read a user the data will look like this:
```json
{
id: 'unique_user_id',
online: true,
status: 'Eating a veggie burger...',
last_active: '2019-01-07T13:17:42.375Z'
}
```
Notes:
1. The online field indicates if the user is online. The status field stores text indicating the current user status.
2. The last_active field is updated when a user connects and then refreshed every 15 minutes.
### Invisible
To mark a user invisible simply set the invisible property to true. You can also set a custom status message at the same time:
```dart
await client.connectUser(
User(
id: 'super-band-9',
extraData: {
'invisible': true,
},
),
'eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoic3VwZXItYmFuZC05In0.0L6lGoeLwkz0aZRUcpZKsvaXtNEDHBcezVTZ0oPq40A',
);
```
Notes:
1. When invisible is set to true, the current user will appear as offline to other users.
### Listening to Presence Changes
Of course, you want to listen to the user presence changes. This allows you to show a user as offline when they leave and update their status in real time.
These 3 endpoints allow you to watch user presence:
```dart
// If you pass presence: true to channel.watch it will watch the list of user presence changes.
// Note that you can listen to at most 10 users using this API call
final channel = client.channel(
'messaging',
id: 'flutterdevs',
extraData: {
'name': 'Flutter devs',
},
);
await channel.watch({
'presence': true,
});
// queryChannels allows you to listen to the members of the channels that are returned
// so this does the same thing as above and listens to online status changes for john and jack
final filter = Filter.in_('members', ['john']);
final sort = [SortOption("last_message_at", direction: SortOption.DESC)];
final channels = await client.queryChannels(
filter: filter,
sort: sort,
options: {
'presence': true,
},
);
// queryUsers allows you to listen to user presence changes for john and jack
final result = await client.queryUsers(
filter: Filter.in_('id', ['john', 'jack', 'jessie']),
sort: [SortOption('last_active')],
pagination: PaginationParams(
offset: 0,
limit: 20,
),
options: {
'presence': true,
},
);
```
