We’ve added pagination when fetching threads and inbox notifications in React, making it easy to add a “Load more” button when building your application. This is the new default behavior, and can make initial load times quicker, as only 50 threads/notifications are loaded at once.
In the code, this change applies to
useThreads and
useInboxNotifications,
and pagination works in the same way for both.
To learn more and upgrade your app, make sure to read our pagination upgrade guide.
In our React components, it’s now possible to revalidate user, mention, and room data without refreshing this page. This is helpful in a number of ways—for example if a user changes their avatar, you can tell Liveblocks to revalidate its user cache, and you’ll see the new avatar in Comments.
We’ve introduced three new functions for this, allowing you to:
@ in a comment.When using React, you can retrieve client with
useClient. Learn more under
resolver methods in our docs.
Recently we introduced attachments for Comments, allowing you to upload media and files to individual comments. We’ve expanded support for this into other parts of our product, for example you can now see attachments in the dashboard and in our Figma collaboration kit
We now offer pre-negotiated discounts for startups and nonprofits, helping you to build and grow your company.
