`useRemoveConnectionByUserId`

Overview

The useRemoveConnectionByUserId hook allows the current logged-in user to remove a connection or withdraw a connection request using a user ID instead of a connection ID. This is a convenience hook that automatically finds and removes any connection relationship with the specified user.

Usage Example

import { useRemoveConnectionByUserId } from "@replyke/react-js";

function DisconnectButton({ targetUserId }: { targetUserId: string }) {
  const removeConnectionByUserId = useRemoveConnectionByUserId();

  const handleDisconnect = async () => {
    try {
      const result = await removeConnectionByUserId({ userId: targetUserId });
      console.log(`Connection removed successfully:`, result);
    } catch (error) {
      console.error("Failed to remove connection:", error.message);
    }
  };

  return <button onClick={handleDisconnect}>Disconnect</button>;
}

Advanced Usage with Confirmation

import { useRemoveConnectionByUserId } from "@replyke/react-js";
import { useState } from "react";

function SmartDisconnectButton({
  userId,
  username,
  connectionType,
  onDisconnect
}: {
  userId: string;
  username: string;
  connectionType: 'connected' | 'pending-sent' | 'pending-received';
  onDisconnect?: (userId: string) => void;
}) {
  const removeConnectionByUserId = useRemoveConnectionByUserId();
  const [isProcessing, setIsProcessing] = useState(false);

  const getActionText = () => {
    switch (connectionType) {
      case 'connected':
        return 'Disconnect';
      case 'pending-sent':
        return 'Withdraw Request';
      case 'pending-received':
        return 'Remove Request';
      default:
        return 'Remove Connection';
    }
  };

  const getConfirmationMessage = () => {
    switch (connectionType) {
      case 'connected':
        return `Are you sure you want to disconnect from ${username}?`;
      case 'pending-sent':
        return `Are you sure you want to withdraw your connection request to ${username}?`;
      case 'pending-received':
        return `Are you sure you want to remove the connection request from ${username}?`;
      default:
        return `Are you sure you want to remove this connection with ${username}?`;
    }
  };

  const handleRemove = async () => {
    const confirmed = window.confirm(getConfirmationMessage());
    if (!confirmed) return;

    setIsProcessing(true);
    try {
      const result = await removeConnectionByUserId({ userId });
      console.log(`Successfully removed connection with ${username}:`, result);
      onDisconnect?.(userId);

      // Show success message based on action
      const actionCompleted = connectionType === 'connected' ? 'disconnected from' :
                            connectionType === 'pending-sent' ? 'withdrew request to' :
                            'removed request from';
      alert(`Successfully ${actionCompleted} ${username}.`);
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(`Failed to remove connection with ${username}:`, error);
      alert("Failed to remove connection. Please try again.");
    } finally {
      setIsProcessing(false);
    }
  };

  return (
    <button
      onClick={handleRemove}
      disabled={isProcessing}
      className={`remove-connection-btn ${connectionType}`}
    >
      {isProcessing ? "Processing..." : getActionText()}
    </button>
  );
}

Usage with Error Recovery

import { useRemoveConnectionByUserId } from "@replyke/react-js";
import { useState } from "react";

function ReliableDisconnectButton({
  userId,
  username,
  maxRetries = 3
}: {
  userId: string;
  username: string;
  maxRetries?: number;
}) {
  const removeConnectionByUserId = useRemoveConnectionByUserId();
  const [isProcessing, setIsProcessing] = useState(false);
  const [retryCount, setRetryCount] = useState(0);

  const attemptRemoval = async (attempt: number = 1): Promise<boolean> => {
    try {
      await removeConnectionByUserId({ userId });
      return true;
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(`Attempt ${attempt} failed to remove connection with ${username}:`, error);

      if (attempt < maxRetries) {
        // Exponential backoff: wait 2^attempt seconds
        const delay = Math.pow(2, attempt) * 1000;
        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, delay));
        return attemptRemoval(attempt + 1);
      }

      return false;
    }
  };

  const handleRemoveWithRetry = async () => {
    const confirmed = window.confirm(
      `Are you sure you want to remove the connection with ${username}?`
    );
    if (!confirmed) return;

    setIsProcessing(true);
    setRetryCount(0);

    try {
      const success = await attemptRemoval();

      if (success) {
        alert(`Successfully removed connection with ${username}!`);
      } else {
        alert(`Failed to remove connection with ${username} after ${maxRetries} attempts. Please try again later.`);
      }
    } finally {
      setIsProcessing(false);
      setRetryCount(0);
    }
  };

  return (
    <button
      onClick={handleRemoveWithRetry}
      disabled={isProcessing}
      className="reliable-disconnect-btn"
    >
      {isProcessing
        ? `Removing... ${retryCount > 0 ? `(Retry ${retryCount}/${maxRetries})` : ''}`
        : "Remove Connection"
      }
    </button>
  );
}

Parameters & Returns

Parameters

The hook returns a function that accepts an object with the following field:

userId

string

required

The ID of the user to remove connection with

Returns

The function returns a Promise that resolves to a RemoveConnectionByUserIdResponse object containing details about the removal operation.

Error Handling

The hook will throw errors in the following cases:

No project is specified
No user is logged in
No user ID is provided
Attempting to remove connection with yourself
No connection exists with the specified user
Network connection issues

Advantages over useRemoveConnection

Convenience:

No need to know the specific connection ID
Works with just a user ID (simpler API)
Automatically handles different connection states

Flexibility:

Works for established connections, pending requests, and declined requests
Single API for all connection removal scenarios

User Experience:

Simpler integration in user-facing components
More intuitive for developers building UI components

Use Cases

This hook is ideal for:

User profile connection management
“Block” or “Remove” functionality in user lists
Cleanup operations when users are removed
Privacy controls and connection management
Administrative user management interfaces

useRemoveConnection - Remove connection by connection ID
useFetchConnectionStatus - Check connection status before removal
useConnectionManager - Comprehensive connection state management
useRequestConnection - Send new connection requests after removal
