# useCancelEvent

> Cancel an event without deleting it (host-only)

## Overview

`useCancelEvent` returns a callable that cancels an event by setting its `status` to `"cancelled"`. **Host-only.** The event stays fetchable but rejects new RSVPs. When the `notifications` bundle is enabled, all `going`/`maybe` attendees receive an `event-cancelled` notification.

## Usage Example

```tsx theme={null}
import { useCancelEvent } from "@sublay/react-js";

function CancelButton({ eventId }: { eventId: string }) {
  const cancelEvent = useCancelEvent();
  return <button onClick={() => cancelEvent({ eventId })}>Cancel event</button>;
}
```

## Parameters

<ParamField path="eventId" type="string" required>The event to cancel.</ParamField>

## Returns

Returns a `Promise<Event>` — the [Event](/data-models/event) with `status: "cancelled"`.
