One or more email address belonging to the User. The email addresses will be used for Email Notifications if they are enabled.
The locale field expects an IETF language tag. See the localization documentation.
One or more phone numbers belonging to the User. The phone number will be used for SMS Notifications (this feature requires standard plan and up).
TalkJS supports multiple sets of settings, called "roles". These allow you to change the behavior of TalkJS for different users. You have full control over which user gets which configuration.
1new User(options)
Use this constructor to create or update user data. The user is synchronized with the TalkJS backend if they are the current user in a session. If they are not the current user, and they are part of an existing conversation, they will be synchronized when the UI is mounted.
The fields id, name and email are required. A warning will be emitted if role is not specified.
Set email to null if you want to use TalkJS without email fallback.
