A forceChatter:feed component represents a feed that's specified by its type. Use the type attribute to display a specific feed type. For example, set type="groups" to display the feed from all groups the context user either owns or is a member of.
<aura:component implements="force:appHostable"> <forceChatter:feed type="groups"/> </aura:component>
You can also display a feed depending on the type selected. This example provides a drop-down menu that controls the type of feed to display.
<aura:component implements="force:appHostable"> <aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.doInit}"/> <aura:attribute name="type" type="String" default="News" description="The type of feed" access="GLOBAL"/> <aura:attribute name="types" type="String[]" default="Bookmarks,Company,Files,Groups,Home,News,People" description="A list of feed types"/> <h1>My Feeds</h1> <ui:inputSelect aura:id="typeSelect" change="{!c.onChangeType}" label="Type"/> <div aura:id="feedContainer" class="feed-container"> <forceChatter:feed /> </div> </aura:component>
The types attribute specifies the feed types, which are set on the ui:inputSelect component during component initialization. When a user selects a feed type, the feed is dynamically created and displayed.
({ // Handle component initialization doInit : function(component, event, helper) { var type = component.get("v.type"); var types = component.get("v.types"); var typeOpts = new Array(); // Set the feed types on the ui:inputSelect component for (var i = 0; i < types.length; i++) { typeOpts.push({label: types[i], value: types[i], selected: types[i] === type}); } component.find("typeSelect").set("v.options", typeOpts); }, onChangeType : function(component, event, helper) { var typeSelect = component.find("typeSelect"); var type = typeSelect.get("v.value"); component.set("v.type", type); // Dynamically create the feed with the specified type $A.createComponent("forceChatter:feed", {"type": type}, function(feed) { var feedContainer = component.find("feedContainer"); feedContainer.set("v.body", feed); }); } })
The feed is supported for Salesforce1 only. You can include the feed in a component and access it in the Salesforce1 app. For a list of feed types, see the Chatter REST API Developer's Guide.
