# Accept connection

> Accept a pending connection request by connection ID

## Overview

Returns a function that accepts a pending incoming connection request. The current user must be authenticated and must be the recipient of the request.

## Usage Example

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

function PendingRequest({ connectionId }: { connectionId: string }) {
  const acceptConnection = useAcceptConnection();

  return (
    <button onClick={() => acceptConnection({ connectionId })}>
      Accept
    </button>
  );
}
```

## Parameters

The hook returns a function. That function accepts:

<ParamField path="connectionId" type="string" required>
  The ID of the connection record to accept.
</ParamField>

## Returns

<ResponseField name="id" type="string">
  The connection record ID.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="status" type="string">
  The updated status, e.g. `"connected"`.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="respondedAt" type="string | undefined">
  ISO timestamp when the request was accepted.
</ResponseField>
