Overview

useSpacePermissions is a utility hook that computes derived permission flags from a user’s raw membership permissions and the space’s permission settings. It is used internally by useSpaceData and exposed for cases where you need to compute permissions outside of a SpaceProvider.
In most cases, you should use useSpace instead — it exposes isMember, isAdmin, canPost, etc. directly. Use useSpacePermissions only when working outside a SpaceProvider context.

​
Usage Example

import { useSpacePermissions } from "@replyke/core";

const permissions = useSpacePermissions({
  memberPermissions: space.memberPermissions,
  postingPermission: space.postingPermission,
  readingPermission: space.readingPermission,
});

console.log(permissions.canPost, permissions.isAdmin);

​
Parameters

memberPermissions
SpaceMemberPermissions | null | undefined

The raw membership permissions object from the space. null or undefined if the user is not a member.
​
postingPermission
"anyone" | "members" | "admins"
required

The space’s reading permission setting. Defaults to "anyone".
