Hi all. While working on a stream-chat integration I noticed the following lines in the channel service js file.
const prevChannels = recoverState ? [] : this.channelsSubject.getValue() || []; this.channelsSubject.next([...prevChannels, ...channels]);

In the queryChannels function parameters the recoverState defaults to false. When we are updating the channels subject, there's a part where we check if the recoverState parameter is true.

What I'm pointing out here might sound silly but it's confusing if you're reading the code.

"recovering" the state suggests that the dev. wants to go back to a previous state...

but on this line const prevChannels = recoverState ? [] : this.channelsSubject.getValue() || []; the recoverState being set to true indicates that prevChannels would be loading an empty array and if false it would be going back to the previous state.

This line would make sense if written as such:
const prevChannels = recoverState ? this.channelsSubject.getValue() || [] : [];

Or maybe the developer's true intention here was to reset the State in which case, renaming the recoverState parameter to resetState would be the correct answer.

I hope this makes sense. Please feel free to disagree.
