useHidePublication

useHidePublication is a React hook that allows you to hide a publication an active profile owns.

const { hide, isPending } = useHidePublication();

Important to know

Once you publish something on-chain you can not remove it.

Hiding publication only hides it from the API's storage, it does not do anything on-chain.

This is just a nice way to allow users to "delete" publication by hiding content and media which was uploaded for it.

You must own the publication to hide it, if you want to report someone else publication there is a separarate hook called [useReportPublication](https://docs.lens.xyz/docs/use-report-publication).

Refer to the API documention to get more information about how hiding works: https://docs.lens.xyz/docs/hide-publication

Usage

import {
  PublicationFragment,
  useHidePublication,
  isPublicationOwnedByMe,
} from '@lens-protocol/react-web';

type HidePublicationProps = {
  publication: PublicationFragment;
};

export function HidePublication({ publication }: HidePublicationProps) {
  const { hide, isPending } = useHidePublication();

  if (!isPublicationOwnedByMe(publication)) {
    return <p>Can't hide publication that's not owned by you</p>;
  }

  return (
    <button
      onClick={async () => await hide(publication)}
      disabled={isPending || publication.hidden}
