`useSession`

The effective providers, and this call’s identity.

import { useSession } from "curb";

function useSession(): SessionView;

Returns

Value	What it is
`settings`	The effective providers
`call.sessionId`	The host’s id for this call. On a LiveKit worker, the room name; in `curb dev`, the preview conversation’s id
`call.scratchDir`	A writable directory of this call’s own, removed when the call ends. Not set in `curb dev`

call is set on every route that runs a call, and absent under curb say and curb test. Read a call’s identity here, never from process.env: a runner that serves several calls has one environment for all of them.

Example

function CallInfo() {
  const { call } = useSession();
  return <Text>{call ? `Call ${call.sessionId}.` : "Not on a call."}</Text>;
}
