# Method name: queryJoinRequests()

# Method package: wixGroupsBackend

# Method menu location: wixGroupsBackend --> JoinRequests --> queryJoinRequests

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-groups-backend/join-requests/query-join-requests.md

# Method Description:

Creates a query to retrieve a list of join requests.

 

> **Notes:** 
> + This function is only relevant for private groups.
> + For `SECRET` groups, only site admins and group admins can query requests to join their group. However, if the `suppressAuth` option is set to `true`, all permissions are overwritten, and all site members (including non-group members) can query requests to join a group. 

The `queryJoinRequests()` function builds a query to retrieve a list of all requests to join a group, and returns a [JoinRequestsQueryBuilder](https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-groups-backend/join-requests/join-requests-query-builder/introduction.md) object.

The returned object contains the query definition which is typically used to run the query using the [`find()`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-groups-backend/join-requests/join-requests-query-builder/find.md) function. 

You can refine the query by chaining `JoinRequestsQueryBuilder` functions onto the query. `JoinRequestsQueryBuilder` functions enable you to sort, filter, and control the results that `queryJoinRequests()` returns.

The results of the `queryJoinRequests()` function are sorted by `_createdDate` in descending order.   

`queryJoinRequests()` runs with this `JoinRequestsQueryBuilder` default, which you can override:
+ [`limit(100)`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-groups-backend/join-requests/join-requests-query-builder/limit.md)

The following `JoinRequestsQueryBuilder` functions are supported for `queryJoinRequests()`. For a full description of the JoinRequests object, see the object returned for the [`items`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-groups-backend/join-requests/join-requests-query-result/items.md) property in [`JoinRequestsQueryResult`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-groups-backend/join-requests/join-requests-query-result/introduction.md).

# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.

## Query requests to join a group

```javascript
import { Permissions, webMethod } from 'wix-web-module';
import { joinRequests } from 'wix-groups-backend';

export const myQueryJoinRequestsFunction = webMethod(Permissions.Anyone, () => {
  return joinRequests.queryJoinRequests()
    .find()
    .then((results) => {
      const items = results.items;
      const firstItem = items[0];
      const pageSize = results.pageSize;
      const totalPages = results.totalPages;
      const totalCount = results.totalCount;
      const currentPage = results.currentPage();
      const next = results.next();
      const previous = results.prev();
      const hasNext = results.hasNext();
      const hasPrev = results.hasPrev();
      const length = results.length;

      return items;
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      console.error(error);
    });
});

/* Returns items:
 * [
 *  { 
 *    "memberId": "937cd3db-e9be-4980-93c1-a6d767a11050"
 *    "_createdDate": "Wed May 14 2021 10:05:20 GMT+0300"
 *    "status": "REJECTED"
 *    "rejectionReason": "Wrong group."
 *  },
 *  {
