# `ExGram.Model.ChatJoinRequest`
[🔗](https://github.com/rockneurotiko/ex_gram/blob/0.64.0/lib/ex_gram.ex#L5159)

Represents a join request sent to a chat.

Check the [documentation of this model on Telegram Bot API](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#chatjoinrequest)

- `chat`: Chat to which the request was sent
- `from`: User that sent the join request
- `user_chat_id`: Identifier of a private chat with the user who sent the join request. This number may have more than 32 significant bits and some programming languages may have difficulty/silent defects in interpreting it. But it has at most 52 significant bits, so a 64-bit integer or double-precision float type are safe for storing this identifier. The bot can use this identifier for 5 minutes to send messages until the join request is processed, assuming no other administrator contacted the user.
- `date`: Date the request was sent in Unix time
- `bio (optional)`: Optional. Bio of the user.
- `invite_link (optional)`: Optional. Chat invite link that was used by the user to send the join request

# `t`

@type t() :: %ExGram.Model.ChatJoinRequest{
  bio: String.t() | nil,
  chat: ExGram.Model.Chat.t(),
  date: integer(),
  from: ExGram.Model.User.t(),
  invite_link: ExGram.Model.ChatInviteLink.t() | nil,
  user_chat_id: integer()
}
