Example 2 - Using a custom channel preview component

If you only want to customize the channel preview items (not the whole list), see the channel preview customization guide.

Example 3 - Content injection points

It's possible to inject your own content to the top or to the bottom of the channel list:

<stream-channel-list>
  <input channel-list-top placeholder="Search" />
  <button channel-list-bottom>Add new channel</button>
</stream-channel-list>

Use the channel-list-top attribute to inject content at the top of the channel list, and the channel-list-bottom to display content at the bottom of the channel list.
