ChannelListComponent
The ChannelList component renders the list of channels.
The ChannelList displays channels using pagination, new channels are loaded if the user clicks the “Load more” button.
The channel list is always visible on desktop devices, on mobile devices, the list can be opened or closed controlled by a button in the ChannelHeader component.
Customization
Example 1 - Using a custom channel list component
See our customization guide on how to provide your own channel list component.
If you want to create your own channel list, you can use the ChannelService to receive the channels and interact with the Stream API.
Other building blocks, that you might find useful:
Toggle
The channel list is always visible on desktop devices, on mobile devices, the list can be opened or closed controlled by a button in the ChannelHeader component. The open/close mechanism is implemented by the ChannelListToggleService.
Loading indicator
The ChannelList component uses the LoadingIndicator component to display a spinner while more channels are being fetched.
Icons
The ChannelList component uses the Icon component to display icons.
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:
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.
