useChannelMembersState
Subscribes to and returns channel.state.members for a channel.
Best Practices
- Use this hook for member-aware preview UI such as direct-chat detection.
- Expect updates from member and user presence events.
- Avoid expensive transforms on every render for large channels.
- Handle optional return values when channel may be undefined.
- Prefer derived selectors for specific data when possible.
