ChannelPreviewMessage
Renders a preview of the latest message inside ChannelList. This is the default component for the ChannelPreviewMessage override.
Best Practices
- Keep previews short and avoid heavy formatting in list rows.
- Prefer server-provided preview data when available.
- Handle missing message text gracefully (attachments-only, system messages).
- Avoid expensive parsing in render; precompute if needed.
- Keep preview styling consistent with the rest of
ChannelList.
