ChannelPreviewView

ChannelPreviewView renders a channel list item inside ChannelList. This is the default component for the ChannelPreview override.

Best Practices

Keep the preview row simple to maintain smooth list scrolling.
Clamp unread counts with maxUnreadCount to avoid layout overflow.
Use formatLatestMessageDate to keep date formatting consistent with your app.
Memoize onSelect handlers to reduce re-renders.
Override subcomponents (ChannelPreviewAvatar, ChannelPreviewMessage, etc.) for consistent branding.

`maxUnreadCount`	Max number shown in the unread badge. The value cannot exceed the backend limit of 255. Defaults to `255`.	`number`
`onSelect`	Function called when a user presses an item in the `ChannelList`. The function is called with the `Channel` instance corresponding to the list item as the only parameter.
