ChannelPreviewTitle

Renders a channel title inside ChannelList. This is the default component for the PreviewTitle prop.

Best Practices

  • Provide a fallback title when displayName is empty.
  • Keep titles short to prevent truncation in small layouts.
  • Use consistent casing and formatting across channel rows.
  • Avoid heavy logic in render; precompute display names when possible.
  • Keep title styling aligned with the rest of the preview row.
