When using the <ChannelList />
component in the UIKit to create a new group channel, is there a way to set the name of that channel? I know how to set the name when using the Javascript SDK directly, but can I also set the name with the UIKit?
I think I found it with the onBeforeCreateChannel
property.
Hi @mwq27, using the onBeforeCreateChannel property, you should indeed be able to alter the channelName. Here is a sample from the documentation:
onst ChannelWithOnBeforeCreateChannel = ({ sdk }) => (
<div style={{ height: '520px' }}>
<ChannelList onBeforeCreateChannel={(selectedUsers) => {
if (!sdk || !sdk.GroupChannelParams) { return }
const params = new sdk.GroupChannelParams();
params.addUserIds(selectedUsers);
params.name = CUSTOM_NAME;
return params;
}}
/>
</div>
