1:1 conversations and groups are both examples of channels, albeit with some (distinct/non-distinct)
differences. Displaying the list of channels that a user is a part of is a pattern present in most messaging apps.

### Basic Example
Here is a basic example of the `ChannelListView` widget. It consists of the main widget itself, a `Filter`
to filter only the channels that the user is a part of, sorting by last message time, pagination params,
and the widget to use when a particular channel is clicked.
Here is a basic example of the `StreamChannelListView` widget. It consists of the main widget itself, a `StreamChannelListController` to control the list of channels and a callback to handle the tap of a channel.

const ChannelListPage({
Key? key,
required this.client,
}) : super(key: key);
final StreamChatClient client;
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: ChannelsBloc(
child: ChannelListView(
filter: Filter.in_('members', [StreamChat.of(context).user.id]),
sort: [SortOption('last_message_at')],
pagination: PaginationParams(
limit: 20,

channelWidget: ChannelPage(),

### Customizing the Channel Preview
A common aspect of the widget needed to be tweaked according to each app is the Channel Preview (the
Channel tile in the list). To do this, we use the `channelPreviewBuilder` param like this:

### Adding Swipe Actions
To add actions (such as delete, more info, etc) when Channel preview is swiped left, set the `swipeToAction`
parameter to `true`.
```dart
ChannelListView(
...
swipeToAction: true,
),
```
This adds two basic actions - info and delete:

onTap: (channel) {
