Description
With the updates in the new Channel Settings modal, there is an opportunity to also update the ‘New Channel' modal since it will use a lot of the same input fields and UI.
For this update, the only functional update the is proposed is the function for editing the URL. Rather than opening another modal, it is proposed that we show the input field within the existing modal.
Channel name (required)
When the modal first opens, focus on the channel name field immediately.
This field is required
The ‘Create Channel’ button is disabled until a name is entered
Editing the channel URL
By default, the URL field is hidden. When users click on the ‘Edit’ button next to the URL, the input field for the URL slug is displayed below.
The full URL displayed above the field updates as the user types.
The same validation rules apply to this field as in the current URL field.
Channel Access
Defaults to Public, can be toggled to Private.
Channel Purpose (optional)
Does not accept markdown.
Channel Header (optional)
Markdown formatting that is used here will render in the channel header.
Preview toggle
For the channel header, there is a new icon button in the top-right of the header input that allows users to toggle the preview of how their markdown will look.
Errors
When there are errors in the form, a notice displays at the top and an error message displays under the field that is marked invalid. The ‘Create Channel’ button is also disabled until this is addressed.
