Field Validation / meaning
name schema.string().trim().minLen(1).maxLen(64)
type schema.enum(["text", "voice", "forum", "separator"])
permissions schema.record(schema.any()).optional()
description schema.string().optional()
display_name schema.string().optional()
size schema.number().optional()
max_message_age schema.number().min(0).optional()
slow_mode_cooldown schema.number().min(0).optional()

Validator source

Section titled “Validator source”

The handler and shared validation path use these OSL schema definitions before normalization:

*schema.Schema schemaChannelCreate = schema.object({
  name: schema.string().trim().minLen(1).maxLen(64),
  type: schema.enum(["text", "voice", "forum", "separator"]),
  permissions: schema.record(schema.any()).optional(),
  description: schema.string().optional(),
  display_name: schema.string().optional(),
  size: schema.number().optional(),
  max_message_age: schema.number().min(0).optional(),
  slow_mode_cooldown: schema.number().min(0).optional()
})

Processing path

Section titled “Processing path”
  1. handleCmd enforces authentication and the manage_channels permission.
  2. dispatchCmd routes channel_create to handleChannelCreate.
  3. The adapter validates and normalizes input, then calls its domain collaborators.
  4. Durable mutations complete before the response or event is returned.
  5. onMessage adds the request listener to direct responses and performs any marked broadcast.

Direct collaborators visible in the handler: channelNameError, channelGet, channelCreate, auditRecord, refreshChannels

Responses and events

Section titled “Responses and events”

Response/event command names visible in this adapter: channel_create.

Validation and domain failures use:

{
  "cmd": "error",
  "val": "<message>",
  "src": "channel_create",
  "listener": "<copied from request>"
}
