# Channels
## Channel Creation
Channels are created via the REST API. Public channels are broadcast to all
connected clients.
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant Client as Client (TUI/API)
participant CC as ChannelsController
participant ChS as ChannelService
participant CS as ChatService
participant DB as SQLite
participant SRB as SignalRBroadcaster
participant IRCB as IrcBroadcaster
Client->>CC: POST /api/channels {name, topic, isPublic}
CC->>ChS: CreateChannelAsync(creatorId, name, topic, isPublic)
ChS->>ChS: Normalize name (lowercase, trim)
ChS->>ChS: Validate format (2-100 chars, regex)
ChS->>DB: Check duplicate
ChS->>DB: INSERT Channel + ChannelMembership (creator auto-added)
ChS-->>CC: ChannelDto
alt Channel is public
CC->>CS: BroadcastChannelUpdatedAsync(channel)
CS->>SRB: SendChannelUpdatedAsync(channelDto)
SRB->>SRB: Notify all SignalR clients
CS->>IRCB: SendChannelUpdatedAsync(channelDto)
end
CC-->>Client: 201 Created (ChannelDto)
```
**Code references:**
| Step | File | Location |
|------|------|----------|
| Controller endpoint | `src/EchoHub.Server/Controllers/ChannelsController.cs` | Lines 60-76 |
| Channel service create | `src/EchoHub.Server/Services/ChannelService.cs` | Lines 50-90 |
| Broadcast updated | `src/EchoHub.Server/Services/ChatService.cs` | Lines 308-309 |

## Channel Deletion
Only the channel creator (or admin) can delete a channel. The default channel
is protected.
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant Client as Client
participant CC as ChannelsController
participant ChS as ChannelService
participant DB as SQLite
Client->>CC: DELETE /api/channels/{channel}
CC->>ChS: DeleteChannelAsync(channelName, callerId)
ChS->>ChS: Reject if default channel
ChS->>DB: Lookup channel
ChS->>ChS: Verify caller is creator or admin
ChS->>DB: DELETE Channel (cascade: messages, memberships)
ChS-->>CC: Success
CC-->>Client: 204 No Content
```
**Code references:**
| Step | File | Location |
|------|------|----------|
| Controller endpoint | `src/EchoHub.Server/Controllers/ChannelsController.cs` | Lines 94-106 |
| Channel service delete | `src/EchoHub.Server/Services/ChannelService.cs` | Lines 119-144 |

## Joining a Channel
Both SignalR and IRC clients join channels through `ChatService`. The presence
tracker determines if this is a genuinely new join (vs. a second connection) and
broadcasts accordingly.
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant Client as Client (SignalR or IRC)
participant Entry as ChatHub / IrcCommandHandler
participant CS as ChatService
participant ChS as ChannelService
participant PT as PresenceTracker
participant DB as SQLite
participant SRB as SignalRBroadcaster
participant IRCB as IrcBroadcaster
Client->>Entry: JoinChannel / JOIN #channel
Entry->>CS: JoinChannelAsync(connectionId, userId, username, channel)
CS->>ChS: EnsureChannelMembershipAsync(userId, channel)
ChS->>DB: INSERT ChannelMembership (if not exists)
CS->>PT: JoinChannel(username, channel)
PT-->>CS: isNewJoin?
alt First connection in this channel
CS->>DB: Fetch UserPresenceDto
CS->>CS: BroadcastToAllAsync(SendUserJoinedAsync)
par
CS->>SRB: SendUserJoinedAsync(channel, user, excludeConn)
and
CS->>IRCB: SendUserJoinedAsync(channel, user)
end
end
CS->>DB: Fetch message history
CS-->>Entry: (history, error)
Entry-->>Client: History messages
```
