ChannelType

An end-to-end encrypted channel.

The messages published to encrypted channels are encrypted using Secretbox standard from NaCl. These channels have the same restrictions as a private channel for the purposes of subscription attempts.

A user presence channel.

Presence channels provide an awareness of which users are subscribed to them. These channels have the same restrictions as a private channel for the purposes of subscription attempts.

A private channel.

The messages published to private channels are considered sensitive. In order for a user to subscribe to these channels, they must first be authorised via a call to a authentication endpoint configured by the developer.

A public channel.

The messages published to public channels are considered publicly-accessible. These channels do not require any form of authorisation in order to be subscribed to.

Creates a ChannelType whose value is inferred based on a full channel name.

A channel named "presence-my-channel" would initialize to a value of presence. Any channel named without a reserved prefix will be initialized to public. (e.g. "my-important-channel").
