# ChannelGroupProps

Properties for the Channel Group.

Extends: ChannelGroupProps
Used as props by: ChannelGroup

- Stability: [Experimental](/cdk/api/stability.html)
- Source: [`lib/group.ts`](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/blob/v2.276.0-alpha.0/packages/@aws-cdk/aws-mediapackagev2-alpha/lib/group.ts#L114)

## Example

```ts
declare const stack: Stack;

// Create a channel group
const group = new ChannelGroup(stack, 'MyChannelGroup', {
  channelGroupName: 'my-channel-group',
});

// Add a channel using the factory method
const channel = group.addChannel('MyChannel', {
  channelName: 'my-channel',
  input: InputConfiguration.cmaf(),
});

// Add an origin endpoint using the factory method
const endpoint = channel.addOriginEndpoint('MyEndpoint', {
  originEndpointName: 'my-endpoint',
  segment: Segment.cmaf(),
  manifests: [Manifest.hls({ manifestName: 'index' })],
});
```

## Properties

- `channelGroupName`: string = autogenerated — The name that describes the channel group.

  The name is the primary identifier for the channel group, and must be unique for your account in the AWS Region.

- `description`: string — The description for your channel group.

  **Default:** no description

- `removalPolicy`: [RemovalPolicy](/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.RemovalPolicy.html) = RemovalPolicy.DESTROY — Policy to apply when the channel group is removed from the stack.

  Even though MediaPackage ChannelGroups, Channels and OriginEndpoints are technically stateful,
  their contents are transient and it is common to add and remove these while rearchitecting your application.
  The default is therefore `DESTROY`. Change it to `RETAIN` if the content (in a lookback window) are so
  valuable that accidentally losing it would be unacceptable.

- `tags`: { [key: string]: string } — Tags to add to the Channel Group.

  **Default:** No tagging
