Edited the warning to clearly state that most members/most stream members
will be notified on using wildcard mentions, along with the specific
mention (e.g. @ALL, @everyone and @stream).
Did a separate check for all wildcard mentions in util.js and stored the
corresponding mention in wildcard_mention inside compose.js.
Fixes: #13636
This change is in series of de-duplication of code in "Other permission"
section for various dropdowns.
Here rather than using "by_anyone" and "disabled" for the `value` attribute
of options, we use actual numeric values. As a result, we don't need to
manually handle to extract the data to be sent to the backend on saving.
This change is in series of de-duplication of code in "Other permission"
section for various dropdowns.
Here rather than using "by_admins_only" and "by_admins_only" for `value`
attribute of options, we use actual numeric values. This helps in
de-duplicating lot of code which is vulnerable to bugs.
For few settings like `waiting_period_threshold` it makes sense to have the
"value" attribute of option to have a value other than the actual setting
value because multiple settings are depending upon this dropdown, so
handling them in JS code makes more sense. But for many settings (which has
integer values), we have followed a wrong trend over the time of
representing every new dropdown with human-readable values and manually
handling them in JS Code, where it makes more sense to use actual setting
value. The result of which is code has become less concise, sensible and
less likely to be mistaken.
This is a preliminary commit for upcoming change where we will use
"bot_creation_policy_values" like approach for many other settings where
dropdown represents the only single setting of integer type.
We now use vdom-ish techniques to track the
list items for the pm list. When we go to update
the list, we only re-render nodes whose data
has changed, with two exceptions:
- Obviously, the first time we do a full render.
- If the keys for the items have changed (i.e.
a new node has come in or the order has changed),
we just re-render the whole list.
If the keys are the same since the last re-render, we
only re-render individual items if their data has
changed.
Most of the new code is in these two modules:
- pm_list_dom.js
- vdom.js
We remove all of the code in pm_list.js that is
related to updating DOM with unread counts.
For presence updates, we are now *never*
re-rendering the whole list, since presence
updates only change individual line items and
don't affect the keys. Instead, we just update
any changed elements in place.
The main thing that makes this all work is the
`update` method in `vdom`, which is totally generic
and essentially does a few simple jobs:
- detect if keys are different
- just render the whole ul as needed
- for items that change, do the appropriate
jQuery to update the item in place
Note that this code seems to play nice with simplebar.
Also, this code continues to use templates to render
the individual list items.
FWIW this code isn't radically different than list_render,
but it's got some key differences:
- There are fewer bells and whistles in this code.
Some of the stuff that list_render does is overkill
for the PM list.
- This code detects data changes.
Note that the vdom scheme is agnostic about templates;
it simply requires the child nodes to provide a render
method. (This is similar to list_render, which is also
technically agnostic about rendering, but which also
does use templates in most cases.)
These fixes are somewhat related to #13605, but we
haven't gotten a solid repro on that issue, and
the scrolling issues there may be orthogonal to the
redraws. But having fewer moving parts here should
help, and we won't get the rug pulled out from under
us on every presence update.
There are two possible extensions to this that are
somewhat overlapping in nature, but can be done
one a time.
* We can do a deeper vdom approach here that
gets us away from templates, and just have
nodes write to an AST. I have this on another
branch, but it might be overkill.
* We can avoid some redraws by detecting where
keys are moving up and down. I'm not completely
sure we need it for the PM list.
If this gets merged, we may want to try similar
things for the stream list, which also does a fairly
complicated mixture of big-hammer re-renders and
surgical updates-in-place (with custom code).
BTW we have 100% line coverage for vdom.js.
We mostly needed this for Casper tests, and that
usage was eliminated in the prior commit.
There was also some strange defensive code from
ecc42bc9f8 that
is really ancient and which I am eliminating:
const email = row.attr("data-email");
if ($("#deactivation_user_modal .email").html() !== email) {
blueslip.error("User deactivation canceled due to non-matching fields.");
ui_report.message(i18n.t("Deactivation encountered an error. Please reload and try again."),
$("#home-error"), 'alert-error');
}
If the code was there to protect against live
updates for email changes, then we no longer
have to worry about that, since we use user_ids
now as keys.
Or it might have to do with some ancient bug
where you could pop open two modals at once
or something. You can actually change users while
the modal is open (which is kinda strange, but ok),
and it works fine.
When testing this, I ran into the glitch that we
don't open redraw the Deactivated Users panel after
going into the User panel and deactivating a user.
Now that we have the type situation of having anchor support passing a
string, this is a much more natural way to implement
use_first_unread_anchor.
We still support the old interface to avoid breaking compatibility
with legacy versions of the mobile apps.
This makes the code more readable, by just passing the anchor through
without changing its field name back and forth.
There's no reason for this parameter to involve parsing and integer --
it should be a number in all incoming code paths.
The feature is used for editing stream descriptions as well, and in
any case, what's important is that it's a content-editable widget (aka
a form of input box).
This fix recently went on master, although it
hasn't actually been deployed yet (not even to czo),
so user impact should be zero:
0fa67c84d8
The fix mostly improved things, but it broke the
logic for pill containers. The symptom was that
if you tried to autocomplete "Cordelia" in the
pill box we'd instead invoke the "c" hotkey and
try to compose to a stream.
In templates we determine checkboxes are disabled by using the following
`if` clause,
```
{{#if (or (and is_muted notification_setting) realm_setting_disabled)}}
disabled="disabled"
{{/if}}
```
and it is more intuitive to do such calculation in javascript code, so we
added an `if_disabled` attribute in `settings` context which replaces
logical operations from `if` statement.
So for non-notification settings, it is
```
is_disabled: check_realm_setting[setting]
```
where check_realm_setting[setting] is same as realm_setting_disabled.
and for notifiaction settings it is,
```
ret.is_disabled = check_realm_setting[setting] || sub.is_muted;
```
Profiles of typing in the Zulip webapp's compose box after opening the
stream creation widget showed that hotkey.processing_text was a
significant expense. There's no good reason for this -- the function
just needs to inspect the focused element; it just was written with a
sloppy selector.
While there's a secondary issue that, there's no good reason for this
extremely latency-sensitive code path (typing an additional character)
to be doing something extremely inefficient.
We now give "slight smile" precedence over
"small airplane" if you type "sm".
More generally, we favor popularity over prefix
matches for emoji matches, as long as the popular
emoji matches on any of its pieces.
I removed a slightly confusing code comment, which I
will address in a follow up commit. Basically,
"slight smile" still doesn't win over "small airplane"
when you search for "sm", which kind of defeats the
purpose of having popular_emojis for the typeahead
use case. This is a problem with sort_emojis, though,
so when the comment was next to the list of popular
emojis, it wasn't really actionable.
We are sweeping the codebase to use startsWith
when possible. I kept this on a separate
commit due to us vendoring the library, just
to reduce some noise.
Using startsWith is faster than indexOf, especially for long strings
and short prefixes. It's also a lot more readable. The only reason
we weren't using it was when a lot of the code was originally written,
it wasn't available.
We only convert the query to lowercase outside the
loop for an Nx speedup, where N = number of items.
And then we use startsWith instead of indexOf, which
means we don't senselessly search entire strings
for matches.
(We've had startsWith polyfills for a while now.)
Unfortunately, unless a string start with the
exact casing of the query, we still create an
entire lowercase copy of the string for the case
insensitive match. For the English use case
(and many other languages), we could further
optimize this by slicing the string before
converting it to lowercase.
Unfortunately, you have languages like German
with the straße/STRASSE problem. It's not clear
to me how we handle them with the current code,
but I don't want to break that yet.
We use the nice es6 syntax to create the get_item
helpers (in the callers and for the default
value in the function).
Also we use better es6 style for the looping.
This extracts get_emoji_matcher and all the
functions it depended on, most of which were
in composebox_typeahead.js.
We also move remove_diacritics out of the people
module.
This is the first major step for #13728.
Adding invited users to the notifications stream unconditionally isn't
a correct behaviour for guest users, where the previous behavior of
including the notifications stream no longer makes sense. Therefore,
while inviting a new user, the notifications stream is listed along
with other streams with a message "recieves notifications for new
streams" in order to distinguish it from other streams.
Fixes#13645.
We used to put the user's email in a value, which was
redundant (we could find the value from
our parent's label) and brittle (would break
on email changes).
Now the DOM's a bit slimmer and more robust.
Also note that we now deal with user_ids, not emails,
in the call stack until we hit the "edge" and convert
to emails for the server.
