This commit shifts our timestamp syntax to be of the form:
<span class="timestamp data-timestamp="123456"></span>
since value is not a valid attribute of span elements.
This adds support for syntax like: !time(Jun 7 2017, 6:30 PM) so that
everyone sees the time in their own local timezone. This can be used
when scheduling online meetings, etc.
This adds some hardcoded values for timezones, because of there
being no sureshot way of determining the timezone easily. However,
since the main way of using the feature should be a typeahead for
entering the time, this shouldn't be cause of much concern.
Fixes#5176.
This setting is being overridden by the frontend since the last
commit, and the security model is clearer and more robust if we don't
make it appear as though the markdown processor is handling this
issue.

This refactoring is the first step toward sharing
our markdown code with mobile. This focuses on
the Zulip layer, not the underlying third party `marked`
library.
In this commit we do a one-time initialization to
wire up the markdown functions, but after further
discussions with Greg, it might make more sense
to just pass in helpers on every use of markdown
(which is generally only once per sent message).
I'll address that in follow-up commits.
Even though it looks like a pretty invasive change,
you will note that we barely needed to modify the
node tests to make this pass. And we have pretty
decent test coverage here.
All of the places where we used to depend on
other Zulip modules now use helper functions that
any client (e.g. mobile) can configure themselves.
Or course, in the webapp, we configure these from
modules like people/stream_data/hash_util/etc.
Even in places where markdown used to deal directly with
data structures from other modules, we now use functions.
We may revisit this in a future commit, and we might
just pass data directly for certain things.
I decided to keep the helpers data structure completely flat,
so we don't have ugly nested names like
`helpers.emoji.get_emoji_codepoint`. Because of this,
some of the names aren't 1:1, which I think is fine.
For example, we map `user_groups.is_member_of` to
`is_member_of_user_group`.
It's likely that mobile already has different names
for their versions of these functions, so trying for
fake consistency would only help the webapp. In some
cases, I think the webapp functions have names that
could be improved, but we can clean that up in future
commits, and since the names aren't coupled to markdown
itself (i.e. only the config), we will be less
constrained.
It's worth noting that `marked` has an `options`
data structure that it uses for configuration, but
I didn't piggyback onto it, since the `marked`
options are more at the lexing/parsing layer vs.
the app-data layer stuff that our helpers mostly
help with.
Hopefully it's obvious why I just put helpers in
the top-level namespace for the module rather than
passing it around through multiple layers of the
parser.
There were a couple places in markdown where we
were doing awkward `hasOwnProperty` checks for
emoji-related stuff. Now we use the Python
principle of ask-forgiveness-not-permission and
just handle the getters returning falsy data. (It
should be `undefined`, but any falsy value is
unworkable in the places I changed, so I use
the simpler, less brittle form.)
We also break our direct dependency on
`emoji_codes.json` (with some help from the
prior commit).
In one place I rename streamName to stream_name,
fixing up an ancient naming violation that goes
way back to before this code was even extracted
away from echo.js. I didn't bother to split this
out into a separate commit, since 2 of the 4
lines would be immediately re-modified in the
subsequent commit.
Note that we still depend on `fenced_code`
via the global namespace, instead of simply
requiring it directly or injecting it. The
reason I'm postponing any action there is that
we'll have to change things once we move
markdown into a shared library. (The most
likely outcome is that we'll rename/move both files
at the same time and fix the namespace/require
details as part of that commit.)
Also the markdown code still relies on `_` being
available in the global namespace. We aren't
quite ready to share code with mobile yet, but the
underscore dependency should not be problematic,
since mobile already uses underscore to use the
webapp's shared typing_status module.
This mostly moves logic into people.js.
The people functions added here are glorified
two-liners.
One thing that changes here is that we
are a bit more rigorous about duplicate
names.
The code is slightly awkward, because this
commit preserves the strange behavior
that if 'alice|42' doesn't match on
the user with the name "alice" and user_id
"42", we instead look for a user whose
name is "alice|42". That seems like a
misfeature to me, but there's a test for
it, so I want to check with Tim that it's not
intentional behavior before I simplify
the code.
We add this API to emoji.js, so that markdown
doesn't need to look at internal data structures
(or even need to understand any kind of record
format for results).
Here are the functions:
get_realm_emoji_url()
get_emoji_name()
get_emoji_codepoint()
We use the API now in markdown, which eliminates
the need for the markdown parser to require
the emoji JSON file.
Each function has a simple docstring:
get_emoji_name('1f384') === 'holiday_tree'
get_emoji_codepoint('avocado') === '1f951'
get_realm_emoji_url('shrug') === '/user_avatars/2/emoji/images/31.png'
Also we have simple test coverage for the API
(including tests that verify the docstrings).
This name was misleading, because we weren't
actually setting realm_filters (that's what
`page_params.realm_filters = realm_filters`
is for); we were instead updating our
realm filter rules.
We are gonna phase out util.get_message_topic()
in our entire codebase eventually, but we
certainly don't need it here, since the local
echo codepath is using brand new objects that
we construct inside the compose code, and
there's no danger of legacy "subject" data.
My goal for the markdown code is to keep it
free of any accidental dependencies that we
can easily avoid, as I think there's some
possible future where we split out the code
as its own library for people who want to
render Zulip markdown in non-core projects.
These functions were just shims that were
used in the somewhat painful migration from
subject_* to topic_*.
The commit 4572be8c27
fixed it so that the client never needs to
deal with "subject_links".
So now we just go back to simpler code:
message.topic_links = links
links = message.topic_links
We now handle the all/everyone/stream case at
the top of userMentionHandler.
Previously the code would do strange things
in the case that some user had the name "all"
or "everyone" or "stream". It would only
affect local echo, and maybe we prevent users
from having those names, so I doubt there
were any real user-facing issues here.
But the new code is clearly more simple and
more correct.
Most of this logic is specific to markdown
message processing, so we move the code to
markdown.js.
The only responsibility that we leave with
`emoji.js` is to provide us with a list
of translations (regex and replacement text).
But now `markdown.js` actually (directly) executes
those translations against Zulip messages
as part of its preprocessing.
This should simplify the upcoming mobile conversion.
Instead of mobile needing to duplicate this fairly
complex function, they will just need to pass
us in a list similar to `emoji_translations` inside
of `emoji.js`. That code has a comment that shows
what the data structure looks like.
We now treat util like a leaf module and
use "require" to import it everywhere it's used.
An earlier version of this commit moved
util into our "shared" library, but we
decided to wait on that. Once we're ready
to do that, we should only need to do a
simple search/replace on various
require/zrequire statements plus a small
tweak to one of the custom linter checks.
It turns out we don't really need util.js
for our most immediate code-sharing goal,
which is to reuse our markdown code on
mobile. There's a little bit of cleanup
still remaining to break the dependency,
but it's minor.
The util module still calls the global
blueslip module in one place, but that
code is about to be removed in the next
few commits.
I am pretty confident that once we start
sharing things like the typeahead code
more aggressively, we'll start having
dependencies on util. The module is barely
more than 300 lines long, so we'll probably
just move the whole thing into shared
rather than break it apart. Also, we
can continue to nibble away at the
cruftier parts of the module.
webpack optimizes JSON modules using JSON.parse("{…}"), which is
faster than the normal JavaScript parser.
Update the backend to use emoji_codes.json too instead of the three
separate JSON files.

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.
This required lots of manual testing:
- search/navigate user presence
- send PM and mention user
- pay attention to compose fade
- send stream msg and mention user
- open Private Messages in top-left and click
- test unread counts
- invite user who already has account
- search for users in search bar
- check user settings
- User Groups
- Users
- Deactivated Users
- Bots
- create a bot
- mention user groups
- send group PM then click on lower right
- view/edit/create streams
If there are still pieces of code that don't convert
ids to ints, the code should still work but report
blueslip errors.
I try to mostly convert user_ids to ints in the callers,
since often the callers are dealing with small amounts
of data, like user ids from huddles.
If a message begins with /me, we do not have any cases where the
rendered content would not begin with `<p>/me`. Thus, we can safely
remove the redundant checks both on the backend and frontend.
This commit was originally automatically generated using `tools/lint
--only=eslint --fix`. It was then modified by tabbott to contain only
changes to a set of files that are unlikely to result in significant
merge conflicts with any open pull request, excluding about 20 files.
His plan is to merge the remaining changes with more precise care,
potentially involving merging parts of conflicting pull requests
before running the `eslint --fix` operation.

With webpack, variables declared in each file are already file-local
(Global variables need to be explicitly exported), so these IIFEs are
no longer needed.

This brings us in line, and also allows us to style these more like
unordered lists, which is visually more appealing.
On the backend, we now use the default list blockprocessor + sane list
extension of python-markdown to get proper list markup; on the
frontend, we mostly return to upstream's code as they have followed
CommonMark on this issue.
Using <ol> here necessarily removes the behaviour of not renumbering
on lists written like 3, 4, 7; hopefully users will be OK with the
change.
Fixes#12822.
Our implementation requires at least 1 space after the
'#' not not break existing linkifiers like '#123', etc.
that generally follow the convention we show in linkifier
examples.
- [valid] : # Hello
- [valid] : # Hello
- [invalid]: #Hello
For the frontend, we have taken the code from v0.7.0 of
upstream marked and made minor changes to avoid having
to refactor a significant part of our marked code.
For the backend, we merely have to change the regex to
force require spaces after #, and add hashheader to our
list of blockparsers.
Fixes#11418.
We reuse the link regexes we use elsewhere inn markdown
for parsing links in topic names and add a button to open
them in new tabs similar to our behavior with linkifiers
in topic names.
Fixes#12391.
This fixes an issue where blank lines between blocks were causing
auto-numbering of list to stop before the blank line resulting
in two separate numbered list instead of one.
Edited significantly by tabbott to explain the tricky details in the
comments.
Fixes: #11651.
For consistency, we should keep all the code that works with
@mentions in markdown.js. In this case, message_list_view was
rewriting the contents of the mentions in cases where users'
names had been changed since we rendered their mention.
This change should help people discover to distinguish
silent mentions in text as a part of Zulip syntax while
differentiating them from regular mentions.
We swallow the error if our python_to_js_filter code is
unable to parse some python regex properly. This ensures
that the web app stays responsive.
We would fail to show an accurate local echo for these
regexes, however, the backend would act as the final
authority for handling the realm pattern conversion.
Since on replacing the first 'P<>' group, we remove this text from
the string, we have to make the RegExp start looking from index 0
again to properly convert later 'P<>' groups to JS regex syntax.
On the backend, we extend the BlockQuoteProcessor's clean function that
just removes '>' from the start of each line to convert each mention to
have the silent mention syntax, before UserMentionPattern is invoked.
The frontend, however, has an edge case where if you are mentioned in
some message and you quote it while having mentioned yourself above
the quoted message, you wouldn't see the red highlight till we get the
final rendered message from the backend.
This is such a subtle glitch that it's likely not worth worrying about.
Fixes#8025.
These mentions look like regular mentions except they do not
trigger any notification for the person mentioned. These are
primarily to be used when you make a bot take an action and
the bot mentions you, or when you quote a message that mentions
you.
Fixes#11221.
Previously, messages with more than one line did not parse '/me' at
the beginning of the message. Since there's a reasonable way to
render multi-line messages, this commit adds support for doing so.
This change does potentially break with the expected behavior of other
slash commands, but it seems worth providing useful functionality over
a blind focus on consistency.
Fixes#11025.
