Important changes in this commit:
* We only cache message list for "Combined feed" if it is the
default view.
* We modify existing handling of home message list code so that
it can be used to for any message list that we want to cache
using a new `preserve_rendered_state` variable.
* narrow_state.filter() returns the filter of combined feed view list
instead of `undefined`.
* We start fetching messages from the latest message on app load.
* Messages in all messages data and Recent view are always synced.
* If combined feed view list is not cached, we don't track it's
last pointer, effectively sending user to the latest unread
message always .
We want to make the default stream listing more relevant. To do this,
we always show "All streams" tab when stream is opened from another
user's profile. From other places, we show "Subscribed" if the user
is subscribed to the stream they are trying to edit otherwise
"All streams" are shown.
We want to make default group listing in left panel more relevant.
Thus "All groups" are shown when group is opened from another user's
profile. From other places, "Your groups" are shown if the user is in
the group they are trying to edit otherwise "All groups" are shown.
There were couple of problems in our handling of invalid or
incomplete URLs-
- The browser back button behavior breaks if someone enters
url with invalid group ID, incorrect group name.
- On typing group edit URLs with invalid group ID, an error
was raised and the URLs remained the same with just opening
the groups overlay with "Your" tab selected in left panel.
- On typing group edit URLs with incorrect right side tab or
without any right side tab, we showed "general" section, which
is fine, but the URL was still incorrect.
This commit fixes the above mentioned problems-
- URLs with invalid group IDs are now handled gracefully
with groups UI opening in the same way as before but the
url is updated to "#groups/your".
- We now update the right side tab to "general" if right
side tab is invalid or there is no right side tab.
- All the URL updates to fix invalid urls are done using
"history.replaceState" to make sure the browser back button
behaves as expected.
- All the code for checking the urls is done in hashchange.js
itself, so we can remove some code from change_state.
There were couple of problems in our handling of invalid or
incomplete URLs-
- The browser back button behavior breaks if someone enters
url with invalid or inaccessible stream ID, incorrect stream
name, "#streams/new" url without permission to create streams.
- On typing stream edit URLs with incorrect right side tab or
without any right side tab, we showed "general" section, which
is fine, but the URL was still incorrect.

The url hash for a group edit view now includes "general" or
"members" in the end depending upon which tab is selected in
the right section.
Fixes#28678.
Clicking on "View profile" option now dynamically generates a URL,
allowing the user profile modal to open. Upon closing the modal,
the URL is reverted back to one that was active before the modal
was opened.
Additionally, It displays a profile access error modal when a user
attempts to either view an inaccessible profile or when an invalid
user id is present in the URL.
Fixes#28445.
For spectators, the chunk of page_params that originates from
do_events_register isn’t assigned until ui_init.js. That means the
TypeScript type of page_params is mostly a lie during module load
time: reading a parameter too early silently results in undefined
rather than the declared type, with unpredictable results later on.
We want to make such an early read into an immediate runtime error,
for both users and spectators consistently, and pave the way for
runtime validation of the page_params type. As a first step, split
out the subset of fields that pertain to the current user.

From `get_current_nth_hash_section` `get_nth_hash_section()` is
extracted to allow for reuse for any hash. The indexing is also changed
to 0-based and negative indexing also works now.
This is a prep commit for the next, where `get_nth_hash_section()` will
be used in a new function with negative indexing.
There is no problem in behavior of browser back button if we open
the group settings overlay using "#groups/your", "#groups/all" or
"#groups/new" url hash, but someone can directly go to a link with
"#groups" and in this case we want to fix the browser back button.
This commit replaces "#groups" entry with "#groups/your" which is the
default section opened, such that pressing back when on "#groups/your"
does not go to "#groups", which will then a form a cycle and instead
go back actually.
Operand is a confusing name because this
data structure has an attribute *called*
operand. This commit renames references to
this structure to "term", short for "search
term".
This should now happen at the same time it did prior to this change,
without requiring the show_all_message_view wrapper to have any
business logic.
This fixes a potential scroll position bug in the event that
narrow.deactivate in fact calls itself recursively after a timeout.
We already do a very parallel construction in narrow.activate, so this
moves us towards being able to unify those code paths, while also just
being more readable by avoiding a small-but-important wrapper function
in hashchange.js.
I believe this fixes a bug where we were not saving scroll position in
browser history when navigating to "All messages" from another view.
Since at least 6ef0753a51, it's been the
case that narrow.activate already hides the inbox/recent views if
open, and the same is true for all messages.
Fixing the duplicate call is important in show_home_view, because
show_all_message_view relies on having an accurate value for whether the
recent/inbox views were already open in order to correctly update the
left sidebar.
Testing experimentally, removing the setTimeout seems to fix a visible
flicker when using Esc to navigate to "All messages" from the Inbox
view. That setTimeout has been moved around without real examination
since 5d79bb6a20 from early 2013; I
don't see any good reason why it would make be necessary only in the
"All messages" code path, and not when narrowing to any other view.
There's no good reason to have the caller of deactivate pass this
parameter in.
This effectively reverts a18b1662cb,
which did this as part of trying to avoid an import cycle, with a more
appropriate solution using the existing message_scroll_state module.
Importantly, it also means that we again wait for scrolls longer than
50ms to finish before opening All messages; I think this might fix a
regression.
This commit renames default_view and escape_navigates_to_default_view
settings to web_home_view and web_escape_navigates_to_home_view in
database and API to match with our recent renaming of user facing
strings related to this.
We also rename the variables, functions, comments in code and class
names and IDs for elements related to this.
Modals like those for Read receipts, Schedule message, Message edit
history, User profile, etc would not close when the hash changed.
Now we close any active modal whenever the hash changes; we add a new
function in `modals.ts` to do this, and call it from `hashchange.js`.
We call show_default_view in various places which didn't use to
check if the other views are hidden. This can cause multiple views
to be visible at the same time.
For example: If inbox is the default view and you press escape
from recent topics, both recent topics and inbox will be visible.
This saves the blue box position as state on the location
in brower history, with `history.replaceState`.
The position is restored when a narrow is activated.
Fixes#20066.
Recent Topics is hidden when we switch to a narrow view
or the All Messages view, so this call is not needed.
It will also become actively unhelpful when we build
a stream-specific recent topics page, because then it
will be possible to have a hash change that shouldn't
close the recent topics view.
This includes changing the URL to #settings/preferences, with a
transparent redirect so that existing links, like the one from Welcome
Bot, continue to work.
This is logic from 10 years ago (dbc4798594)
that is no longer relevant. It seems like we used to show the
search bar open all the time and only showed the buttons when
there was focus in the search bar. Now we close the search bar
when it's not being used, and no longer need to update button
visibility or disable the search close button.
Setting empty hash `#` scrolls user to the top of message feed if
done via `window.location.hash` or using browser back / forward button.
To avoid this, we set don't set `hash` after org URL for default view
when user uses `escape` key or clicks on org logo.
In other situations, we explicitly set the hash of the view.
This avoids a bug where during a browser initiated hashchange
(via back/forward/manually typed URL) browser sets the scroll
position of the current hash based on its memory of the scroll
position of the new hash.
Fixes#24641
When the user clicks on a link which has `stopPropagation`
and doesn't trigger `scroll`, then we don't hide any existing
popovers if the element being clicked doesn't hide popovers
explicitly.
To fix this, we hide all popovers on change in hash which makes sense
on its own given how we use hashes.
There was a direct dependency between `admin.js` and `settings.js` which
was due to the fact that we needed to call `build_page` of both modules
in each other's `launch` function.
This is solved by lifting those `build_page` calls up from both modules to
`hashchange.js` which is the module which calls the `launch` function
of both modules.
