We hide a conversation from the top-left corner PM list if
it is-
* A 1:1 PM where the other user has been muted, or
* Huddle where all users have been muted.
Previously, we used to do a kind of "local echo"
whenever the user muted/unmuted a topic. Meaning,
we used to do most of the UI update work before making
the API call to mute the topic, instead of after
receiving the `muted_topics` event. This behavior
has been so since the beginning of time
(b4b6fa14d3) and isn't ideal because:
1. If the request fails on the backend, the UI
could end up in an incorrect state.
2. Adds code complexity.
3. Makes it difficult to catch bugs related to
live-update (like the one fixed by
f725711ff2).
4. Isn't consistent with other parts of the
codebase, which do the UI update while handling
events.
This commit makes it so that all the UI update
work is done only after recieving the `muted_topics`
event.
The only possible issue with this strategy could
be users sending another duplicate request in the small
time span before receiving the event. But that isn't
a big problem, because all requests involved here are
idempotent, and the worst that can happen is a HTTP 400.
This commit makes it so that muted users never appear
in the right sidebar buddy list, filter text or not.
The hiding is done in the frontend only, and we still
recieve presence data from the server as before, so
no extra work is required on unmuting someone, other
than to rerender the user list.
Long term if we find that there are too many muted users,
we may want to optimize how we send presence data, but
that is unlikely to happen.
The other less extreme option is to gray out muted users,
but that cannot be done because it would conflict
with the graying out we do for non-recipients when the
compose box is open.
Since the "mute users" feature isn't complete yet,
this UI is shown only in development setups.
Ideally we should have had this commit after the whole
feature was completed and merged, but doing so makes it
difficult to test and merge subparts of the feature one by
one (which is a better workflow, while we still decide what
exactly we want this feature to do).
This commit adds a new button in the user info popover
to mute or unmute the user, and uses a confirmation
dialog while muting, because muting a user accidently can lead
to the muter losing out on a lot of information.
TODOs when making this UI visible in production-
1. Make a /help page and link to it from the confirmation
dialog and the API docs.
Muted users are stored in a map with key as user ID and
the value as the timestamp of muting.
Names can be easily fetched from existing functions
in `people.js` and hence not stored.
This is a prep commit for implementing mute users feature, which
renames this function to be more specific. This function cannot be
used as-is for user mutes, because for user-muted messages, we always
want to rerender the message list, irrespective of what
`excludes_muted_users` is.
In muting_ui.js, we also remove an unnecessary conditional that is
already handled by update_topic_muting_and_rerender itself.
Previously, the recent-topics view did not update when the webapp
received `muted_topics` events.
The final state was correct **only** on the client which was used to
mute/unmute the topic, because we update the UI even before sending
the request to the server to mute/unmute the topic.
This commit fixes that by rerendering the recent-topics table when the
client receives `muted_topics` events. While doing so can be
expensive, it is likely unavoidable, because we may want to even
remove the topic from the recent-topics table, and we don't know
exactly which topic was affected (we just get an updated list of all
muted topics from the event).
Even though rerendering is expensive, it should not affect the user
experience, because a rerender will be trriggered only in the clients
which did not do the (un)muting (and hence, the user was probably not
interacting with these clients when the event was received). The
`last_topic_update` variable makes sure that this is the case.
Previously, the `muting_enabled` property of
MessageListData class was used to indicate whether
some messages in the message list need to be
filtered due to topic muting, depending on the
narrow. For example, we exclude messages belonging
to muted topics from stream narrows, but not from
search narrows.
The name `muting_enabled` is a bit confusing, and hence is
changed to `excludes_muted_topics`.
It is also important that the name be specific, since
a similar new property will be added for user mutes
in future commits.
This is a prep commit, which renames some variables
and functions involved in topic muting to include
the word "topic" in them.
This is done to have clarity when similar code
will be added as a part of the mute-user in
future commits.
ES and TypeScript modules are strict by default and don’t need this
directive. ESLint will remind us to add it to new CommonJS files and
remove it from ES and TypeScript modules.

We have changed our all instances of list_render to use
simplebar and thus, we will now use simplebar container
to track scroll event for all the lists created by
list_render.
This fixes the bug of new subscribers not rendering on
scrolling at the end of subscriber list in stream settings
and similar bug in some other lists also.
This commit also removes scroll_util.get_list_scrolling_container
function as this is no longer used.
Fixes#15637.
The set_up_muted_topics_ui and templates have been
refactored to use list_render.
This is done to support filtering and sorting of
the muted stream topics.
This also includes the addition of a new Date muted header.
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.
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.
