Here are the functions in top_left_corner:
get_global_filter_li: pure code move
update_count_in_dom: simplifed copy of similar function in stream_list.js
update_dom_with_unread_counts: pure code move, split out from function
of same name in stream_list.js
delselect_top_left_corner_items: pure code move
handle_narrow_activated: pure code move + rename
handle_narrow_deactivated: pure code move, split out from from function
of smae name in stream_list.js
This fix simplifies how we re-render topic lists when we
re-narrow or zoom out from a topic list.
* The topic_list.zoom_out() no longer gets called as
part of re-narrowing, and we eliminate the clear_topics
option.
* For all situations where we narrow to a filter that does
not have a topic, we simply call the new function
clear_topics().
* The stream_list code no longer calls remove_expanded_topics()
in cases where the new narrow has a topic. This allows us
to optimize away scroll/flicker churn a little more easily.
As part of this, we rename maybe_activate_stream_item() to
update_stream_sidebar_for_narrow(), since the function clears
stuff as well as turning stuff on.
We have code that can automatically scroll an element into "view"
in its container. We use this for stream sidebar rows inside the
stream list.
Generally the stream sidebar rows are small enough to fit into
the container, and the prior algorithm worked correctly for that
scenario.
If you have lots of topics, however, and a short screen, the
algorithm was being too aggressive. For example, if the top
wasn't showing, it would scroll the top into view, but at the
cost of scrolling the bottom out of view.
This fix makes the general scrolling algorithm more tame.
Part of the user-facing problem is that the element we pass
into the scrolling code for the stream sidebar rows is bigger
than the part of the row that actually should be shown on
screen. Nevertheless, it makes sense here to make the general
algorithm more robust.
This new module tracks the recent topic names for any given
stream.
The code was pulled over almost verbatim from stream_data.js,
with minor renames to the function names.
We introduced a minor one-line function called stream_has_topics.
We eliminate `.get(0)` calls in buld_stream_list.
The easy case is that we stop building jQuery objects
for the splitters only to pull out the DOM immediately.
The more subtle case is that we also don't do `.get(0)` calls
to get DOM out of our individual list items. By passing
in full jQuery objects to `append()`, we should prevent ourself
from orphaning the old objects, which may in the future have
things like tooltip logic attached to them.
This commit add $.create(), which allows you to create a
jQuery object that just has a name to identify it, as opposed
to some selector or HTML fragment. It's useful for things that
are really used as stubs.
This also fixes a bunch of the existing tests to use $.create().
Before this fix, you could actually just do $('some-stub'), but
now we enforce that the input to $() looks like a valid selector
or HTML fragment, and we make some exceptions for things like
window-stub and document-stub.
Hopefully this will make it more explicit that zjquery does
not truly simulate DOM, but it instead allows you to dynamically
set what you want the results of $('foo').find(some_selector)
to be.
Before this commit, we were erroneously setting up parents
as part of add_child() calls, but it's not necessarily the
case that those children are immediate children, and therefore
the first object is not necessarily the immediate parent.
We use zjquery now for testing stream_list.js, which runs faster
than the real jQuery and allows some test isolation. The nature
of the test is basically the same, but we don't actually render
templates. Instead of making assertions about the DOM, we are
now making assertions about how the stream lists get constructed
from other elements.
Rather than having get_stream_li() look up stream id using
stream name, we force the callers to pass in the stream id.
This adds an extra line to most of the callers for now, but
this will eventually change as we fix some of the callers to
have their callers pass in stream_id.
In places where we now call stream_data.get_stream_id() to
get the stream id, we will be more resilient toward stream
renamings, at least until the next reload, since
stream_data.get_stream_id() can resolve old names that
are stored when we process stream-rename events.
It turns out the check to make sure that "social" filtered to
the bottom could give a false positive, since it was already
alphabetically at the end of the list.
So, I call the stream "cars" now instead, so that it only comes
after "Denmark" if the is_active flag gets respected.
I also check for the divider tags now.
Before this change, we would move "dormant" streams to the bottom
of your stream sidebar, but only if you had 40+ streams.
Now we do this in all cases to be more consistent.
This commit also changes the redraw strategy when we remove rows.
Before this change, we were doing incremental updates, but now we
call build_stream_list to do a complete rebuild. This was partly
motivated by adding the new divider, which would have complicated
the incrememental approach when you removed the last remaining
dormant stream.
The pinned streams were sorted in alphabetic order (i.e. Verona appears
before devel). The reason is that after we plucked pinned streams out from
stream_data.subscribed_streams(), we didn't sort them again, so they
remained in the alphabetic order used in stream_data.
However, we did sort unpinned streams explicitly by using custom compare
function in stream_list.js (by default sort by lowercase stream name,
but when there are more than 40 subscribed streams, sort active streams
first). That's why this issue only relates to pinned streams.
Changes were made to sort pinned streams by lowercase stream name, always,
whether they are active or not (different from unpinned streams).
Tests were added to ensure this overall sort order is correct, i.e.
1. pinned streams are always sorted by lowercase stream name.
2. pinned streams are always before unpinned streams.
3. unpinned streams are sorted by lowercase stream name, if there are more
than 40 subscribed streams, sort active streams at the top, among active
and inactive streams, still sorted by lowercase stream name.
Fixes#3701
We now trigger an event in user_events.js, and we dynamically
build the list of names in pm_list.js by calling out to
people.get_recipients().
We have a few variations of functions that build lists of names
for huddles, which should be cleaned up eventually. They are
called at different times in the code path, so the different
functions, while doing mostly the same thing, start with different
data sources.
The fix works by having build_stream_sidebar_row()
automatically update its own unread count when we
build a sidebar row. Currently we rebuild sidebar
rows when we pin/unpin rows.
As an aside, we currently don't really need to rebuild
the sidebar row when we pin, since we're only moving
the DOM, not altering it. But this may change in the
future, so I decided to leave that code path in place.
We may decide to do things in the future like showing
pinned streams with bolder fonts or special icons or
whatever.
Fixes#2902
* In most cases, eslint --fix with the right comma-dangle settings was
able to update the code correctly.
* The exceptions were cases where the parser incorrectly treated the
arguments to functions like `assert_equal` as arguments; we fixed
these manually. Since this is test code, we can be reasonably
confident that just fixing the failures suffices to correct any bugs
introduced by making changes automatically.
We used to have hacky code where various functions would call
build_stream_sidebar_row() to get a jQuery object, and then they
would attach the jQuery object to the "sub" object from stream_data.js.
Now build_stream_sidebar_row() localizes the hack of attaching
a UI object to the "sub" object to just one function (and we can
clean this up in a follow-up commit).
Also, the UI object is now a JS object that can close on some useful
state information like the stream name and encapsulate how we
toggle the inactive_stream class.
Finally, we don't have build_stream_sidebar_row() needlessly append
list items to $('#stream_filters') when we know that our callers are
going to re-build the list anyway.
This moves one method over from stream_list.js. There's still a
lot of boilerplate here, unfortunately, as topic lists have a lot
of dependencies on other parts of the system--narrowing state,
muting state, jQuery, handlebars, etc.
Now we just have two methods of importance:
compile_template
render_template
The compile_template() function will automatically
(and recursively) compile any partials it depends
on and mark those as compiled.
This replaces add_stream_to_sidebar(), which was kind of a misleading
name, and it also adds a couple lines of code that were always
called right after calling add_stream_to_sidebar().
This reverts commit be93b6ea28.
Unfortunately, the newer jquery comes with a huge performance
regression affecting the hotkeys code, which has the effect of making
typing super slow.
Fixes: #1449.
