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 streams:all adveritsement notice in search should only appear
after we've already received the response from the server, to avoid a
mix of problems ranging from misplaced loading indicator to scrolling
issues to the notice just being distracting while you're waiting for
the server to return results.
We need to add a pre_scroll_cont parameter to the message_fetch API,
since adding this notice would otherwise potentially throw off the
scroll positioning logic for which message to select.
Fixes#13441.
In 452e226ea2 and
648a60baf6, we changed how `search:`
narrows work to:
(1) Never mark messages as read inside searches (search:)
(2) Take you to the bottom, not the first unread, if a `near:` or
similar wasn't specified.
This is far better behavior for these use cases, because in these
narrows, you can't actually see all the context around the target
messages, so marking them as read is counterproductive. This is
especially important in `has:mention` where you goal is likely
specifically to keep track of which threads mentioning you haven't
been read. But in many other narrows, the current behavior is
effectively (1) setting the read bit on random messages and (2) if the
search term matches many messages in a muted stream with 1000s of
unreads, making it hard or impossible to find recent search matches.
The new behavior is that any narrow that is structurally a search of
history (including everything that that isn't a stream, topic,
pm-with, "all messages" or "private messages") gets that new behavior
of being unable to mark messages as read and narrows taking you to the
latest matching messages.
A few corner cases of interest:
* `is:private` is keeping the old behavior, because users on
chat.zulip.org found it confusing for `is:private` to not mark
messages as read when one could see them all. Possibly a more
complex answer is required here.
* `near:` narrows are getting the new behavior, even if it's a stream:
+ topic: narrow. This is debatable, but is probably better than
what was happening before.
Modified significantly by tabbott for cleanliness of implementation,
this commit message, and unit tests.
Fixes#9893. Follow-up to #12556.
The compose_state.recipient field was only actually the recipient for
the message if it was a private_message_recipient (in the sense of
other code); we store the stream in compose_state.stream instead.
As a result, the name was quite confusing, resulting in the
possibility of problematic correctness bugs where code assumes this
field has a valid value for stream messages. Fix this by changing it
to compose_state.private_message_recipient for clarity.
Fixes commit id 648a60baf6. When
allow_use_first_unread_when_narrowing() is false last message of
narrow is shown in view.
Comments rewritten by tabbott to explain in detail what's happening.
This commit was automatically generated by `tools/lint --only=eslint
--fix`, after an `.eslintrc.json` change.
A half dozen files were removed from the changes by tabbott pending
further work to ensure we avoid breaking valuable PRs with merge
conflicts.

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.

When a user performs a search that might contain historical public
streams messages that the user has access to (but doesn't because
we're searching the user's own personal history), we add a notice
above the first search result to let the user know that not all
messages may have been searched.
Fixes#12036.
After migration to an ES6 module, `messages_read_in_narrow` would no
longer be mutable from outside the module.

Commit 02413f9a1b introduced a bug
where any code reaching `if(operators('search')` would be executed,
which caused inputs where we didn't have the search operator to
throw an error when we do not find a search operan later.
At least one affected cases was narrowing to an empty topic.
Modified heavily by punchagan to correctly handle narrowing to huddles, and
for `group-pm-with` narrows. Also, fixed broken tests in the original PR.
Closes#5876
Some search queries always return empty because of how we handle search,
this adds text that ensures users trying bad searches realize that they
are doing so.
This changes the "new private message" button to be instead "new
conversation" when looking at PMs, to avoid confusion that the button
was the right thing to do to reply to the current private message
conversation.
Fixes#11679.
Changed <h5> to <p>, and removed the special formatting of
.empty_search_text to make this more in line with the formatting we
generally use with empty narrows.
Also adds relevant tests and documentation. We currently
do not narrow to a new topic, and instead just narrow to
the stream. Similarly, we do not narrow to a PM if any of
the recipients are invalid.
Before this change, if you hit ESC, then hotkey
code would call search.clear_search, which would
call narrow.deactivate(), which would then use
`$('#search_query')` to clear a value, but then
let search.clear_search blur the input and
disable the exit button. It was all confusing.
Things are a bit more organized now.
Now the code works like this:
hotkey.process_escape_key
Just call narrow.deactivate.
$('#search_exit').on('click', ...):
Just call narrow.deactivate.
narrow.deactivate:
Just call search.clear_search_form
search.clear_search_form:
Just do simple jquery stuff. Don't
change the entire user's narrow, not
even indirectly!
There's still a two-way interaction between
the narrow.js module and the search.js module,
but in each direction it's a one-liner.
The guiding principle here is that we only
want one top-level API, which is narrow.deactivate,
and that does the whole "kitchen sink" of
clearing searches, closing popovers, switching
in views, etc. And then all the functions it
calls out to tend to have much smaller jobs to
do.
This commit can mostly be considered a refactoring, but the
order of operations changes slightly. Basically, as
soon as you hit ESC or click on the search "X", we
clear the search widget. Most users won't notice
any difference, because we don't have to hit the
server to populate the home view. And it's arguably
an improvement to give more immediate feedback.
If a user is narrowed by `is:private`, `pm-with`, or `group-pm-with`,
change the `New topic` button to say `New stream message` instead for
added clarity.
Also, add to the Casper and Node tests for this behavior.
Fix#9072.
When visiting a narrow like
https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/doesnotexist, grey-out the reply
button and add the title `There are no messages to reply to.`
Also, add to the tests for `narrow.js` with
`#left_bar_compose_reply_button_big`.
Fix#8547.
This allows several modules to no longer need
to import `narrow` (or, in our current pre-import
world, to not have to use that global).
The broken dependencies are reflected in the node
tests, which should now run slightly faster.
