This commit renames the html_yes_button parameter of confirm
dialog widget to html_submit_button and also all the related
variables in confirm_dialog.js.
This will help in keeping a general name when deduplicating
the code for confirm_dialog and edit_fields_modal.
The parameter passed to 'handle_topic_updates' is 'muted_topics'
and there is also a javascript file with same name.
So 'muted_topics.get_muted_topics' gives error, and this commit
fixes this by changing the parametr name to 'muted_topics_list'.
This was introduced in 5f74e78bee.
We split recent_topics module into recent_topics_(ui + data + util).
This allows us to reduce cyclical dependencies which were
created due to large list of imports in recent topics. Also, this
refactor on its own makes sense.
We use styling same as that of the number shown for overflow
(e.g "+3") which has a gray background.
To keep these avatars up-to-date, we need to rerender the
recent topics view after receiving a `muted_users` event.
Also update the user documentation to mention this detail.
We deliberately avoid mentioning "recent topics" because
this applies to mobile too.
Also link to it from the API documentation page,
other help pages, and the confirmation dialog for
muting a user.

* We hide 1:1 PMs from and to muted users throughout
the UI, because doing so will not lead to loss of
conversational context. The "to" part is also important,
because the last few messages sent to a user before
muting them would probably be asking them to stop
spamming.
* After this change, we will need to do filtering for either
user or topic muting in pretty much all narrows, so we need
to keep the `_all_items` list in MessageListData always
up-to-date.
* A further commit will relax this and make it possible to
view these messages only when in a `pm-with/muted_user`
narrow.
This basically reverts 4bd7ec7c36 and
3a9dfc02e6.
The plan earlier was to have compeletely different codepaths
for user and topic muting, so that we could call seperate
functions in the message list class on receiving the respective
events.
However, this cannot be done, because if we, for example, on
receiving a `muted_users` event, filter `_all_items` based on
just user mutes, and store the result in `_items`, then, that
result may still contain topic-muted messages, which is
undesirable. Hence whenever we filter messages, we must do so
based on both user as well as topic muting.
(The code for the former will be added in further commits.)
So, we will have a single function which will handle updating
the message lists for muting.
* We hide the sender and reactions on messages sent by muted
users, and replace the content with a "This message was hidden"
dialog.
* Ideally, we should collapse a series of consequetive
messages sent by muted users into one such dialog, but
that could break the cursor behaviour and `near/<message_id`
links, so we as of now show one dialog per muted message.
* Because we hide the sender, there is a chance of the first
hidden message in a group looking like it was sent by the
author of the message above it. To tackle this, we intentionally
make the hidden message dialog float-left, so that it is clear
that this is a special type of message.
* For context, we still show the timestamp of the message.
* Starring, editing, deleting etc a message still work just like
before.
A further commit will add the ability to reveal a
hidden message.
We are restricting the feedback widget (confirmation pop-up)
to be visible to the users if they have muted the topic using
the hotkey: `M`, because if the users have muted the topic in
some other way then it is known to them about their activity.
In fact, the confirmation pop-up was intrusive to some users
(see #2367).
While using the hotkey they can unknowingly mute the topic. Hence, in
such a case, it is necessary to acknowledge the users about their
action.
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

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.
