Without an explicit type annotation, mypy infers the type of
values in `page_params` upon its initialization as a `Union`, while
other computed values haven't been assigned yet. We break this
over-conservative inferred type by annotating `page_params` as a
`Dict[str, object]`.
We could have created a `TypedDict` to have accurate type annotation
for all of the fields, but it does not seem worth it at this point since
the data structure is not widely used in the backend.

In very large communities, computing page_params can be quite
expensive. Because we've moved the homepage for communities with web
public streams enabled to be the Zulip app, and it's common for
automation to frequently poll the homepage of a Zulip organization,
we'd like to keep those homepages cheap (as the login pages are).
We address this by prototyping something we may end up wanting to do
anyway -- having the web application do a `POST /register` API call in
order to fetch most page_params, and merging those with the mostly
webapp configuration page_params that we leave in the / response for
convenience.
This exact implementation is messy in a few ways:
* We rely on the assumption that ui_init.initialize_everything happens
before all code that needs to inspect the page_params properties we
are fetching via /register. This is likely mostly true, but nothing
in the implementation enforces it.
* The bundle of ~25 keys that are in page_params ideally would be
considered individually, with some moved to the /register API
response and perhaps others eliminated or namespaced inside a
webapp_settings object.
* It's weird to have the spectators network sequence different that
from logged-in users, and potentially a maintainability risk.
* We might be able to arrange that the initial `/` response be
cacheable, now that we're no longer embedding our metadata inside
it. We've made no effort to do that as of yet.
Despite those issues, this commit solves an immediate problem and will
give us helpful experience with a model closer to the one we'll want
in order to happily support a web client that can be run locally
against a production Zulip server's data.

Previously, we were masking the realm_description raw Markdown with
rendered Markdown, which was a type error.
When we switch to calling /register explicitly in a few commits, this
results in a bug, since the raw Markdown ends up taking priority.
Fix this by just using a different name for this different concept.
It is confusing to have the plan type constants not be namespaced
by the thing they represent. We already have a namespacing
convention in place for constants, so we should use it for
Realm.plan_type as well.
This utilizes the generic `BaseNotes` we added for multipurpose
patching. With this migration as an example, we can further support
more types of notes to replace the monkey-patching approach we have used
throughout the codebase for type safety.
We added "user_settings" object containing all the user settings in
previous commit. This commit modifies the code to send the existing
setting fields in the top-level object only if user_settings_object
client_capabilities field is False.
This commit adds "user_settings_object" field to
client_capabilities which will be used to determine
if the client needs 'update_display_settings' and
'update_global_notifications' event.
Return zulip_merge_base alongside zulip_version
in `/register`, `/event` and `/server_settings`
endpoint so that the value can be used by other
clients.
This concludes the HttpRequest migration to eliminate arbitrary
attributes (except private ones that are belong to django) attached
to the request object during runtime and migrated them to a
separate data structure dedicated for the purpose of adding
information (so called notes) to a HttpRequest.
This commits removes the redundant `compute_show_invites` function
which computes the `show_invites` page parameter in `lib/users.py`.
It is so because, commit 13399833b0 removed
the `show_invites` context variable passed in index.html.
Hence, the `show_invites` page_param key is no
longer required to compute in backend as it can be switched with
`settings_data.user_can_invite_others_to_realm()` in the frontend.
This commits also removes the `test_compute*` tests in
`test_home` that concerned with the `show_invites` page parameter
as they are no longer required.
This commit migrates the `left_sidebar.html` Django template
to handlebars by creating a new file as `left_sidebar.hbs`
which is then rendered using `ui_init` module.
These are the minor changes introduced by virtue of template
migration -
- The `compute_show_invites_and_add_streams` function now
only concerns with the invite_to_realm_policy.
- Renamed the `compute_show_invites_and_add_streams` function
to `compute_show_invites` due to the above change.
- Fixes relevant `test_home.py` tests due to the above
changes.
Fixes part of #18792.
The language_list_dbl_col parameter in the page_params
is used by only the web client frontend. The value is
calculated in the backend and then passed as a page_param
which is unnecessary considering that the whole process
is beneficial for the front_end only. Hence move the entire
calculation code to the frontend.
Fixes part of #18673.
default_language_name was a part of page_params which is actually
redundant considering that we already have language_list and
default_language available to frontend which can be used to
get the default_language_name and hence prevents the backend
from sending an additional parameter.
Fixes part of #18673.
For this extraction, we need to move some context
parameter (from home_real in `views/home.py`) to extra
page_params parameter (of
build_page_params_for_home_page_load in
`lib/home.py`) so handlebars template can access them.
While moving I confirmed that these parameters are not
used elsewhere if some parameter is used elsewhere
(like `apps_page_url`) then I didn't remove it from the
context list, I just added it to the page_params list.
Fixes: #18795.
This is a prep commit to extract the gear menu as a
handlebars template.
We are renaming `enable_marketing_emails_enabled` to
`corporate_enabled` as it will be also used in the
handlebars template of the gear menu.
This results in moving the `zulip_merge_base` parameter to
page_params, so that it's available to JavaScript.
Since this is technically a tiny overlay, it needs to be initialized
before hashchange.js.
Rename poll_timeout to event_queue_longpoll_timeout_seconds
and change its value from 90000 ms to 90 sec. Expose its
value in register api response when realm data is fetched.
Bump API_FEATURE_LEVEL to 74.
Expose the boolean value server_needs_upgrade in the
responses for register api so that it can be used
by mobile and terminal clients as well.
Highlighted in api changelog as part of
feature level 74 in commit fb93c96
(next commit).
Shift functions used for compatibility from
zerver.lib.home (is_outdated_server) and
zerver.view.compatibility (pop_numerals,
version_lt, find_mobile_os,
is_outdated_desktop_app, is_unsupported_browser)
to zerver.lib.compatibility module.
Since this is currently only useful to interpret presence data, we
send this only if presence is requested.
I'm not sure that server_timestamp is the right name for this field,
but ultimately it should match the main presence API format.
This parameter has never been used, and causes an unnecessary database
query.
We keep the num_push_devices_for_user function, since we may have uses
for it down the line.
Fixes part of #14166.
The comment explains in more detail, but this should help avoid cases
where a Zulip server accidentally avoids the nag by having upgraded to
a 2-year old Zulip version from a 3-year-old version 2 months ago.
We now require explicit keywords for all arguments
to fetch_initial_state_data except user_profile.
We provide reasonable defaults to keep the test
code concise.
The query to get "occupied" streams has been expensive
in the past. I'm not sure how much any recent attempts
to optimize that query have mitigated the issue, but
since we clearly aren't sending this data, there is no
reason to compute it.
Using web_public_guest for anonymous users is confusing since
'guest' is actually a logged-in user compared to
web_public_guest which is not logged-in and has only
read access to messages. So, we rename it to
web_public_visitor.
Part of #16094.
Moved the language selection preference logic from home.py to a new
function in i18n.py to avoid repetition in analytics views and home
views.
