We used to have code scattered in multiple places to
calculate things like admin options, preview urls,
subscriber counts, and rendered descriptions for
streams before we rendered templates in the "Manage
Stream" code.
These are all consolidated into a new function
called stream_data.update_calculated_fields().
This is mostly code cleanup, but it also fixes a bug where
the "View Stream" button would not work for a newly created
stream.
This doesn't quite complete the goals of #4650, which has a plan for
how to remove this entirely, but it causes this problematic code to
now be contained to a very rare case.
Refactored significantly by tabbott just due to rebase age.
Fixes#3629.
Modified composebox_typeahead.js to recognize the triple backtick
and tilde for code blocks, and added appropriate typeahead functions
in that file and in typeahead_helper.js.
Additionally, a new file pygments_data.js contains a dictionary of
the supported languages, mapping to relative popularity
rankings. These rankings determine the order of sort of the
languages in the typeahead.
This JavaScript file is actually in static/generated/pygments_data.js, as it
is generated by a Python script, tools/build_pymgents_data.py. This is
so that if Pygments adds support for new languages, the JavaScript file
will be updated appropriately. This python script uses a set of popularity
rankings defined in lang.json.
Corresponding unit tests were also added.
Fixes#4111.
The function check_stream_existence() temporarliy got moved
to stream_create.js, and our call from compose.js was still trying
to find it in subs.js. Now we move the function to compose.js,
since we no longer use it stream_create.js.
This function is pretty dubious, and we may want to only check
for duplicate stream names locally.
When the user creates a stream, we no longer do a synchronous
check on the back end to find if the stream name already exists.
Instead, we only check our local data, which will prevent many
typical errors, and then we let the back end capture duplicates for
stream names that the client doesn't know about.
We also tone down errors when the stream name is blank--we
only whine about empty streams right before submitting the form.
Also, since our check for duplicate streams is less expensive,
we now capture the "input" event instead of the "focusout" event,
so that if you fix up the name to avoid a collision, you get more
immediate feedback.
When we do detect stream name errors, we conveniently focus the
text field to let the user correct the problem.
It's technically the number of users yesterday. Also, "number of active
users today" suggests something like daily actives today, whereas this graph
currently shows 2-week actives.
Fixes bugs of when multiple messages are being edited simultaneously.
Specifically, typeahead is no longer broken, copying messages to clipboard
is less buggy, and resizing is no longer
broken when multiple messages are being edited.
I changed the watch_manual_resize function to return the listener
functions it creates, and then these are used to remove the event
listeners before the edit box is hidden.
Reusing code from the main compose_message component so that resizing now
behaves correctly. This means that when the user tries to resize vertically,
the autoresize code is disabled, and the textbox reverts to manual resizing.
Fixes#4573
When you subscribe to a stream, we now set a newly_subscribed
flag on the object, and we return true during the is_active()
call.
This solves the problem that immediately after you subscribe, you
don't have any messages in the stream, so it would appear active
by our old criteria.
This is still something of a workaround, as once you reload, the
stream will become inactive again, unless other messages come in.
A more permanent solution here would be to have the backend
indicate newly subscribed streams to us (apart from the initial
event), but we may not really need that in practice.
The new logic has 4 tiers of priority:
* Whether a match is found in the name, start of description, middle
of description, etc.
* Importance to the user / activity -- more specifically, the order
used in the left sidebar. This means pinned streams first, active
streams, then inactive streams.
* Subscriber count: How big is the stream? Bigger is better.
* Alphabetical ordering is a final tiebreak.
Fixes#4508.
There is a mechanism to prevent a user from "clicking" on a message
if they drag over it, to allow people to copy message contents without
triggering the compose box to open.
In the case that a user would start dragging from outside a message
and finish dragging within a message, data on where the cursor started
at is missing.
This is fixed by checking if start data exists and if it doesn't, we
just throw a drag distance of Infinity which will tell the program to
not count the action as a "click" on the message. This now does not
have an uncaught error because it instead validates "start" as existing
before attempting to access its properties.
Due to a past refactoring, the from_reload argument to do_hashchange
changed from having true/undefined as the possible values to
true/false instead. The check that sets the from_reload and
first_unread_from_server narrow options was thus incorreclty treating
from_reload of false the same as a from_reload of undefined.
As a result, if the browser had been loaded with a
page_params.initial_narrow_pointer (aka via the background reload code
path), then for the duration of that browser session, every time one
narrowed via a hashchange rather than an explicit click handler (which
apparently includes clicking on a PM thread in the left sidebar), we'd
end up narrowing with a then_select_id of the that initial narrow
pointer, not the correct first unread message.
The fix is simply changing the check for truthiness, not undefined, in
do_hashchange.
Despite the length of this commit, it is a very straightforward
moving of code from narrow.js -> narrow_state.js, and then
everything else is just s/narrow.foo()/narrow_state.foo()/
(with a few tiny cleanups to remove some code duplication
in certain callers).
The only new functions are simple setter/getters that
encapsulate the current_filter variable:
narrow_state.reset_current_filter()
narrow_state.set_current_filter()
narrow_state.get_current_filter()
We removed narrow.predicate() as part of this, since it was dead
code.
Also, we removed the shim for narrow_state.set_compose_defaults(),
and since that was the last shim, we removed shim.js from the app.
This code makes the right pane work in "Manage Streams" when
you are editing a stream subscription. It handles basic
functionality (submitting forms, etc.), live updates, and
showing the pane as needed.
Most of the code here was simply moved from subs.js, but some
functions were pulled out of larger functions:
live update:
add_me_to_member_list
update_stream_name
update_stream_description
collapse/show:
collapse
show_sub
We also now export subs.show_subs_pane.
We eventually want stream_edit not to call into subs.js, and
this should be fairly easy--we just need to move some shared
methods to a new module.
This new modules handles the UI to create streams. It mostly moves
code from subs.js.
It introduces an API around what used to be called meta.stream_created:
reset_created_stream()
set_name()
get_name()
It only partially moves new_stream_clicked().
Note that this code is disabled until the infrastructure for the
feature can be finished.
Tweaked by tabbott to use slightly cleaner names for the various sets.
This commit forces the files that create modals to create their own
modal closing function instead of creating all of them in the modals
file. These functions are then passed to the modals.close object. This
is intended to remove modals.js's dependencies on these other files.
We now only call compose_state.composing() in a boolean context,
where we simply care whether or not the compose box is open. The
function now also returns true/false.
Callers who need to know the actual message type (e.g. "stream" or
"private") now call compose_state.get_message_type().
We now use "map" to have our inner generator of topics be
mapped to objects with both the stream and topic. Thanks to
Mahim Goyal for helping with this design.
