Most of this was straightforward.
Most functions that were grabbed verbatim and whole from
the original class still have one-line wrappers.
Many functions are just-the-data versions of functions that
remain in MessageList: see add, append, prepend, remove as
examples. In a typical pattern the MessageList code becomes
super simple:
prepend: function MessageList_prepend(messages) {
var viewable_messages = this.data.prepend(messages);
this.view.prepend(viewable_messages);
},
Two large functions had some minor surgery:
triage_messages =
top half of add_messages +
API to pass three lists back
change_message_id =
original version +
two simple callbacks to list
For the function update_muting_and_rerender(), we continue
to early-exit if this.muting_enabled is false, and we copied
that same defensive check to the new function
named update_items_for_muting(), even though it's technically
hidden from that codepath by the caller.
For a commit that was just merged I had the "back-out" case
at the wrong nesting level. It was a pretty obscure failure
scenario that never came up in practice, but basically if you
were starting at a message that was not in your narrow, but
we did have some messages in your narrow, we would try to
go near the old message instead of talking to the server to
find the next unread message in that narrow.
Barring a few minor edge cases, when we now do a narrow
that is based on a sidebar-like search (e.g. stream/topic,
no extra conditions), we now go directly to either the
first unread message we know about locally or the last
message if we're all caught up.
We of course used to do this in master until recently; this behavior
was broken by Tim's narrowing refactor branch (ending with
26ac1d237b) which moved us to always
using the select_first_unread flag, by default (fixing issues where if
you clicked around while your pointer was behind, you'd land in the
wrong place).
We now have arguably the best of both worlds:
* The pointer is not considered when computing narrowing positioning
* We only go to the server for sidebar clicks if the data isn't
available in the browser.
We had a recent regression that had kind of a funny symptom.
If somebody else edited a topic while you were in a topic
narrow, even if wasn't your topic, then your narrow would
mysteriously go empty upon the event coming to you.
The root cause of this is that when topic names change,
we often want to rerender a lot of the world due to muting.
But we want to suppress the re-render for topic narrows that
don't support the internal data structures.
This commit restores a simple guard condition that got lost
in a recent refactoring:
see 3f736c9b06
From tabbott: This is not the correct ultimate place to end up,
because if a topic-edit moves messages in or out of a topic, the new
behavior is wrong. But the bug this fixes is a lot worse than that,
and no super local change would do the right thing here.
We now do real-time sync to update the attachments UI when new
attachments are uploaded/deleted.
While we're at it, we fix the UI for the delete option to not do a
weird local echo thing.
This completes the work of a couple issues. There's still useful
performance work to do here (see the TODO), but it's a minor issue in
a rarely-used screen.
Fixes#6731.
Fixes#3710.
We send add events on upload, update events when sending a message
referencing it, and delete updates on removal.
This should make it possible to do real-time sync for the attachments
UI.
Based in part on work by Aastha Gupta.
We only use this data in a rarely-used settings screen, and it can be
large after years of posting screenshots.
So optimize the performance of / by just loading these data when we
actually visit the page.
This saves about 300ms of runtime for loading the home view for my
user account on chat.zulip.org.
Even though starred messages are never unread, it's useful
for us to have helper functions for them.
This change makes it so that clicking on "Starred Messages"
takes you to the last read message immediately, without a
server delay.
This fixes some minor glitches with buttons:
* Movement of the organization-settings-parent block on the
appearance of widgets.
* Large and odd look of save button.
* Use of fadeIn and fadeOut rather than changing opacity as
opacity don't actually remove them.
If notifications_stream is private and the current user has never been
subscribed, then we would throw an exception when trying to look up
notifications_stream. In this situation, we should just treat it like
the stream doesn't exist for the purposes of this user.
This is purely to make it easier to read narrow.activate()
without having to page past lots of unnecessary detail when
you're trying to understand things like how we set the
selection.
The maybe_select_closest helper, when first introduced, was
tiny and close to its callers.
As it's grown, it's become kind of a big hurdle to reading
narrow.activate(), because it's out of chronological order
and it's hard to tell at a glance which variables it's closing
on.
Now we just move it out to module scope.
It's mostly moving code, with these minor changes:
* we pass in opts for the old closure vars
* we rename then_select_offset -> select_offset
* we early-exit on empty lists
We replace these variables in narrow.activate:
then_select_id (int w/-1 as a sentinel)
select_first_unread (boolean)
The main goal here is to get away from the boolean, since
we are about to introduce a third select strategy.
The new var is select_strategy and it has a union
type with these flavors:
"exact" (was select_first_unread === false)
"first_unread" (was select_first_unread === true)
The new flavor will be something like "last_id".
Eliminating then_select_id is also nice, since the -1
sentinel value could be a pitfall, and it's semantically
cleaner to encapsulate behind a check for
select_strategy.flavor.
We use an IIFE (immediately invoked function expression)
to fetch messages. This will allow us to introduce some
local vars in a subsequent commit without creating an ugly
diff and without cluttering an already crowded namespace.
This cleans up a subsequent diff. Within the context of
`maybe_select_closest`, there's only one `msg_id` we care about,
so the more convoluted name `then_select_id` makes much less
sense than it does in the enclosing scope, and it will make
even less sense after some future changes.
There's also some cosmetic cleanup here.
When we are deciding whether to preserve scroll position, we
mainly care that then_select_offset is set to a value. If
we had no intention of preserving scroll offset, we would have
never bothered to set it. The check for !select_first_unread
is always redundant, as verified by lots of clicking around
with some print debugging. And it's a brittle check,
because it couples the decision of scrolling destination to
the mechanism by which we decide our selection. While those
things are closely related, it's possible in the future that
we'll decide to advance to an unread message and still want
to set then_select_offset, but we might forget to mutate
select_first_unread.
Long story short, the code is simpler and safer now.
We move the var declaration of then_select_offset closer to
where it gets calculated, and we avoid code duplication in
calling current_msg_list.get_row().
Even when then_select_id has the sentinel value of -1, we were
trying to look it up in our message_list.all object. This would
have returned undefined, which is fine, but it's more explicit
to just bypass the check.
This mostly sets up the next commit. The two conditions here
are both inexpensive to check, but we want to bypass an upcoming
expensive operation if can_apply_locally() returns false.
With past logic, on fast upload progress bar don't appears because
uploadFinished is called as soon as upload is finished so
progress bar get disappeared. To make these hiding of progress bar
smooth we set setTimeout for every hiding of progress bar as well
as complete status element.
Here `file.lastModified` is unique for each upload so it is used
to track each upload individually.
Also, we have used `uploadStarted` function because it is
called for each file during an upload.
Fixes: #9068.
Previous logic was little buggy, as many time there can be considerable
difference between uploadFinished and progressUpdated as progressUpdated
can finish much earlier(on a slow connection) and the "uploaded file"
markdown text is inserted with some delay.
It is also a preliminary commit for making each progress bar independent
as currently progressUpdated may close upload_bar even after only
one file out of many files is uploaded.
This takes advantage of the new function narrow_state.stream_id().
We now assume the incoming stream_id is a valid stream_id, so we
no longer need to test some of the error checking. (It's possible that
the incoming stream_id may no longer be for a stream you subscribe
to, but the nice benefit of working more in "id space" is that if
it doesn't match the narrow's stream id, we know false is a safe
return value.)
