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 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.)
Also adds a custom rule to eslint. Since the recommended way of extending
eslint is to create plugins as standalone npm packages, the separate rule
is published as 'eslint-plugins-empty-returns'.
Fixes#8669.
Using get_name() is more robust for stream name changes. This
fixes, for example, the situation where you narrow to a stream,
edit it via the sidebar, and then close the modal, and the message
redraw logic thinks you have unsubscribed.
Fixes#4686.
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.
