For some widgets we now avoid duplicate redraw
events from this old pattern:
widget = list_render.create(..., {
}).init();
widget.sort(...);
The above code was wasteful and possibly
flicker-y due to the fact that `init` and
`sort` both render.
Now we do this:
widget = list_render.create(..., {
init_sort: [...],
});
For other widgets we just clean up the need
to call `init()` right after `create()`.
We also allow widgets to pass in `sort_fields`
during initialization (since you may want to
have `init_sort` use a custom sort before the
first render.)
Finally, we make the second and third calls
eliminate the prior updates from the previous
widget. This can prevent strange bugs with
double-reversing columns (although that's
been prevented in a better way with a recent
commit), as well as avoiding double work
with sorting.
This code has always been kind of convoluted
and buggy, starting with the first
sorting-related commit, which put filtering
before sorting for some reason:
3706e2c6ba
This should fix bugs like the fact that
changing filter text would not respect
reversed sorts.
Now the scheme is simple:
- external UI actions set `meta` values like
filter_value, reverse_mode, and
sorting_function, as needed, through
simple setters
- use `hard_redraw` to do a redraw and
trigger external actions
- all filtering/sorting/reverse logic on
the *data* happens in a single, simple
function called `filter_and_sort`
We don't use this anywhere. You can do
`git grep -A 40 list_render.create` to verify
this (with a little bit of noise in the grep).
A better strategy for generalizing
this code is to extract the useful logic
into a function that callers can use in their
own custom event handlers, which I'll do
in an upcoming commit.
We put this in `scroll_util` to make it more likely
we will eventually unify this with other scrolling
logic. (A big piece to move is ui.get_scroll_element,
but that's for another PR.)
And then the other tactical advantage is that we get
100% line coverage on it.
I changed the warning to an error, since I don't
think we ever expect scrolling at the `body` level,
and I don't bother with the preview node.
I pushed this risk commit to the end of
a PR that had a bunch of harmless prep
commits at the front, and I didn't make
it clear enough that the last commit (this
one) hadn't been tested thoroughly.
For the list_render widget, we can simplify
the intialization pretty easily (avoid
extra sorts, for example), but the cache aspects
are still tricky on subsequent calls.

widget = list_render.create(..., {

widget.sort(...);

This is all cosmetic.
Instead of:
const.widget = {
foo: function () = {
},
bar: function () {
},
};
We have:
const widget = {};
widget.foo = function () = {
};
widget.bar = function () {
};
This is a bug fix where, if a list_render
object with the given name exists and it's items
have been sorted, then the filtered_list's data
does not get updated on re-rendering.
This line was present in the original commit
9576d5caef.
The use case for this are small or fixed tables, which do not need
filtering support. Thus we are able to not include the unnecessary
search input inside the html parent container.
It is not used at present, but will be required when we refactor
the settings pages.
We also split out exports.validate_filter function for
unit testing the above condition.
Previously, when list_render.create was called, if a list_render
object with the given name existed, it returned the existing
list_render object with the previous properties, without the property
to sort the lists added. The root cause of the bug was that when we
added the sorting click handlers, we put them just in the constructor,
not in __set_events, the function we call from appropriate code paths
to add the other necessary click handlers.
Fix this by moving the code to add the sorting properties into
__set_events().
Fixes#14175.
This is relatively unobtrusive, and we don't send
anything to the server.
But any user can now enter blueslip.timings in the
console to see a map of how long things take in
milliseconds. We only record one timing per
event label (i.e. the most recent).
It's pretty easy to test this by just clicking
around. For 300 users/streams most things are
fast except for:
- initialize_everything
- manage streams (render_subscriptions)
Both do lots of nontrivial work, although
"manage streams" is a bit surprising, since
we're only measuring how long to build the
HTML from the templates (whereas the real
time is probably browser rendering costs).
This change sets us up to optimize how we
filter users in the admin user settings.
See #13554 for more context on the user
facing issues.
This fix is basically three related things:
- Add filterer options to list_render.
- Add helper method to people.js.
- Use filterer in settings_users.js.
The filter "callback" was only a "callback" in the
most general sense of the word.
It's just a filter predicate that returns a bool.
This is to prepare for another filtering option,
where the caller can filter the whole list
themselves. I haven't figured out what I will name
the new option yet, but I know I want to make the
two options have specific names.
We are already providing callbacks everywhere, so
it would be nice to eliminate some dead code.
This also speeds things up ever so slightly (no
longer type-checking the option every time through
the loop).
We also split out exports.filter to make unit testing
easier. The function seems kinda silly now, being so
small, but I hope to add another filtering option soon.
This commit was originally automatically generated using `tools/lint
--only=eslint --fix`. It was then modified by tabbott to contain only
changes to a set of files that are unlikely to result in significant
merge conflicts with any open pull request, excluding about 20 files.
His plan is to merge the remaining changes with more precise care,
potentially involving merging parts of conflicting pull requests
before running the `eslint --fix` operation.

ESLint won’t convert these automatically because it can’t rule out a
behavior difference arising from an access to a self-referential var
before it’s initialized:
> var x = (f => f())(() => x);
undefined
> let y = (f => f())(() => y);
Thrown:
ReferenceError: Cannot access 'y' before initialization

With webpack, variables declared in each file are already file-local
(Global variables need to be explicitly exported), so these IIFEs are
no longer needed.

This commit fixes an issue where when you click on the sort button of
a table twice, reversing stops.
The problem is we are checking the truthness of meta.sorting_function
instead of just the function argument sorting_function. This commit
extract the reverse operation out of sort() to unclutter the logic.
The current behavior treats uppercase and lowercase characters
differently resulting in incorrect sorting of lists.
This change fixes that and makes the alphabetic sorting of columns
case insensitive.
This commit prepares the frontend code to be consumed by webpack.
It is a hack: In theory, modules should be declaring and importing the
modules they depend on and the globals they expose directly.
However, that requires significant per-module work, which we don't
really want to block moving our toolchain to webpack on.
So we expose the modules by setting window.varName = varName; as
needed in the js files.
This is preparation for enabling an eslint indentation configuration.
90% of these changes are just fixes for indentation errors that have
snuck into the codebase over the years; the others are more
significant reformatting to make eslint happy (that are not otherwise
actually improvements).
The one area that we do not attempt to work on here is the
"switch/case" indentation.
When a `data-sort` is clicked in the body, it will trigger an attempt
to find the closest `list_render` instance, retrieve it from memory,
and then sort by the particular method specified.
This allows for someone to specify a generic sorting function which
accepts a prop to sort by, a sorting function which runs with just a
function on the whole object, and the ability to remove the sorting
function in play.
This adds perfectScrollbar to the default streams table
because it currently is inside another perfectScrollbar which
actually makes it impossible to scroll the table normally without
enabling the perfectScrollbar library on this.
Fixes: #6391.
Using weird characters when filtering options items in these various
settings pages would throw exceptions whenever they didn't form a
valid regular expression.
