Previously the mechanism worked such that the innerHTML was being
appended to directly potentially thousands of times which has horrific
performance implications. By concating all the strings together before
appending to the HTML it all gets rendered in one chunk without forcing
a re-render of previous elements. Performance is ~15x-20x faster now.
Change the remaining "Admin settings" with a button, namely
changing a stream's privacy, to instead be a "[Change]" link
opening a confirmation modal.
Fixes: #3493.
User search for streams will now return results where the stream
description (but not the stream name) include the string in the
user query.
The filtering process first obtains the streams whose names match the
user search query, then sorts and displays them. From the remaining
streams, it obtains streams whose description matches the query and
displays them in sorted order after the name match results. Other
streams are not displayed.
Fixes: #2674.
This is a fairly risky, invasive change that speeds up
stream deactivation by no longer sending subscription/remove
events for individual subscribers to all of the clients who
care about a stream. Instead, we let the client handle the
stream deactivation on a coarser level.
The back end changes here are pretty straightforward.
On the front end we handle stream deactivations by removing the
stream (as needed) from the streams sidebar and/or the stream
settings page. We also remove the stream from the internal data
structures.
There may be some edge cases where live updates don't handle
everything, such as if you are about to compose a message to a
stream that has been deactivated. These should be rare, as admins
generally deactivate streams that have been dormant, and they
should be recoverable either by getting proper error handling when
you try to send to the stream or via reload.
This makes the subscriptions page responsive by having the settings tab
slide over when a user taps on a stream, giving almost the whole screen
to view the settings.
When filtering streams, we were incorrectly treating the regexp input
provided by the user as a regular expression, meaning that terms like
`c++` would trigger errors because they are invalid regular expression
syntax. We fix this by replacing RegExp with a simple IndexOf check.
Node test added by tabbott.
Fixes#3559.
This changes all references of the data-stream-name to more
predictable data-stream-id references in the subscriptions overlay.
This prevents unescaped characters from breaking selectors and stream
renames from breaking selectors.
This change makes it so that when you are creating a stream
and use "Copy from Stream", the UI will immediately
check/uncheck the user checkboxes that correspond to the
stream's subscribers.
In concrete terms this allows Cordelia to create a new
stream call "Paris" that has all the "Verona" subscribers
except for Hamlet.
It also makes it so that when you go to create the stream,
the response is a little quicker, because we don't have to
iterate the streams.
Finally, it removes an odd quirk from the original design,
where if you clicked on Denmark but then collapsed the
streams, we wouldn't actually add the Denmark subscribers
to your new stream.
The current UI will still be slightly intuitive for people, as
I think checkmarks don't really make sense here. What we
really want are Add/Remove links (or buttons) next to each
of the existing streams.
I moved the UI element for "Copy from Stream" to be above
the list of users, including the filter box and check/uncheck
links, which no longer get applied to the list of streams.
The reason I no longer apply the filter to streams is...
* It's kind of confusing to have filters apply to both
streams and users. There should be separate filters for
them, and I will try to resuscitate that feature later.
* The code to filter the streams was doing a sketchy
regex operation against user-inputted data. (`match()`)
* We want to use the same stream filtering code as the
right sidebar uses.
* It improves performance for the common case that you
are filtering users.
The reason I no longer apply the check-all/uncheck-all actions
to streams is that it would be crazy to select all your streams
to copy users from, and it would be expensive/slow for large
realms, and it would likely be done by accident if somebody was
trying to manage individual users.
Finally, the check-all/uncheck-all actions have been scoped
to the users filtered by the text box, so I moved the links
under the text box to make that hopefully more clear to users.
If we blank out the user filter for users (by hitting backspace,
for example), then we now have short-circuit logic to display all
the user checkboxes. (The user-facing behavior doesn't change here,
but now we don't have to process all the strings.)
The function people.filter_by_search_terms() used
to return a JS object with emails as keys to represent
a set of users. Now we return a Zulip Dict() object
with user_ids as keys.
The old implementation was O(N squared) for N = number of
users due to its using an O(N) selector inside of a loop.
Now we simply iterate through all the checkboxes and turn them
on or off based on a bunch of O(1) operations.
When we subscribe ourselves using the "Add" button in the
right pane of "Stream settings", we now call
stream_data.subscribe_myself(), which properly updates our
data structures (more than just sub.subscribed) and prevents
some console errors when you un-subscribe yourself using
the check mark.
This change makes it such that the stream filtering operation will only
run if the subscription overlay is visible, preventing any issues with
the lack of existence of elements or processing something that users
won’t be able to see.
Fixes#3388.
The new subs.close() function should unify all closing events of the
subscriptions overlay. The function also now tracks whether the
subscription overlay is in a closed or open state.
- Change `stream_name` into `stream_id` on some API endpoints that use
`stream_name` in their URLs to prevent confusion of `views` selection.
For example:
If the stream name is "foo/members", the URL would be trigger
"^streams/(?P<stream_name>.*)/members$" and it would be confusing because
we intend to use the endpoint with "^streams/(?P<stream_name>.*)$" regex.
All stream-related endpoints now use stream id instead of stream name,
except for a single endpoint that lets you convert stream names to stream ids.
See https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/2930#issuecomment-269576231
- Add `get_stream_id()` method to Zulip API client, and change
`get_subscribers()` method to comply with the new stream API
(replace `stream_name` with `stream_id`).
Fixes#2930.
When filtering users in the new stream form, check all
and uncheck all will only effect those users who are filtered,
visible in the dom.
Includes a Casper test for the new condition.
When we change a stream name, we now use the stream id as the
key to find messages we need to live update. This eliminates
some possible race conditions from two users renaming a stream.
This commit introduces message_live_update.js.
The new call stack is this:
subs.update_subscription_properties
subs.update_stream_name
message_live_update.update_stream_name
message_list.update_stream_name
In the new stream creation modal, added checkboxes for each stream
and a toggle to see or hide the checkboxes. Altered filtering to
filter streams and users. Added corresponding casper tests.
When a stream is checked/unchecked, it does not affect the state
of any user checkbox. This may be visually unclear as users can be
added even if their checkboxes are empty.
Fixes#2448
This is a major change to the /#subscriptions page, converting it to
by a side-by-side list of streams and their settings in an overlay.
There are no new features added/removed, but it's a huge changeset,
because it replaces the old navigation logic and moves the stream
creation modal to appear in the right side of this overlay.
This is more performant, along with accepting a parameter for
filtering only streams that are subscribed to if the toggle is set to
subscribed only.
Also, it now does substring matches, rather than just matching if an
entire word matches the search query.
Fixes#2141.
From subs.js we don't redundantly try to remove an element
from ths sidebar; we just trigger the event.
In stream_list.js we continue to remove the element from
the DOM, and we also remove the widget from our internal
Dict of sidebar rows, so that if we re-subscribe, we know
we'll automatically re-build the widget from the template
and the latest data from stream_data.js.
We now use stream_id as our key to rename streams, which
should prevent a few race conditions long term. (We are
still possibly contending with other events that use
stream_name as a key, so this is not perfect.)
We don't want to prepend new subscribers to our list of
subscribers in the settings page when they hit enter; we
want to wait till we get the event from the server.
This is a fairly new regression that was added when we
live-updated peer subscriber changes.
This fixes and issue where the change_stream_privacy template had its
own duplicate copy of the data-stream-name attribute, which wasn't
updated when streams were renamed.
Fixes#2016.
I make server_events slimmer by not handling a specific
property when subs.update_subscription_properties() should
do all the dispatching (and mostly did).
And then since update_subscription_properties() has
a "sub" already, I can call directly to stream_list code
and remove a function from subs.js. Since I lose the
wrapper function in subs.js, I rename the stream_list
function as part of this commit.
The only code that gets slightly heavier here is that
we have two lines in the 'pin_to_top' case instead of one.
All of the eventual callers to prepend_subscribers()
and format_member_list_elem() call people.get_by_email()
anyway, so now we do it one place. The one exception
was using page_params.fullname, which is awkwardly
different than what we call that variable elsewhere
(fullname vs. full_name).
The startup code in subs.js used to intermingle data
stuff and UI stuff in a loop inside a called function,
which made the code hard to reason about.
Now there is a clear separation of concerns, with these methods
being called in succession:
stream_data.initialize_from_page_params();
stream_list.create_initial_sidebar_rows();
The first method was mostly extracted from subs.js, but I simplified
some things, like not needing to make a copy of the hashes
we were passed in, plus I now garbage collect email_dict. Also,
the code path that initialize_from_page_params() mostly replaces
used to call create_sub(), which fired a trigger, but now it
just does data stuff.
Once the data structure is built up, it's a very simple matter
to build the initial sidebar rows, and that's what the second
method does.
This function will make it easier to unit test upcoming
changes related to stream counts.
This was mostly moving code, but one change is that we
don't call create_subs() in subs.js any more (which would
have been kind of circular dependency), since the only thing
that it did besides calling a more appropriate function
in stream_data.js was to generate a trigger that was
subsequently ignored and possibly a UI trap, as we don't
want to be messing with the stream sidebar when we go into
the stream settings page.
We now simply call exports.create_sub_from_server_data() for
newly encountered unsubscribed streams (which don't belong in
the sidebar anyway.)
This function used to live in subs.js. It's mostly a code move,
but I simplified the logic to determine whether it's subscribed
not to do a lookup into the same data structure that the sub
already came from.
I also added some tests.
This moves these functions from subs.js to stream_data.js:
receives_desktop_notifications
receives_audible_notifications
This makes notifications.js no longer dependent on the
bloated subs.js.
Filter behaves similarly to filter in left sidebar, see PR #684. Added
stream input field to the stream creation modal along with other settings,
for clarity.
Fixes#455, #563.
The API uses this endpoint /json/streams/<stream_name> to update
stream information such as description, since the stream_name is
part of the URI it should be encoded to escape unsafe characters.
Fixes#1986.
This fixes a bug where the .subscribers property of a subscription
object in stream_data wasn't being properly updated to remove the
current user when the current user unsubscribed from the stream.
Fixes#1667.
This adds a preview button to the subscriptions page to allow a user
to check out the stream without having to subscribe.
The button’s default state is hidden but on subscription row hover it
shows itself.
The preview button updates its text from "Narrow" to "Preview" and
back when a user subscribes and unsubscribes from a stream.
Fixes: #1519.
From the popups that appear when clicking the down-arrow in the left
column's streams, you can now unsubscribe from that particular
channel. This runs on the same function that unsubscribes you from
streams in the "Subscriptions" tab.
Fixes: #1554.
[tweaked by tabbott to fix some errors]
The ‘for’ attribute is not valid HTML in the case of this because the
emails are invalid character sets and the input has no ID with the
email.
This changes it to a data-name which is still searchable but doesn’t
interfere with typical input behavior.
The checkboxes no longer float-left, fixing an issue with the
subscribe buttons leaning right in narrow windows.
Fixes: #1491.
There are no modern browsers that do not have built in JSON parsing
abilities. We do not need $.parseJSON as it now just serves as a call
to JSON.parse.
Attr now returns “checked” instead of true and “” instead of false in
higher versions. This fixes those issues.
The attr(“data-*”) have also been covered to data() as well.
Following strings are marked translatable:
- All strings which are passed to `button.text` or which affect the
text of buttons.
- All strings passed to `placeholder`.
- All strings passed to `compose_error`.
Fixes#969
Previously, we were checking if a particular user was the current user
in dozens of places in the codebase, and correct case-insensitive
checks were not used consistently, leading to bugs like #502.
Move recenter_pointer_on_display, suppress_scroll_pointer_update,
fast_forward_pointer, furthest_read, and server_furthest_read to
a new pointer module in pointer.js.
Previously, the Zulip subscriptions page's error bar would always be
at the very top of the scrollable view, and thus would likely be out
of view when an error happened. This fixes it by having the error bar
always placed below the search box (and thus visible regardless of
where in the scrollable streams view we are).
Fixes: #515.

Before this change, we were using sequentially generated ids
on the client side to identify streams. Now we just use
the ids from the server. The goal here is to reduce the
confusion of having two different ids attached to a stream.
Also, not that it matters a ton, but this also means that
the browser basically has an immutable id for each stream
that is future-proof to reloads, multiple create_sub calls, etc.
It also a bit easier to grep for ".stream_id" than ".id".

The Streams page should only show active public realms, even though
a user might have info about a "retired" stream in their browser.
I regressed this in 69b83d769 for "retired" streams. A retired
stream is a stream that no longer has subscribers. The bug
scenario here was that you could create a stream, regret it,
unsubscribe yourself, and then the stream never went away from
the Streams page.
This diff tries to be a little more explicit about building the
list of streams for the Streams page. Basically you have two
sources:
* Get only the subscribed streams from the internal
data structures.
* Get the unsubscribed streams by calling the back end
for all public streams, and subtract out the subscribed
streams.
I tested the following scenarios:
normal stream with me: in Streams
normal stream without me: in Streams
my invite-only: in Streams
their invite-only with me: in Streams
their invite-only without me: not in Streams
retired stream: not in Streams (but message colors are good)

related discussion.
