@brockwhittaker wrote the original prototype for having
pills in the recipient box when users compose PMs (either
1:1 or huddle). The prototype was test deloyed on our
main realm for several weeks.
This commit includes all the original CSS and HTML from
the prototype.
After some things changed with the codebase after the initial
test deployment, I made the following changes:
* In prior commits I refactored out a module called
`user_pill.js` that implemented some common functions
against a more streamlined version of `input_pill.js`,
and this commit largely integrates with that.
* I made changes in a prior commit to handle Zephyr
semantics (emails don't get validated) and tested
this commit with zephyr.
* I fixed a reload bug by extracting code out to
`compose_pm_pill.js` and re-ordering some
calls to `initialize`.
There are still two flaws related to un-pill-ified text in the
input:
* We could be more aggressive about trying to pill-ify
emails when you blur or tab away.
* We only look at the pills when you send the message,
instead of complaining about the un-pill-ified text.
(Some folks may consider that a feature, but it's
probably surprising to others.)
This changes the markdown preview test to use the
waitForSelectorTextChange method rather than waitWhileVisible
because it was not being generated fast enough in some cases
to show correctly with waitWhileVisible.
* In most cases, eslint --fix with the right comma-dangle settings was
able to update the code correctly.
* The exceptions were cases where the parser incorrectly treated the
arguments to functions as lists/objects and added commas; these are
detectable with linters, and we fixed manually. Since this is test
code, we can be reasonably confident that just fixing the failures
suffices to correct any bugs introduced by making changes
automatically.
Chaining together `wait*` functions can create race conditions in the
frontend tests. To avoid race condition, we need to insert `then`
function between two `wait*` functions.
