This fixes the bug where spectators can have filters selected
in recent topics if a logged in user has selected filters in the
same browser.
Log in, select a filter and log out to reproduce this.
This'll be shown only when in a different narrow from what
you're composing to.
Takes care of updating display of the button on moving from
one narrow to another and also on changing inputs. This is
what contributes to majority of js code in this commit.
We are not displaying this for private messages since we do not
have a consistent design for both stream and private compose areas.

Thanks to Vlad Korobov for the icon and for proposing various
designs.
Instead of setting `disable` attribute to the elements, we make
them look like disabled and remove interactions with them. This
helps us keep the hotkey handling logic for navigation easier
to manage.

This time format change is not working out as an improvement for at
least some users, myself included.
I think we do want to use some of the refinements attempted here (and
in particular, I'm keeping the new function with its nice test suite),
but I think it's better to revert now and fix forward in a future
release.
See #19775 for added background.
It turns out that the bug this call hopes to fix only happens when the
user first loads the page to recent_topics and then navigates to a
view with a message list (any other view), but we'd make this call
every time the recent topics table was hidden.
Hence, this commit makes it such that we only make that call if (1)
the page is loaded to recent_topics and (2) we're switching from
recent_topics to a message list view for the first time. We achieve
(1) via binding a handler via ui_init.initialize_everything and (2) by
binding the handler as `.one`, so that it's unbound after its first
invocation.
Additionally, we use window.requestAnimationFrame to prevent this
forcing the browser to do a reflow unnecessarily.
Combined with other commits in this series, this fixes a major
performance problem when leaving recent topics for another view.
See #20255 for details.
This is partially a prep commit to correctly saving/restoring the
position of the blue message select box when using browser
back/forward navigation, and partially a bug fix that ensures that
switching from "all_messages" to "recent_topics" preserves one's
position in "all_messages".
Note that this is with regards to saving the visual position of the
selected message, not about saving "which message was selected".
It's 2022 and the WHATWG no longer recognizes the term URI. Everything
is now a URL or a type of URL. Which is great because it's way less
confusing. Details here:

An attacker could maliciously craft a full name for their account and
send messages to a topic with several participants; a victim who then
opens an overflow tooltip including this full name on the recent
topics page could trigger execution of JavaScript code controlled by
the attacker.

We follow how other apps present older messages, e.g. Gmail,
Facebook Messenger, etc. display it.
Specifically, the logic we use is:
If the time is <24hr ago, show an absolute time, like "21:30" (or "9:30pm").
Otherwise, show what day it was, and not a time
If the day was yesterday, say "Yesterday".
Otherwise, if it was <7 days ago, say the day of week, like "Friday".
Otherwise, if it was <1 year ago, say the month and day, like "Sep 6".
Otherwise, say the year, month, and day, like "Sep 9, 2020".
With some tweaks from Tim Abbott to better handle the future case.
Fixes#19775
Notifies user when messages are not being marked as read through a
banner that lets them mark all messages in the narrow as read. Note
that the banner is only displayed if the user's actions, like
scrolling, would've actually marked the messages as read.
This avoids distracting the user when viewing a thread they've already
read.
tabbott has verified that if new messages come in, the banner will reappear.
Fixes: #18768.
Going through the description of commit
a150b9b0ae is highly recommended since
this is a related issue.
We had received a complaint on chat.zulip.org about navigation with
the keyboard `n` key being significantly slow (~5 seconds), the first
time `n` was pressed when starting from the recent topics view.
It was difficult to reproduce the amount of lag that was reported, but
running chrome with the profile tab set to 4x slowdown helped get
close to it.
Based on profiling from the original report, as well as locally with
chrome set to 4x slowdown, led to the realisation that recent topics
to stream navigation involved a lot of dom thrashing, and so this
series of commits aims to prevent this path from causing forced
reflows.
In this commit, we reorder the calls to $(...).show() in
recent_topics_ui.hide(), this prevents the first reflow in this path,
most likely because displaying message_feed_container before
message_view_header_underpadding was guaranteed to cause style
recalculations since the underpadding is visually above the message
container.
This causes a net 60 ms decrease in the first renarrow, an ~ 70 ms
increase in the second renarrow and an ~ 5 ms increase in the third
renarrow but, more importantly, it eliminates one reflow and sets on a
path where we can achieve strong gains in subsequent commits.
Since the position of topic in recent topics can change, we
focus the last selected topic using the `topic_key` instead
of relying `row_focus` value which is incorrect.
When user is scrolling, we simply keep the center element in
focus.
When user is using hotkeys, we keep the focused element in
center.
When user is using keyboard, we need to always keep the
"focused" topic in visible scrolling area.
We determine if the topic row is above or below the visible
area and scroll half_height_of_visible_area so that the selected
topic is visible.
This gives a nice navigation experience for both the views.
Reduced height of recent topics table to account for
compose box so that focused element is not below compose box.
Previously, navigating from any stream to the recent topics view would
cause a forced reflow every time we checked `is_visible()` because it
would call `$("#recent_topics_view").is(":visible")`.
The reason for this is related to how browsers ship frames, the
process follows these steps:
JavaScript > style calculations > layout > paint > composite.
(The layout step is called Reflow in firefox.)
Typically, the browser will handle these steps in the most optimal
manner possible, delaying expensive operations until they're needed.
However, it is possible to cause the browser to perform a layout
earlier than necessary. An example of this is what we previously did:
When we call `top_left_corner.narrow_to_recent_topics()`, we ask to
add a class via `.addClass()`, this schedules a Style Recalculation,
then, when we call `message_view_header.make_message_view_header()` it
calls `recent_topics_util.is_visible()` which calls
`$("#recent_topics_view").is(":visible")`.
Before the browser can get this value, it realizes that our dom was
invalidated by `.addClass()` and so it must execute the scheduled
Style Recalculation and cause a layout.
This is called a forced synchronous layout.
This commit adds a JavaScript variable representing the visible state,
in order to prevent the above behavior.
This commit reduces the main thread run time of
`build_message_view_header` from 131.81 ms to 5.20 ms.
Unfortunately we still have the case where
`recent_topics_ui.revive_current_focus()` calls
`recent_topics_ui.set_table_focus()` which causes a reflow.
However, by eliminating this reflow we still save ~100ms.
(It's important to note that we only save this sometimes, as other
things can still cost us a reflow.)

We can use this format to display text in plural form or not based
on a number. This helps translators easily translate text and
users get a better formatted text.
Since, the filter button is replaced with a different button
after click, the `current_focus_elem` points at incorrect
element. `revive_current_focus` follows a good
method to locate the filter button, hence
we use it to correct the element `current_focus_elem` points at.
d779a1c tweaked `get_full_datetime` to return a string instead
of a {date, time} object. This function is used for recent topics
too but wasn't fixed to use the string.
This resulted in showing 'undefined undefined' in tooltip.
We split recent_topics module into recent_topics_(ui + data + util).
This allows us to reduce cyclical dependencies which were
created due to large list of imports in recent topics. Also, this
refactor on its own makes sense.
