API: Adds a "display_order" to the response, which is a suggested order of
importance for the clients or recipient types respectively.
frontend: Changes messages_sent_by_{client,recipient_type} to use a fixed
order for any given user.
Also includes a number of changes to messages_sent_by_recipient_type that
were convenient to do at the same time, since the two charts share a lot of
code.
This adds a frontend for the analytics system we've had for a few
months, showing several graphs of the data in Zulip.
There's a ton more that we can do with this tooling, but this initial
version is enough to provide users with a pretty good experience.
Fixes#2052.
Makes a number of simplications to the analytics views code. The main one is
that we now return the entire data series, even if the data is eventually
going to go into a pie chart. This was prompted by us wanting several
different pie charts for each stat (one for last 30 days, one for all time,
etc), but I think it is also a more natural API. The total amount of data
being sent for the pie charts now is maybe half of what is being sent for
our single 'hourly' stat, or maybe up to 10,000 ints per year the
organization has been around.
The other big change is that the data being sent back is now always explicit
about whether it is data about the realm (stored in data['realm'], or data
about the user (stored in data['user']).
Not sure if this would actually be a performance problem in practice, but
this was originally making a database query for each subgroup (instead of
just a single query getting data for all the subgroups).
Also removed the filter against the interval column, which will soon not be
needed (interval will be uniquely determined by the property).
interval refers to a time interval, and frequency refers to something that
semantically means something closer to 'hourly' or 'daily'.
Currently, interval can have values 'hour', 'day', or 'gauge', and frequency
can only have values 'hour' and 'day'.
Type of parameter for function `is_recent`(line no.812) is `datetime`.
MyPy errors out, however, when the parameter is defined as `datetime`.
To get around, type `Any` is used.
This results in a substantial performance improvement for all of
Zulip's backend templates.
Changes in templates:
- Change `block.super` to `super()`.
- Remove `load` tag because Jinja2 doesn't support it.
- Use `minified_js()|safe` instead of `{% minified_js %}`.
- Use `compressed_css()|safe` instead of `{% compressed_css %}`.
- `forloop.first` -> `loop.first`.
- Use `{{ csrf_input }}` instead of `{% csrf_token %}`.
- Use `{# ... #}` instead of `{% comment %}`.
- Use `url()` instead of `{% url %}`.
- Use `_()` instead of `{% trans %}` because in Jinja `trans` is a block tag.
- Use `{% trans %}` instead of `{% blocktrans %}`.
- Use `{% raw %}` instead of `{% verbatim %}`.
Changes in tools:
- Check for `trans` block in `check-templates` instead of `blocktrans`
Changes in backend:
- Create custom `render_to_response` function which takes `request` objects
instead of `RequestContext` object. There are two reasons to do this:
1. `RequestContext` is not compatible with Jinja2
2. `RequestContext` in `render_to_response` is deprecated.
- Add Jinja2 related support files in zproject/jinja2 directory. It
includes a custom backend and a template renderer, compressors for js
and css and Jinja2 environment handler.
- Enable `slugify` and `pluralize` filters in Jinja2 environment.
Fixes#620.
get_realm is better in two key ways:
* It uses memcached to fetch the data from the cache and thus is faster.
* It does a case-insensitive query and thus is more safe.
