This contains two more complex changes:
- The default versions of sorter and matcher assume that ItemType is a
string. But the Typeahead class works on a generic ItemType and I'm
not aware of a way to assert that this function is only called for
typeaheads with string items. For `matcher`, we can assert that the
items are strings. `sorter` is now a required option instead of an
optional one that could fall back to the default.
- `element` can be either an `input` element or a `contenteditable`
`div`. We distinguish between them using `.is("[contenteditable]"))`
but TypeScript doesn't understand that. So we replaced `this.$element`
with `this.input_element` where `input_element` is an object with the
`$element` and also a `type` specifying which type of element it is
(input or contenteditable).
All existing typeaheads have values for highlighter that are one
of the following:
* render_search_list_item (a handlebars render function)
* render_typeahead_item which calls a handlebars render function
* another function in typeahead_helper which eventually calls
typeahead_helper
Operand is a confusing name because this
data structure has an attribute *called*
operand. This commit renames references to
this structure to "term", short for "search
term".
Some files already were using `noop` in place of `() => {}`.
It's both clearer what it means and is easier to type.
This updates all test files to fully use `noop`, and
adds a shared import from the test lib file.
For more clarity, the 3 related functions `is_search` in `filter.js`,
`message_list.js` and `message_list_data.js` are all renamed to
`is_keyword_search`.
This is logic from 10 years ago (dbc4798594)
that is no longer relevant. It seems like we used to show the
search bar open all the time and only showed the buttons when
there was focus in the search bar. Now we close the search bar
when it's not being used, and no longer need to update button
visibility or disable the search close button.
This in-progress feature was started in 2018 and hasn't
been worked on much since. It's already in a broken state,
which makes it hard to iterate on the existing search bar
since it's hard to know how those changes will affect search
pills.
We do still want to add search pills eventually, and when
we work on that, we can refer to this diff to readd the
changes back.
