With perfectScrollbar, we needed to call a function from JavaScript to
enable a scrollbar on a new element, but simplebar has a much simpler
default API one can do by using data-simplebar attributes in the HTML.
So we can delete all the scrollbar creation/deletion code.

perfect-scrollbar replaces both the appearance and the behavior of the
scrollbar, and its emulated behavior will never feel native on most
platforms. SimpleBar customizes the appearance while preserving the
native behavior.

We no longer store handlers as an array of functions,
and instead we assume that code will only ever set up
one handler per sel/event or sel/event/child. This is
almost always a sane policy for the app itself.
We also try to improve error handling when devs write
incorrect tests.
The only tests that required changes here are the
activity tests, which were a little careless about how
data got reset between tests.
Adds possibility for users to use | as an OR-operator (besides ,)
when searching for other users.
This is a thing reasonable folks might try, and | in the thing to
search for isn't a realisitic possibility, so there's no real downside
to adding this.
Fixes#4109.
This is mostly adding markup, calling some convenient
functions in buddy_data.js, and adjusting CSS.
To make the circles update dynamically, I mostly
orchestrate this though activity.js for now. It's
possible we'll want to adjust that eventually to
happen through something like a `presence_events`
dispatcher, but that's essentially what
a good part of `activity.js` does now.
We now have a function get_user_circle_class
that returns one of these values:
"user_circle_green"
"user_circle_orange"
"user_circle_empty"
And we put that in the templates.
And then CSS renders the circle of the appropriate
color.
The unit tests now explicitly capture whether
we are rendering the correct kind of circle.
In small screen sizes, when the user presses shortcut `w` to search
for another user, the hide_all function calls in the search code path
would hide the right sidebar, immediately after opening it, making the
hotkey basically unusable.
We fix this by extracting a separate hide method that hides all true
popovers, but not the user list sidebar.
Fixes#11463.
The name `insert_user_into_list` is sort of misleading,
since we are often just redrawing the user's existing
item in the buddy list.
I chose `redraw_user` over `update_user` to emphasize
that we're just going to redraw it with whatever data
has been updated by the callers.
We are trying to carve room for a more specific
"user_status" concept, which refers to statuses
that users specifically set, like "I'm away".
So we call this function "update_presence_info",
which reflects that it's more about actual
"presence"--i.e. the user really is present
in the browser, even though the actual human
may not want to be disturbed.
For many years we have been excluding the current user
from the buddy list, since their presence is kind
of implicit, and it saves a line of real estate.
This commit removes various user-is-me checks
and puts the user back for the following reasons:
* explicit is better
* newbies will be less confused when they
can see they're actually online
* even long-time users like myself will
feel more comfortable if it's just there
* having yourself in the buddy list facilitates
things like checking your presence or sending
yourself a message
* showing "me" reinforces the meaning of the
green circle (if my circle is green and I'm
active, then others with green circles must
be active too)
* If you're literally the first user in the
realm, you can now see what the buddy list
looks like and try out the chevron menu.
The biggest tradeoff here is the opportunity cost.
For an org with more people than fit on the screen,
we put the Nth person below the fold to show "me".
I think that's fine--users can still scroll or
search.
This commit doesn't do anything special with the
current user in terms of sorting them higher in the
list or giving specific styling.
Fixes#10476
This is part of work to break some of our
nastier circular dependencies in preparation
for our es6 migration.
This commit should facilitate loading leaf-like
modules such as people.js before all of the things
that reload.js depends on.
We add a padded div to our container for the buddy
list to give scrolling the illusion that we've
rendered every list item, while still letting
the browser do the heavy lifting instead of trying
to fake it out too much.
This version of progressive scrolling lazily
renders buddy list items, but it doesn't
provide the browser with any notion of upcoming
list items, so as you scroll down and the size
of the rendered list grows, the scrollbar shows
you being too close to the bottom.
This maintains 100% coverage on buddy_list.js.
We now keep track of keys in buddy_list.js, so that
when we insert/remove items, we no longer need to
traverse all the DOM. Instead, we just find out
which position in the list we need to insert the
key in (where "key" is "user_id") and then find
the relevant DOM node directly and insert the new
HTML before that node. (And of course we still
account for the "append" case.)
There's a little more bookkeeping to make this
happen, but it should help reduce some code in
upcoming commits and pave the way toward
progressive rendering optimizations.
This commit should produce a minor speedup
for activity-related events that go through
buddy_list.insert_or_move(), since we are
not traversing the DOM to find insertion points
any more.
This is preparation for our migration of our JS pipeline to webpack,
which includes as part of the process a hack of exporting globals via
the window object.
This run_test helper sets up a convention that allows
us to give really short tracebacks for errors, and
eventually we can have more control over running
individual tests. (The latter goal has some
complications, since we often intentionally leak
setup in tests.)
When we populate the buddy list or update it for activity, we now
have buddy_data set a faded flag that is rendered in the template.
This avoids some re-rendering overhead and is on the eventual path
to having our widget be more data-oriented (and all rendering happens
"behind" the widget).
We still do direct DOM updates when the compose state changes or
when we get peer subscription events.
This introduces a generic class called list_cursor to handle the
main details of navigating the buddy list and wires it into
activity.js. It replaces some fairly complicated code that
was coupled to stream_list and used lots of jQuery.
The new code interacts with the buddy_list API instead of jQuery
directly. It also persists the key across redraws, so we don't
lose our place when a focus ping happens or we type more characters.
Note that we no longer cycle to the top when we hit the bottom, or
vice versa. Cycling can be kind of an anti-feature when you want to
just lay on the arrow keys until they hit the end.
The changes to stream_list.js here do not affect the left sidebar;
they only remove code that was used for the right sidebar.
In this cleanup I make it so that all jQuery selector references
are toward the top of the module, and we do all finds relative
to the container ('#user_presences').
This will make it easier to make a better list abstraction for
the buddy list, for things like progressive rendering.
This was a bit more than moving code. I extracted the
following things:
$widget (and three helper methods)
$input
text()
empty()
expand_column
close_widget
activity.clear_highlight
There was a minor bug before this commit, where we were inconsistent
about trimming spaces. The introduction of text() and empty() should
prevent bugs where users type the space bar into search.
This does a few things:
* removes some unnecessary setup
* puts some jQuery setup closer to where it's needed
* renames some variables
* adds an assertion about highlighting
We never make an actionable distinction between the "unknown"
presence status and the "offline" status, so we now
just use "offline" as the status for persons who don't
have recent presence records that the client knows about.
(Usually, users without presence rows have never been online,
or they have been deactivated, or they have been offline so long
that they don't show up in our date-limited queries.)
We sometimes get blueslip errors from browsers that are clearly still
attempting to reload long after they should have. These browsers can
produce a lot of unnecessary presence update exceptions.
To solve that, we start checking reload_in_progress in the presence
code path.
While we're at it, we also add some blueslip logging for the reload
code path, in case it becomes useful when debugging future issues.
