Now node_tests/search.js and node_tests/search_legacy.js have
almost identical test besides the search pills related data
processing work.
This is possible since we no longer depend on the values stored
in the input pills and can narrow or search for term based on
the `#search_query` box value.
This was done in commit 02ab48a61e.
The main reasoning for this change is as follows:
* When the search bar contains multiple search queries
but no search results, the last search operand does
not get displayed.
This happens due to the fact that filter object
contained 2 terms having the operator key value as
"search" instead of a single term where operator is
"search" and operand is a single string containing
the space seperated search queries. This condition
occurs for search_pills_enabled case only because
we used to Filter.parse the query twice
(once for the `base_operators` and once for the
`suggestion_operator instead of doing both at once).
Thus the `search_query` value inside the
`narrow.show_search_query` function which only
selected the operands of the first term displayed
an incomplete result.
* Another benefit of this commit is to display the narrow
operators in the URL fragment the same way as when
search_pills_enabled = False.
For example, On entering the queries in the mentioned
order -> 'is: starred', 'abc', 'def', 'is: private',
'ghi'. This is the URL:
Previously:
/#narrow/is/starred/is/private/search/abc.20def/search/ghi
Now (same as pills disabled case):
/#narrow/is/starred/is/private/search/abc.20def.20ghi
* We are also able to de-duplicate the non-typeahead search
query code path.
This updates the logged-in top navbar to display the stream/message
name, number of users, and description. It also replaces the search
bar with a search icon that expands into a full-width search bar.

We now treat util like a leaf module and
use "require" to import it everywhere it's used.
An earlier version of this commit moved
util into our "shared" library, but we
decided to wait on that. Once we're ready
to do that, we should only need to do a
simple search/replace on various
require/zrequire statements plus a small
tweak to one of the custom linter checks.
It turns out we don't really need util.js
for our most immediate code-sharing goal,
which is to reuse our markdown code on
mobile. There's a little bit of cleanup
still remaining to break the dependency,
but it's minor.
The util module still calls the global
blueslip module in one place, but that
code is about to be removed in the next
few commits.
I am pretty confident that once we start
sharing things like the typeahead code
more aggressively, we'll start having
dependencies on util. The module is barely
more than 300 lines long, so we'll probably
just move the whole thing into shared
rather than break it apart. Also, we
can continue to nibble away at the
cruftier parts of the module.
Once we have max_items results, stop trying
to get more items.
This should really help large realms when
you do a search on streams that turns up
more than N streams (where N is about 12).
We won't even bother to find people.
Fixes part of #10026.
Adds additional option to typeahead:
`tabOpensEmptyTypeahead`(default: false):
tabOpensEmptyTypeahead overrides helpOnEmptyStrings.
This commit sets helpOnEmptyStrings to false and
tabOpensEmptyTypeahead to true. Now typeahead will
open on an empty string only if Tab has been pressed.
Before this change, if you hit ESC, then hotkey
code would call search.clear_search, which would
call narrow.deactivate(), which would then use
`$('#search_query')` to clear a value, but then
let search.clear_search blur the input and
disable the exit button. It was all confusing.
Things are a bit more organized now.
Now the code works like this:
hotkey.process_escape_key
Just call narrow.deactivate.
$('#search_exit').on('click', ...):
Just call narrow.deactivate.
narrow.deactivate:
Just call search.clear_search_form
search.clear_search_form:
Just do simple jquery stuff. Don't
change the entire user's narrow, not
even indirectly!
There's still a two-way interaction between
the narrow.js module and the search.js module,
but in each direction it's a one-liner.
The guiding principle here is that we only
want one top-level API, which is narrow.deactivate,
and that does the whole "kitchen sink" of
clearing searches, closing popovers, switching
in views, etc. And then all the functions it
calls out to tend to have much smaller jobs to
do.
This commit can mostly be considered a refactoring, but the
order of operations changes slightly. Basically, as
soon as you hit ESC or click on the search "X", we
clear the search widget. Most users won't notice
any difference, because we don't have to hit the
server to populate the home view. And it's arguably
an improvement to give more immediate feedback.
If search pills are not enabled, the text present in the search bar
will be selected on pressing '/' and writing someting without deselecting
the text will clear the search text. Since selecting the pills would
not make sense in this context, the search box is focused instead.
Adds box-shadow to `#searchbox` when either `#search_query` or any
of the pills have focus. Uses jquery instead of pure css as the
`:focus` event occurs on `#search_query`, while we want to add
box-shadow to `#searchbox`. This could have been done with
`:focus-within` CSS selector, but it is not supported in IE or Opera.
`#search_query` already had an onfocus/focusout listener, adding
listeners to `#searchbox.pills` for those events wouldn't have worked
as you don't want the focusout event to fire when the focus shifts
from input to pill.
Also adds `focusin`, `focusout` and `css()` to zjquery. `css` is
same as `val`, except it returns an empty object in case of no value
instead of an empty string. I don't think `css()` is valid syntax
in actual jquery.
After adding search pills, suggestions were based only on the
current input and no validation against the existing pills was done.
operator_subset_suggestions have been removed. Default suggestions
for base_operators have also been removed.
Handle multiple operators:
if `is:starred stream:Ver` was typed without selecting the typeahead
or pressing enter in between i.e search pill for is:starred has not yet
been added, then the description of `is:starred` will act as a prefix
in every suggestion.
Also makes changes re-enabling person suggestions for names with spaces.
Following points have been implemented in this commit:
1.) Add search pill on selecting typeahead.
2.) Re-narrow after removing a search pill.
3.) Add quiet optional parameter to removeLastPill.
4.) Pre populate search pills in narrow.activate.
5.) Clear existing search pills on narrow.deactivate.
Description of above points:
1.) I tried out using the description from suggestions.lookup_table
to append a pill using appendValidatedData so that the description
had not to be calculated again. But the description in the suggestions
lookup contains html due to highlighting. This html is escaped when
inputed in a pill. An attempt was also made to remove the higlighting
by replacing the tags. But other espaced characters like < also
popped up, so it was better to use append_search_string.
3.) If one wants to refresh the pill using pill.clear and wants to
repopulate them, evaluating the event_handler associated with the
action of removing the pill may not be desired.
4.) Pill population code is added to narrow.activate. Pills are not
populated if the narrow was triggered by search as search handles the
addition and removal of pill by itself. The reason for not handling
search too in narrow.activate is to avoid clearing the pills and
repopulating them. Example of some of the triggers for narrow.activate
include `restore draft`, `topic change`,`sidebar`.
Also modifies tests for search.js
This forks off search_legacy.js and search_suggestion_legacy.js so
that we can continue running automated tests against the legacy search
code while we develop the input pills feature.
