Now that we have a scroll container for the PM list,
it doesn't make much sense to limit the number to
five.
We may resurrect this feature if "more conversations"
actually fetches more conversations, but it doesn't
currently.
We also may soon make it easy to limit PMs to just
unread messages, which will make the max-5 feature
perhaps less necessary, and we don't want to make
the UI overly complicated.
When new PMs came in, we would do a little
animation to show you the incoming message.
Unfortunately, it was broken and would animate
too many things. (The code looks at a single
var to see if PM counts changed, but there are
actually mulitple PM counts. We could fix that,
but we decided that this feature just isn't
worth the complexity.)
We still animate incoming mentions.
Fixes#11868.
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.
This fixes a longstanding UI issue when you have way too many recent
private message conversations, as you can now scroll down the list to
find what you're looking for.
Fixes#5384.
The following elements in the top left corner
are major components of our app:
All messages
Private messages
Starred messages
Mentions
We can now find them directly:
$('.top_left_all_messages')
$('.top_left_private_messages')
$('.top_left_starred_messages')
$('.top_left_mentions')
Before this, we had to build up complicated selectors
like below:
exports.get_global_filter_li = function (filter_name) {
var selector = "#global_filters li[data-name='"
+ filter_name + "']";
return $(selector);
};
I don't think any newbie would know to grep for "global_filter",
and I've seen a PR where somebody added specific markup here
to "Private messages" because they couldn't grok the old scheme.
Another thing to note is that we still have a "home-link"
class for "All messages", which overlapped with portico
code that had the same name. (There were some inaccurate
comments in the code relating to the tab bar, but we don't
actually have a way to click to the home view in the tab
bar any more.) I'll eliminate that cruft in another commit.
For this commit the four elements still have the
"global-filter" class, since there's some benefit to being
able to style them all as a group, although we should give
it a nicer name in a subsequent commit.
Most of this PR is basic search/replace, but I did add a
two-line helper: `top_left_corner.update_starred_count`
Fixes#3380.
The blueslip warning mentioned in #3380 were from paths ending at
people.email_list_to_user_ids_string. Some additional blueslip warnings
were raised after using that function.
Although we can put a validation check somewhere in the call stack of
people.email_list_to_user_ids_string, this function itself is used to
validate the operand by the higher order functions, so it wouldn't make
sense to put a validation check before that. Instead, removing the
blueslip warning altogether was chosen.
people.email_list_to_user_ids_string was replaced by
people.reply_to_to_user_ids_string which is a blueslip-free version
of the same. Other blueslip warnings were removed.
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.)
This is a pretty pure code move, where we moved stuff from
message_store to pm_conversations:
insert_recent_private_message() -> recent.insert()
recent_private_messages -> recent.get()
The object message_store.recent_private_messages was not
encapsulated in a function before this change. Now it is
hidden in the scope of pm_conversations.recent.
Both of the modules touched here maintain 100% line coverage.
This commit add $.create(), which allows you to create a
jQuery object that just has a name to identify it, as opposed
to some selector or HTML fragment. It's useful for things that
are really used as stubs.
This also fixes a bunch of the existing tests to use $.create().
Before this fix, you could actually just do $('some-stub'), but
now we enforce that the input to $() looks like a valid selector
or HTML fragment, and we make some exceptions for things like
window-stub and document-stub.
Hopefully this will make it more explicit that zjquery does
not truly simulate DOM, but it instead allows you to dynamically
set what you want the results of $('foo').find(some_selector)
to be.
We now stub templates.render() to see what data gets passed in
to the template, rather than using jQuery to inspect the DOM that
gets created. This changes the nature of the test to be less about
integration with the templating layer and more about how we pass
data into the template.
To compensate, we add more assertions to the relevant test
in templates.js.
