We now only call compose_state.composing() in a boolean context,
where we simply care whether or not the compose box is open. The
function now also returns true/false.
Callers who need to know the actual message type (e.g. "stream" or
"private") now call compose_state.get_message_type().
This is mostly just moving methods out of compose.js.
The variable `is_composing_message`, which isn't a boolean, has
been renamed to `message_type`, and there are new functions
set_message_type() and get_message_type() that wrap it.
This commit removes some shims related to the global variable
`compose_state`; now, `compose_state` is a typical global
variable with a 1:1 relationship with the module by the same
name.
The new module has 100% line coverage, most of it coming
via the tests on compose_actions.js. (The methods here are
super simple, so it's a good thing that the tests are somewhat
integrated with a higher layer.)
This module extracts these two functions that get called by
several other modules:
start()
cancel()
It is a little bit arbitrary which functions got pulled over
with them, but it's generally functions that would have only
been called via start/cancel.
There are two goals for splitting out this code. The first
goal is simply to make `compose.js` have fewer responsibilities.
The second goal is to help break up circular dependencies.
The extraction of this module does more to clarify
dependencies than actually break them. The methods start()
and cancel() had actually been shimmed in an earlier commit,
and now they no longer have a shim.
Besides start/cancel, most of the functions here are only
exported to facilitate test stubbing. An exception is
decorate_stream_bar(), which is currently called from
ui_init.js. We probably should move the "blur" handler out
of there, but cleaning up ui_init.js is a project for another
day.
It may seem slightly odd that this commit doesn't pull over
finish() into this module, but finish() would bring in the
whole send-message codepath. You can think of it like this:
* compose_actions basically just populates the compose box
* compose.finish() makes the compose box do its real job,
which is to send a message
Previously drafts called compose.snapshot_message which would then
get the message object from compose.create_message_object. This method often
checked for the validity of stream/user recipients which would often cause tracebacks.
The new method in drafts.snapshot message just gets the data from the fields and
stores them in the draft model without any additional checking.
