Modified heavily by punchagan to correctly handle narrowing to huddles, and
for `group-pm-with` narrows. Also, fixed broken tests in the original PR.
Closes#5876
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`
Apparently, we didn't have one of these, and thus had a moderate
number of generally very old violations in the codebase. Fix this and
clear the ones that exist..
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
If a user is narrowed by `is:private`, `pm-with`, or `group-pm-with`,
change the `New topic` button to say `New stream message` instead for
added clarity.
Also, add to the Casper and Node tests for this behavior.
Fix#9072.
The new list_cursor class is more generic and saves the state
of your cursor across redraws.
Note that we no longer cycle from bottom to top or vice versa.
The node test code that was removed here was kind of complex
and didn't actually assert useful things after calling methods.
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.
When in the stream-searchbar, a user can now use the arrow keys to iterate
through the suggestions. Therefore the currently selected list element is
assigned a CSS class 'highlighted_user'.
The main functional testing is done with casper but node test are still
included to keep the high coverage.
Line-wrapping issues are resolved. Night-mode CSS handling is included.
This reverts commit eb2bdb706 "sidebar: Narrow to latest topic if
not in stream." On a trial deploy, many users were surprised and
preferred the old behavior.
We now narrow to the latest topic in stream if we are narrowing from
outside the stream, and show all topics grouped together (previous
default) if we are already narrowed to the stream.
Fixes#7555.
This involves updating filter.js, mostly. The
tests were updated appropriately for this change,
which also involved changing a caspar test for
narrowing.
* In most cases, eslint --fix with the right comma-dangle settings was
able to update the code correctly.
* The exceptions were cases where the parser incorrectly treated the
arguments to functions as lists/objects and added commas; these are
detectable with linters, and we fixed manually. Since this is test
code, we can be reasonably confident that just fixing the failures
suffices to correct any bugs introduced by making changes
automatically.
Chaining together `wait*` functions can create race conditions in the
frontend tests. To avoid race condition, we need to insert `then`
function between two `wait*` functions.
