We had an anonymous callback for drafts that was
hard to read. It's much easier to flatten the code,
give functions actual names, and stub them as needed
in the unit tests.
The first bug fixed here has been around for a long
time--we were redundantly updating unread counts
indirectly via muting_ui.initialize(). The
unread counts also get updated in
unread_ui.initialize(), when we have more valid
state. (And it's worth noting here that the unread
counts get updated yet again once message fetches
complete.)
The second bug was a very recent regression from
my recent stream name -> stream id cleanup in the
muting system. We now depend on stream_data to
initialize muting data, so we need to initialize
muting.js slightly later in the process.
These fixes are intertwined, because they were both
somewhat caused by the anti-pattern of having
muting_ui.js initialize unread_ui.js and muting.js,
instead of doing more direct, fine-grained initialization
from ui_init.js.
Essentially we replace this code:
exports.update_muted_topics = function (muted_topics) {
muting.set_muted_topics(muted_topics);
unread_ui.update_unread_counts();
};
with this:
exports.initialize = function () {
exports.set_muted_topics(page_params.muted_topics);
};
And the modules load like this:
stream_data
...
muting
...
unread_ui
And we don't need any page-load initialization for muting_ui,
which is mostly used for Settings/Muted topics.
This function used to be called initialize_from_page_params(),
and we called it indirectly through `subs.js`.
Now we call it directly from `ui_init.js`, which gives us a
bit more control over how things are initialized. In fact,
this sets us up for the next commit, where I fix a recent
regression I introduced.
This is mostly about cleaning up the naming convention
for streams and topics, but it also adds a test that
specifically tests the muted-topic case (without any
other factors that would prevent a notification).
Before this commit, it was possible to change the
API for muting topics and get false positives, even
when the test setup was clearly broken.
The stream_list test that was fixed here was sort of
broken. It accomplished the main goal of verifying
what gets rendered, but now the data setup part is
more like the actual app code (and simpler, too).
This fixes the most core data structures inside of
muting.js. We still use stream names for incoming
data to set_muted_topics and outgoing data from
get_muted_topics.
This will make us more resilient to stream name changes.
Before, if you were logged on when a stream rename
occured, topics that were muted under that stream would
appear to be unmuted. (You could fix it with a reload,
but it can be jarring to have a bunch of unread messages
appear in your feed suddenly.)
Fixes#11033
Like the other similar commits, we were doing the same work in all
code paths, just with a much more error-prone approach.
We can also now remove the now-unused finish_initial_narrow function.
Like the other commits in this series, we were already doing this in
all of the callers of load_messages; this centralizes that logic in a
less ad-hoc feeling way.
We no longer use or need the start_initial_narrow function.
Previously, each individual caller of load_messages that passed
num_before > 0 would do its own manual management of fetch_status;
now, we just do it inside load_messages.
The stream/topic edit areas now have these ids:
#stream_message_recipient_stream
#stream_message_recipient_topic
They are pretty verbose, but being able to grep
for these without noise does have some value.
We can eliminate the janky `setup_page` methods
and just pass in section from `hashchanged`.
This sets us up to handle browser history more
nicely when you load '#settings' and we could essentially
redirect you to '#settings/your-account' (or similar
things). A future commit will address that.
We also use `launch` as the new entry point, which
is more consistent with other modules.
The prior name of this was a bit inaccurate, as we no
longer ever hide the menu item for non-admins. Also,
it belongs more naturally in `gear_menu.js` at this point.
Also, we remove one call to this, which was in a place
where it was no longer necessary.
We now run the code to disable widgets every time
we reload a section, which was the original intention
of the code, but the call to it only happened when
you first launched the page.
We also continue to run this logic for live updates
of is_admin, although it's worth noting that the
code still only handles the "demotion" case of going
from admin to non-admin. (If somebody makes you an
admin, you continue to need to reload to get
widgets enabled.)
This ensures the "account settings" UI for managing a user's own email
address uses the delivery email, since that's what users care most about.
Eventually, we'll need to add support for at least viewing both email
addresses in "account settings", but this is the right long-term
behavior.
This new setting is still hidden in the UI when not in the development
environment, because the feature isn't ready for production, but
merging this will help simplify future work on the feature.
Previously, Topic editing was offered in the UI even to message
senders and organizations admins only if the message was no more than
one day old. This was correct for the "community topic editing" case,
but not for message senders and organization admins.
While we're at it, this also centralizes some previously haphazard
logic to always call message_edit.is_topic_editable().
Tweaked significantly by tabbott to fix the logic.
Closes#10568.
The goal here was to enforce 100% coverage on
parse_narrow, but the code has an unreachable line
and is overly tolerant of bogus urls. This will
be fixed in the next commit.
Also adds relevant tests and documentation. We currently
do not narrow to a new topic, and instead just narrow to
the stream. Similarly, we do not narrow to a PM if any of
the recipients are invalid.
We ignore keystrokes like alt-left-arrow and alt-right-arrow,
so that the browser can do back/forward.
We may need to refine the handling of ctrl/alt/shift in the
future, but now we only support single-key operations.
This change removes all the complexity around
get_hash_group(), and we now only go into the
"same overlay" logic within Settings or within
Manage Organization, but not between them.
This means if you're in Settings but hit the back
button to something under "#organization" we now
do "more stuff", since we want to err on the side
of reloading sections, etc.
There's not much flicker in my testing, and
this is not a super common transition, anyway.
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.
This fixes a bug where hitting the "n" hotkey was
causing double work related to the hashchange system.
The code is now organized like this:
do_open_create_stream() does the GUI piece
We call the above directly for hash changes.
For in-app actions, whether clicks or hotkeys,
we call open_create_stream(), which delegates
most of the work to do_open_create_stream() but
also updates the hash.
We now let color_data keep its own state for
unused_colors, so that we longer have to pass in
a large list of unused_colors every time we want
to assign a new stream color.
This mostly matters at startup, where we might
be cycling through 5000 streams. We claim all
the unused colors up front.
Each operation now has an upper bound of expensiveness,
where the worst case scenario is basically popping
off the first element of a list of <= 24 colors.
The algorithm is now deterministic, too, to make
it easier to test. It's unclear whether random color
assignment ever had much benefit, and it made unit
testing the algorithm difficult. Now we have 100%
line coverage.
Fixes part of #10902.
