We avoid complicated code to update unread counts
by just using vdom.js.
One small change here is that if click on "more
topics", we replace it with the spinner instead
of putting the spinner after it. This saves us
a redraw under the new scheme.
Due to try-catch deoptimization, Babel strict mode for…of loops run
about 5× slower in Firefox than Babel loose mode for…of, native
for…of, or forEach (which are all about the same speed). Chrome
doesn’t seem to care.
For some reason we need to explicitly add the core-js Symbol polyfill
near the beginning of the common bundle. Otherwise it gets loaded at
the wrong time and the Casper tests fail.

Babel strict generates more code for [...x] than you’d like, while
Babel loose mode assumes x is an array.

We had a plan at some point to use this to display a phone icon or
something for users who would receive push notifications if you
messaged them. IT's not clear that feature was a good idea in any
case, but it certainly shouldn't be synced as presence data; it would
change >100x less often than the rest of presence and so should likely
be synced differently, maybe as a property on user. So it's best to
delete this prototype.

When quoting a message with fenced code blocks without a language,
we used to have ambiguity in which '```' fence terminates the quote.
This commit adds explicitly non-interfering fences, which fixes the
above issue as well as makes the raw message easier to quickly read.
Fixes#12446.
This commit includes a new `stream_post_policy` setting,
by replacing the `is_announcement_only` field from the Stream model,
which is done by mirroring the structure of the existing
`create_stream_policy`.
It includes the necessary schema and database migrations to migrate
the is_announcement_only boolean field to stream_post_policy,
a smallPositiveInteger field similar to many other settings.
This change is done to allow organization administrators to restrict
new members from creating and posting to a stream. However, this does
not affect admins who are new members.
With many tweaks by tabbott to documentation under /help, etc.
Fixes#13616.
This fixes the buggy behavior for streams which inherits the notification
setting from UserProfile, and are actively opened in "Streams > Stream
settings", if a user has opened two browser windows, and changes the
notification setting from "Settings > Notifications", then the changes
don't reflect such "Streams > Stream settings" notification setting
checkboxes for such stream.
Partially fixes: #12304.
Here we have attached our handler to `.sub_setting_checkbox` so
`e.currentTarget` will return element with class `.sub_setting_checkbox`
but `e.target` will return exactly which element we have clicked, which
could be a child of `.sub_setting_checkbox`. So instead of,
```
$(e.target).closest(".sub_setting_checkbox")
```
we can use
```
$(e.currentTarget)
```
which is more clean and intuitive.
- `e.currentTarget` is less popular which could be the reason behind using
two step hack to get the targetted element.
Rather than defining two different jquery event-handlers for two different
events, we can use a single jquery handler as the function is the same for
both handlers.
Since it took a lot of effort to debug the original issue that caused
us to introduce suspect_offline, it seems worth writing a comment
explaining why we won't see that issue here.
We now use user_ids for presence, so we don't need
to worry about races related to unknown emails
being sent to us. Now we just update the data
structure based on user_id, and
it will be there when we render the presence
widget for that user_id, or else it will
simply be ignored.
It's not clear to me whether we still need
dont_block here, so I didn't touch that code.
Here is the commit that added the suspect_offline
flag, for easy reference:
f207450cdb
This flag affects page_params and the
payload you get back from POSTs to this
url:
users/me/presence
The flag does not yet affect the
presence events that get sent to a
client.
If you look at info_for, it clearly never returns
`undefined`, so this defensive code isn't preventing
any bugs.
Also, we are doing a better job now of filtering
user_ids in upstream code.
This is defensive code for the scenario that we
have a user_id in presence but not people. This is
unlikely to occur by the time that we actually render
the buddy list, which is the context for this code.
We have previously been reporting an error here via
the people code, but we add an additional warning.
Also, we filter the user_id from the result.
This reverts commit d84646f091 (which

In the future, any property which doesn't have any dependent setting can be

Previously the sender was not included in display_recipient when
a private message was locally echoed. This broke the copy conversation
link functionality, if the user try to copy the link immedeatly after
sending the message. This issue is present only during local echo.
This was fixed by including the recipient of the user during
local echo.
Fixes#13547.
Edited the warning to clearly state that most members/most stream members
will be notified on using wildcard mentions, along with the specific
mention (e.g. @ALL, @everyone and @stream).
Did a separate check for all wildcard mentions in util.js and stored the
corresponding mention in wildcard_mention inside compose.js.
Fixes: #13636
This change is in series of de-duplication of code in "Other permission"
section for various dropdowns.
Here rather than using "by_anyone" and "disabled" for the `value` attribute
of options, we use actual numeric values. As a result, we don't need to
manually handle to extract the data to be sent to the backend on saving.
This change is in series of de-duplication of code in "Other permission"
section for various dropdowns.
Here rather than using "by_admins_only" and "by_admins_only" for `value`
attribute of options, we use actual numeric values. This helps in
de-duplicating lot of code which is vulnerable to bugs.
For few settings like `waiting_period_threshold` it makes sense to have the
"value" attribute of option to have a value other than the actual setting
value because multiple settings are depending upon this dropdown, so
handling them in JS code makes more sense. But for many settings (which has
integer values), we have followed a wrong trend over the time of
representing every new dropdown with human-readable values and manually
handling them in JS Code, where it makes more sense to use actual setting
value. The result of which is code has become less concise, sensible and
less likely to be mistaken.
We now use vdom-ish techniques to track the
list items for the pm list. When we go to update
the list, we only re-render nodes whose data
has changed, with two exceptions:
- Obviously, the first time we do a full render.
- If the keys for the items have changed (i.e.
a new node has come in or the order has changed),
we just re-render the whole list.
If the keys are the same since the last re-render, we
only re-render individual items if their data has
changed.
Most of the new code is in these two modules:
- pm_list_dom.js
- vdom.js
We remove all of the code in pm_list.js that is
related to updating DOM with unread counts.
For presence updates, we are now *never*
re-rendering the whole list, since presence
updates only change individual line items and
don't affect the keys. Instead, we just update
any changed elements in place.
The main thing that makes this all work is the
`update` method in `vdom`, which is totally generic
and essentially does a few simple jobs:
- detect if keys are different
- just render the whole ul as needed
- for items that change, do the appropriate
jQuery to update the item in place
Note that this code seems to play nice with simplebar.
Also, this code continues to use templates to render
the individual list items.
FWIW this code isn't radically different than list_render,
but it's got some key differences:
- There are fewer bells and whistles in this code.
Some of the stuff that list_render does is overkill
for the PM list.
- This code detects data changes.
Note that the vdom scheme is agnostic about templates;
it simply requires the child nodes to provide a render
method. (This is similar to list_render, which is also
technically agnostic about rendering, but which also
does use templates in most cases.)
These fixes are somewhat related to #13605, but we
haven't gotten a solid repro on that issue, and
the scrolling issues there may be orthogonal to the
redraws. But having fewer moving parts here should
help, and we won't get the rug pulled out from under
us on every presence update.
There are two possible extensions to this that are
somewhat overlapping in nature, but can be done
one a time.
* We can do a deeper vdom approach here that
gets us away from templates, and just have
nodes write to an AST. I have this on another
branch, but it might be overkill.
* We can avoid some redraws by detecting where
keys are moving up and down. I'm not completely
sure we need it for the PM list.
If this gets merged, we may want to try similar
things for the stream list, which also does a fairly
complicated mixture of big-hammer re-renders and
surgical updates-in-place (with custom code).
BTW we have 100% line coverage for vdom.js.
We mostly needed this for Casper tests, and that
usage was eliminated in the prior commit.
There was also some strange defensive code from
ecc42bc9f8 that
is really ancient and which I am eliminating:
const email = row.attr("data-email");
if ($("#deactivation_user_modal .email").html() !== email) {
blueslip.error("User deactivation canceled due to non-matching fields.");
ui_report.message(i18n.t("Deactivation encountered an error. Please reload and try again."),
$("#home-error"), 'alert-error');
}
If the code was there to protect against live
updates for email changes, then we no longer
have to worry about that, since we use user_ids
now as keys.
Or it might have to do with some ancient bug
where you could pop open two modals at once
or something. You can actually change users while
the modal is open (which is kinda strange, but ok),
and it works fine.
When testing this, I ran into the glitch that we
don't open redraw the Deactivated Users panel after
going into the User panel and deactivating a user.
Now that we have the type situation of having anchor support passing a
string, this is a much more natural way to implement
use_first_unread_anchor.
We still support the old interface to avoid breaking compatibility
with legacy versions of the mobile apps.
This makes the code more readable, by just passing the anchor through
without changing its field name back and forth.
There's no reason for this parameter to involve parsing and integer --
it should be a number in all incoming code paths.
The feature is used for editing stream descriptions as well, and in
any case, what's important is that it's a content-editable widget (aka
a form of input box).
This fix recently went on master, although it
hasn't actually been deployed yet (not even to czo),
so user impact should be zero:
0fa67c84d8
The fix mostly improved things, but it broke the
logic for pill containers. The symptom was that
if you tried to autocomplete "Cordelia" in the
pill box we'd instead invoke the "c" hotkey and
try to compose to a stream.
In templates we determine checkboxes are disabled by using the following
`if` clause,
```
{{#if (or (and is_muted notification_setting) realm_setting_disabled)}}
disabled="disabled"
{{/if}}
```
and it is more intuitive to do such calculation in javascript code, so we
added an `if_disabled` attribute in `settings` context which replaces
logical operations from `if` statement.
So for non-notification settings, it is
```
is_disabled: check_realm_setting[setting]
```
where check_realm_setting[setting] is same as realm_setting_disabled.
and for notifiaction settings it is,
```
ret.is_disabled = check_realm_setting[setting] || sub.is_muted;
```
Profiles of typing in the Zulip webapp's compose box after opening the
stream creation widget showed that hotkey.processing_text was a
significant expense. There's no good reason for this -- the function
just needs to inspect the focused element; it just was written with a
sloppy selector.
While there's a secondary issue that, there's no good reason for this
extremely latency-sensitive code path (typing an additional character)
to be doing something extremely inefficient.
I removed a slightly confusing code comment, which I
will address in a follow up commit. Basically,
"slight smile" still doesn't win over "small airplane"
when you search for "sm", which kind of defeats the
purpose of having popular_emojis for the typeahead
use case. This is a problem with sort_emojis, though,
so when the comment was next to the list of popular
emojis, it wasn't really actionable.
Using startsWith is faster than indexOf, especially for long strings
and short prefixes. It's also a lot more readable. The only reason
we weren't using it was when a lot of the code was originally written,
it wasn't available.
We only convert the query to lowercase outside the
loop for an Nx speedup, where N = number of items.
And then we use startsWith instead of indexOf, which
means we don't senselessly search entire strings
for matches.
(We've had startsWith polyfills for a while now.)
Unfortunately, unless a string start with the
exact casing of the query, we still create an
entire lowercase copy of the string for the case
insensitive match. For the English use case
(and many other languages), we could further
optimize this by slicing the string before
converting it to lowercase.
Unfortunately, you have languages like German
with the straße/STRASSE problem. It's not clear
to me how we handle them with the current code,
but I don't want to break that yet.
We use the nice es6 syntax to create the get_item
helpers (in the callers and for the default
value in the function).
Also we use better es6 style for the looping.
