This mostly moves code, and it also removes some unnecessary
coupling to stream_data.js. The topic_data code purely
works in the stream_id space, so there's no need to set up
actual stream data for it.
We now call topic_data.add_message() and
topic_data.remove_message() when we get info about
incoming messages. The old way of passing in a boolean
made the calling code hard to read and added unncessary
conditional logic to the codepath.
We also have vague plans to change how we handle
removing topics, since increment/decrement logic is now
kind of fragile, so making the "remove" path more explicit
prepares us to something smarter in the future, like just
figure out when the last topic has been removed by calling
a filter function or something outside of topic_data.js.
Another thing to note here is that the code changed here
in echo.js is dead code, since we've disabled
message editing for locally edited messages. I considered
removing this code in a preparatory commit, but there's
other PR activity related to local echo that I don't want
to conflict with.
One nice aspect of removing process_message() is that
the new topic_data.js module does not refer to the legacy
field "subject" any more, nor do its node tests.
This commit introduces a per-stream topic_history class
inside of topic_data.js to better encapsulate how we store topic
history.
To the callers, nothing changes here. (Some of our non-black-box
node tests change their way of setting up data, though, since the
internal data structures are different.)
The new class has the following improvements:
* We use message_id instead of timestamp as our sorting key.
(We could have done this in a prep commit, but it wouldn't
have made the diff much cleaner here.)
* We use a dictionary instead of a sorted list to store the
data, so that writes are O(1) instead of O(NlogN). Reads
now do sorts, so they're O(NlogN) instead of O(N), but reads
are fairly infrequent. (The main goal here isn't actually
performance, but instead it just simplifies the
implementation.)
* We isolate `topic_history` from the format of the messages.
This prepares us for upcoming changes where updates to the
data structure may come from topic history queries as well
as messages.
* We split out the message-add path from the message-remove
path. This prepares us to eventually get rid of the "count"
mechanism that is kind of fragile and which has to be
bypassed for historical topics.
This new module tracks the recent topic names for any given
stream.
The code was pulled over almost verbatim from stream_data.js,
with minor renames to the function names.
We introduced a minor one-line function called stream_has_topics.
We now have all of our callers into recent_topics code just
receive a list of topic names from get_recent_topic_names().
This is more encapsulated than handing off tiny little
structures to the three callers, two of whom immediately
mapped the objects to names, and one of whom needlessly
used the now defunct name canon_subject field.
The consolidation here removes some "subject" references, and
now all lookup are by stream id, not stream name.
The diff here is a bit daunting, but it's mostly simplification
of tests and calling code. Two of the callers now need to look
up stream ids, but they are otherwise streamlined.
The main change here is to stream_data.js, and we replace the
`canon_subject` and `subject` fields with `name`.
The node tests have purged modules from cache that were
included via things like set_global(), but calling require
directly would leak modules into the next test, which made
a couple tests only work when you ran the whole suite. I
fixed those tests to work standalone. And then I now make
dependencies explicitly clear the require cache before we
require them in namespace.js.
This commit changes the key for recent_topics to be a
stream id. For streams that have been renamed, we will now
get accurate data on recent topics and active streams as
long as stream_data.get_stream_id(stream_name) returns a
valid value.
This commit changes stream_data.in_home_view() to
take a stream_id parameter, which will make it more
robust to stream name changes.
This fixes a bug. Now when an admin renames a stream
you are looking at, it will correctly show itself to
be un-muted. (Even with this fix, though, the stream
appears to be inactive.)
Some callers still do lookups by name, and they will
call name_in_home_view() for now, which we can
hopefully deprecate over time.
This is not a user-facing change, but it starts us down the
path to having the JS client be able to look up old stream
names for situations like people clicking old external links
or for live-update scenarios.
We used to have code scattered in multiple places to
calculate things like admin options, preview urls,
subscriber counts, and rendered descriptions for
streams before we rendered templates in the "Manage
Stream" code.
These are all consolidated into a new function
called stream_data.update_calculated_fields().
This is mostly code cleanup, but it also fixes a bug where
the "View Stream" button would not work for a newly created
stream.
When you subscribe to a stream, we now set a newly_subscribed
flag on the object, and we return true during the is_active()
call.
This solves the problem that immediately after you subscribe, you
don't have any messages in the stream, so it would appear active
by our old criteria.
This is still something of a workaround, as once you reload, the
stream will become inactive again, unless other messages come in.
A more permanent solution here would be to have the backend
indicate newly subscribed streams to us (apart from the initial
event), but we may not really need that in practice.
If a url is present in stream description, it will be
rendered as a clickable link under /streams page.
Tweaked by tabbott to use the separate rendered_description element to
avoid duplicate rendering and to live-update.
Fixes#1435.
This adds a button to #subsciption page called "View Stream"
that narrows the user to that particular stream.
This fix involves typical changes to JS/CSS to add new features,
and we also add a "preview_url" field to the sub object in
stream_data.js.
Fixes#3878
If we get invalid events related to stream subscribers, we now
exit earlier to prevent ugly tracebacks. We may eventually
want to upgrade some of these warnings to errors, once we fix some
of our live-update bugs. In particular, we don't yet live-update
users when streams go from private to public, so if you add/remove
subscribers to a newly-public stream that a user still thinks is
private, they will not be able to handle the event through no
fault of the codepath that happens during the add/remove.
(There was a method with the same name before, but it wasn't
being used. The new version will accept stream_id instead
of name, and we will use it as part of deactivating streams.)
Earlier commits removed all uses of page_params.email outside
of people.js, and it turns out we have page_params.user_id, so
we don't even need page_params.email for seeding the data.
This is a major change to the /#subscriptions page, converting it to
by a side-by-side list of streams and their settings in an overlay.
There are no new features added/removed, but it's a huge changeset,
because it replaces the old navigation logic and moves the stream
creation modal to appear in the right side of this overlay.
* 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 like `assert_equal` as arguments; we fixed
these 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.
We now use stream_id as our key to rename streams, which
should prevent a few race conditions long term. (We are
still possibly contending with other events that use
stream_name as a key, so this is not perfect.)
