Updates `get_success_stamp()` function to use the `emoji-datasource`
package's version while calculating success stamp so that an emoji
cache rebuild gets triggered automatically if the version is changed.
This commit does the following things:
* Instead of using a manual tool for downloading sprite sheets, use
`emoji-datasource` npm package.
* Modify the `build_emoji` script to use sprite sheets from the npm
package.
Bumps PROVISION_VERSION.
Fixes: #4730.
Moves creating the emoji folder from the provisioning script to
the build_emoji script.
Fixes the fact that the emoji cache directory wasn't being created
when not using the provision.py script.
Due to differences between the codepoints of flag emojis in
`emoji_map.json` and iamcal's dataset, we need to patch the
css classes for the flag emojis temporarily until the migration
to iamcal's dataset is complete inorder to render them properly.
There is a difference between the images of flag emojis in our
old emoji farm and iamcal's spritesheets and since we have not
yet switched to using spritesheets for displaying emojis in
messages, there is a difference between the flag emojis as
rendered in messages and in emoji pickers.
Modify the spritesheet generation code to account for the differences
between emoji_map.json and iamcal's dataset. Due to the differences
between the two mappings, some emojis like 1️⃣, 2️⃣ etc were not
getting rendered properly in the two emoji pickers where we are using
the iamcal's spritesheets for rendering them. This was so because there
was no CSS class corresponding to the codepoints of these emojis(as
mapped using emoji_map.json) in our spritesheet CSS(generated using
iamcal's dataset).
Fixes: #4775.
This removes scaling from the emojis by changing the background size to
a lower value and then allowing for the widths and heights of the
emojis to be proportionally smaller.
The transform: scale property would cause many more repaints in Chrome
and other browsers than should have been necessary which would render
messages above and below the feed light grey boxes that would
momentarily flash as blank before filling with content.
Modified by tabbott to use a percentage in the background-size.
Fixes#4660.
Add code to download iamcal's sprite sheets and generate CSS files required
for displaying these sprite sheets using emoji's unicode codepoints rather
than their names.
Use `emoji.json` to create a emoji catalog and add it to
`emoji_code.js` file. This catalog contains the unicode
codepoints of all the emojis grouped according to their
category. Emojis are sorted according to the `sort_order`
defined in the iamcal's dataset.
Move zulip-emoji from its current location `images/emoji` to
`images/emoji/unicode` and add a symlink in `images/emoji`
to zulip.png in `images/emoji/unicode`.
Previously, if you searched for ':offi..' you would see both 🏢 and
:office_building: as possible completions, both of which are shortcodes for
the same unicode codepoint (and hence which have the same image). Also, we
sort the emoji in our emoji pickers alphabetically by shortcode, and so the
images for 🏢 and :office_building: show up next to each other, which
looks like a bug. This removes :office_building: as a shortcode, along with
several hundred other duplicates. It leaves some duplicates in that won't
give autocomplete or alphabetical ordering a problem, like (🚗,
:automobile:).
Replaces the hardcoded list of emoji_names and unicode_emoji_names in
static/js/emoji.js with a list generated from emoji_map.json, both to get
the list out of version control and so we can start modifying it for our
autocomplete. This does not change the contents of emoji_names. It sorts and
removes duplicates from unicode_emoji_names (causes no change in behavior,
since unicode_emoji_names is only used as if it were a set).
