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 small modules nicely breaks down the
responsibilities of topic_list and stream_list
when it comes to zooming in and out of topics
(also known as hitting "more topics" or "All
Streams).
Before this, neither module was clearly in
charge, and there were kind of complicated
callback mechanisms. The stream_list code
was asking topic_list to create click handlers
that called back into stream_list.
Now we just topic_zoom set up its own click
handlers and delegate out to the other two
modules.
This allows several modules to no longer need
to import `narrow` (or, in our current pre-import
world, to not have to use that global).
The broken dependencies are reflected in the node
tests, which should now run slightly faster.
Currently on zoom out from stream topics, scrollbar didn't scroll back
to opened stream. Because call to scroll-to-stream func isn't called
after all streams view is displayed. So wrong stream element is
passed to func.
Fix this by calling scroll-to-stream func after all-stream-list view
is displayed.
This commit prepares the frontend code to be consumed by webpack.
It is a hack: In theory, modules should be declaring and importing the
modules they depend on and the globals they expose directly.
However, that requires significant per-module work, which we don't
really want to block moving our toolchain to webpack on.
So we expose the modules by setting window.varName = varName; as
needed in the js files.
This is preparation for enabling an eslint indentation configuration.
90% of these changes are just fixes for indentation errors that have
snuck into the codebase over the years; the others are more
significant reformatting to make eslint happy (that are not otherwise
actually improvements).
The one area that we do not attempt to work on here is the
"switch/case" indentation.
We don't need to special-case the stream cog handler when we
handle the click event for the surrounding header. The browser
will fire the event for the cog first, which stops propagation.
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.
We consistently either pass a `then_select_id` into narrow.activate,
or were using the select_first_unread option. Now, we just compute
select_first_unread based on the value of then_select_id.
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.
Here are the functions in top_left_corner:
get_global_filter_li: pure code move
update_count_in_dom: simplifed copy of similar function in stream_list.js
update_dom_with_unread_counts: pure code move, split out from function
of same name in stream_list.js
delselect_top_left_corner_items: pure code move
handle_narrow_activated: pure code move + rename
handle_narrow_deactivated: pure code move, split out from from function
of smae name in stream_list.js
This function was actually de-selecting stream sidebar items
before. Now we just explicitly de-select top-left items in it,
and we do stream-sidebar stuff in update_stream_sidebar_for_narrow().
This fix simplifies how we re-render topic lists when we
re-narrow or zoom out from a topic list.
* The topic_list.zoom_out() no longer gets called as
part of re-narrowing, and we eliminate the clear_topics
option.
* For all situations where we narrow to a filter that does
not have a topic, we simply call the new function
clear_topics().
* The stream_list code no longer calls remove_expanded_topics()
in cases where the new narrow has a topic. This allows us
to optimize away scroll/flicker churn a little more easily.
As part of this, we rename maybe_activate_stream_item() to
update_stream_sidebar_for_narrow(), since the function clears
stuff as well as turning stuff on.
This is mostly a pure code extraction. It makes the call
to reset_to_unnarrowed() happen later in sequence.
The order of operations here is mostly unimportant, but
there may actually be some tiny user-facing benefit
in terms of having the logic happen more sequentially.
BEFORE:
reset streams
fix top left
redraw streams
AFTER:
fix top left
reset streams
redraw streams
If you go into "more topics" for a stream with many topics,
and then scroll down, and then zoom out again with "All
streams", we make sure the active stream is still in view.
We have code that can automatically scroll an element into "view"
in its container. We use this for stream sidebar rows inside the
stream list.
Generally the stream sidebar rows are small enough to fit into
the container, and the prior algorithm worked correctly for that
scenario.
If you have lots of topics, however, and a short screen, the
algorithm was being too aggressive. For example, if the top
wasn't showing, it would scroll the top into view, but at the
cost of scrolling the bottom out of view.
This fix makes the general scrolling algorithm more tame.
Part of the user-facing problem is that the element we pass
into the scrolling code for the stream sidebar rows is bigger
than the part of the row that actually should be shown on
screen. Nevertheless, it makes sense here to make the general
algorithm more robust.
This function no longer sets properties to false, so the supported
way of doing this is to instead use prop(foo, false). Some tests
had to be fixed to accommodate this.
We eliminate `.get(0)` calls in buld_stream_list.
The easy case is that we stop building jQuery objects
for the splitters only to pull out the DOM immediately.
The more subtle case is that we also don't do `.get(0)` calls
to get DOM out of our individual list items. By passing
in full jQuery objects to `append()`, we should prevent ourself
from orphaning the old objects, which may in the future have
things like tooltip logic attached to them.
Now we use a consistent approach to find the list items for
Home/Starred messages/Mentioned in the upper corner.
In particular, we get rid of the complicated
iterate_to_find() function.
Given a stream id, we now find list items using the internal
data structures we created when we built the sidebar, rather than
using a jQuery selector.
This change should lead to clearer tracebacks when our
assumption about the stream list's list items get
violated, and we also short circuit some code in the
caller that tries to scroll to the active stream.
In stream_list.js we have some code to handle narrow activations,
and we were calling unread_ops.process_visible() only for
stream activations, not for PM-related activations, etc., so
our approach was inconsistent.
It also turns out that the call is redundant, since we call
unread_ops.process_visible() when the message pane scrolls as
part of updating the content.
Ideally, we want a more rigorous approach where we make this
call precisely when the new messages become visible to the user,
but the purpose of this fix is to de-clutter the stream_list
logic.
If you were narrowed to an unpinned stream, and then pinned it,
we were mostly redrawing the sidebar correctly, but we weren't
setting the active-filter class. Now we accomplish this by
calling maybe_activate_stream_item(), which also reduces some
code duplication. (The new code introduces a bit of extra logic
to do `stream_li.addClass('active-filter')`.
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.
Rather than having get_stream_li() look up stream id using
stream name, we force the callers to pass in the stream id.
This adds an extra line to most of the callers for now, but
this will eventually change as we fix some of the callers to
have their callers pass in stream_id.
In places where we now call stream_data.get_stream_id() to
get the stream id, we will be more resilient toward stream
renamings, at least until the next reload, since
stream_data.get_stream_id() can resolve old names that
are stored when we process stream-rename events.
We no longer have get_stream_li() delegate to get_filter_li(),
which simplifies the logic in get_filter_li() and makes
get_stream_li() more direct.
We also move the two functions closer to each other in the file.
The function modals.is_active() can see if modals are open
without having to look at the DOM. This should make it snappier
to type in the compose box. Even if the speedup is pretty minor,
not having to worry about jQuery slowness should make it easier
to diagnose future compose box issues.
The new function gets used in other places, too, where performance
isn't so much an issue.
If we pin a stream, we now scroll up as needed to make sure the
stream is still in view after pinning it. (Note that we don't do
this in the un-pinning case, since users un-pinning stuff may be
doing cleanup on pinned streams they no longer care about.)
Fixes#1714.
When we activate a stream (or one of its topics), we now scroll
the sidebar so that the stream comes into view. We scroll it
just enough to get it to the top or the bottom, depending on
where it had been offscreen before.
Despite the length of this commit, it is a very straightforward
moving of code from narrow.js -> narrow_state.js, and then
everything else is just s/narrow.foo()/narrow_state.foo()/
(with a few tiny cleanups to remove some code duplication
in certain callers).
The only new functions are simple setter/getters that
encapsulate the current_filter variable:
narrow_state.reset_current_filter()
narrow_state.set_current_filter()
narrow_state.get_current_filter()
We removed narrow.predicate() as part of this, since it was dead
code.
Also, we removed the shim for narrow_state.set_compose_defaults(),
and since that was the last shim, we removed shim.js from the app.
Before this change, we would move "dormant" streams to the bottom
of your stream sidebar, but only if you had 40+ streams.
Now we do this in all cases to be more consistent.
This commit also changes the redraw strategy when we remove rows.
Before this change, we were doing incremental updates, but now we
call build_stream_list to do a complete rebuild. This was partly
motivated by adding the new divider, which would have complicated
the incrememental approach when you removed the last remaining
dormant stream.
The <hr> is supposed to separate the pinned streams from the unpinned
streams, so if the <hr> is the first element (checked by doing
$hr.prev().length === 0), then it means there are no longer any pinned
streams and therefore it isn’t necessary to have a divider.
Fixes: #4395.
The pinned streams were sorted in alphabetic order (i.e. Verona appears
before devel). The reason is that after we plucked pinned streams out from
stream_data.subscribed_streams(), we didn't sort them again, so they
remained in the alphabetic order used in stream_data.
However, we did sort unpinned streams explicitly by using custom compare
function in stream_list.js (by default sort by lowercase stream name,
but when there are more than 40 subscribed streams, sort active streams
first). That's why this issue only relates to pinned streams.
Changes were made to sort pinned streams by lowercase stream name, always,
whether they are active or not (different from unpinned streams).
Tests were added to ensure this overall sort order is correct, i.e.
1. pinned streams are always sorted by lowercase stream name.
2. pinned streams are always before unpinned streams.
3. unpinned streams are sorted by lowercase stream name, if there are more
than 40 subscribed streams, sort active streams at the top, among active
and inactive streams, still sorted by lowercase stream name.
Fixes#3701
In a96fdd18b1, I introduced a few
regressions related to the blue highlighting that happens
in the top left corner for Home, Private messages, Starred
messages, and @-mentions. Basically, we weren't clearing
the highlighting when we thought we were, so Home would stay
blue too long and the other filters wouldn't turn blue.
We went a surprising long time before noticing the regression.
This fix adds a function called deselect_top_left_corner_items()
to clear the blue backgrounds, so that will happen more explicitly.
And then I restored a line of code to pm_list.js that puts the
blue in place when you are in an is:private narrow (vs. a
specific PM narrow).
The fix works by having build_stream_sidebar_row()
automatically update its own unread count when we
build a sidebar row. Currently we rebuild sidebar
rows when we pin/unpin rows.
As an aside, we currently don't really need to rebuild
the sidebar row when we pin, since we're only moving
the DOM, not altering it. But this may change in the
future, so I decided to leave that code path in place.
We may decide to do things in the future like showing
pinned streams with bolder fonts or special icons or
whatever.
Fixes#2902
Some of the work here was done Tomasz Kolek.
When we click on "more conversations" in "Private Messages,"
we call it being "zoomed in." Before this change, when
new PMs arrived, we would rebuild the list and zoom out
again. Now we track the zoomed_in state with a variable.
Also, if you are zoomed in and switch from one PM narrow
to another, we also keep you zoomed in.
This fix also removes some extraneous/redundant code.
