This migrates Zulip to use a dramatically better set of names and
aliases for our emoji set, defined in emoji_names.py (which is in turn
manually generated from our hand-curated CSV file).
This should significantly improve the experience of using Zulip's
emoji picker and emoji typeahead for finding what one is looking for.
Credits to @rishig, Alice Lai, and @rntharu for naming all the emoji.
Names are inspired by iamcal, gemoji, and unicode names, sources like
emojipedia and iemoji, google search results for articles about emoji,
and emoji usage on twitter.
This commit switches our emoji infrastructure to use 256 color indexed
64px spritesheets. Earlier we were using non-indexed 32px spritesheets
which were blurry on high dpi displays. These indexed spritesheets not
only provide a crispier display but are also smaller in size.
This commit also removes the `emoji-datasource` package as a dependency
as all the data is now sourced from individual datasource packages.
Fixes: #7862.
This commit helps reduce clutter on the navigation sidebar.
Creates new directories and moves relevant files into them.
Modifies index.rst, symlinks, and image paths accordingly.
This commit also enables expandable/collapsible navigation items,
renames files in docs/development and docs/production,
modifies /tools/test-documentation so that it overrides a theme setting,
Also updates links to other docs, file paths in the codebase that point
to developer documents, and files that should be excluded from lint tests.
Note that this commit does not update direct links to
zulip.readthedocs.io in the codebase; those will be resolved in an
upcoming follow-up commit (it'll be easier to verify all the links
once this is merged and ReadTheDocs is updated).
Fixes#5265.
Emojis which are represented by a sequence of codepoints or emojis
with ZWJ are not included until we implement a mechanism for dealing
with their unicode versions.
Fixes: #6279.
Tweaked by tabbott to not remove it from lister.py, linter_lib, and
friends, since those are intended to support both Python 2 and 3
(we're planning to extract them from the repository).
This hack was used to fix the broken number emojis in the emoji picker.
It was broken because of the partial migration to the iamcal dataset.
See issue #4775 for more details.
This hack was used to fix the broken flag emojis in emoji-picker.
It was broken due to the incomplete migration to iamcal dataset.
See issue #4775 for more details.
This commit switches to use sprite sheets for rendering emojis
in all the remaining places, i.e., message bodies and composebox
typeahead. This commit also includes some changes to notifications.py
file so that the spans used for rendering emojis can be converted
to corresponding image tags so that we don't break the emoji rendering
in missed message emails since we can't use sprite sheets there.
As part of switching the bugdown system to use sprite sheets, we need
to switch the name_to_codepoint mappings to match the new sprite
sheets. This has the side effect of fixing a bunch of emoji like
numbers and flag emoji in the emoji pickers.
Fixes: #3895.
Fixes: #3972.
This function was used get a black and white glyph for an emoji if there
was no corresponding image file present in the `NotoColorEmoji.ttf` but
due to the new emoji farm setup code, we no longer need this.
This function was used to color transparent number emojis. We no
longer need to do this since now we have remapped number emojis
to the corresponding colored emojis in the new emoji farm.
We have symlinked the old emoji farm to the old emoji farm and hence
we don't use the images from the `NotoColorEmoji.ttf` file. This
function was used to generate a map from codepoint to filename by
parsing the ttx file passed to it. We no longer need this map.
This commit extracts out the `generate_map_files()` function from
the `dump_emojis()` function. This function generates various data
files like `emoji_codes.js`, `name_to_codepoint.json` etc which are
used by webapp, bugdown etc.
This commit removes the old emoji farm generation code in favor of
`setup_old_emoji_farm()`. Instead of having individual images in old
emoji farm we now symlink them to the images in the new emoji farm.
This commit adds `setup_old_emoji_farm()` function to the build_emoji
script. This will change the way of setting up the old emoji farm.
Earlier we used to extract the glyphs corresponding to each emoji from
the `NotoColorEmoji.ttf` file. But since now we already have individual
images in the new emoji farm(from iamcal's 'emoji-datasource-google' npm
package) we can just symlink old emoji files to the new image files. This
apart from helping us in cleaning up the `build_emoji` script will also
help in reducing the increased size of the release tarball due to the
addition of new emoji farm.
This enforces our use of a consistent style in how we access Python
modules; "from os.path import dirname" is a particularly popular
abbreviation inconsistent with our style, and so it deserves a lint
rule.
Commit message and error text tweaked by tabbott.
Fixes#6543.
This causes `upgrade-zulip-from-git`, as well as a no-option run of
`tools/build-release-tarball`, to produce a Zulip install running
Python 3, rather than Python 2. In particular this means that the
virtualenv we create, in which all application code runs, is Python 3.
One shebang line, on `zulip-ec2-configure-interfaces`, explicitly
keeps Python 2, and at least one external ops script, `wal-e`, also
still runs on Python 2. See discussion on the respective previous
commits that made those explicit. There may also be some other
third-party scripts we use, outside of this source tree and running
outside our virtualenv, that still run on Python 2.
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 tool was used for downloading sprite sheets from iamcal's
repository. Since now we have moved to using `emoji-datasource`
npm package, this tool is no longer required.
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.
'$COMMIT' was originally printed in '$COMMIT_FILE_PATH' before all
respective files were downloaded, meaning that this step
wouldn't be repeated if one download failed. This commit prints
'$COMMIT' only after all downloads were successful.
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).
