Combines, both portico js and css into one bundle. This for now solve
the issue of an empty js bundle being generated by webpack for the
portico-styles stylesheet.
static/styles/scss/portico.scss is now compiled by webpack
and supports SCSS syntax.
Changed the server-side templates to render the portico-styles
bundle instead of directly requiring the portico stylesheet. This
allows webpack to handle stylesheet compilation and minification.
We use the mini-css-extract-plugin to extract out css from the
includes in webpack and let webpacks production mode handle
minification. Currently we're not able to use it for dev mode
because it does not support HMR so we use style-loader instead.
Once the plugin supports HMR we can go on to use it for both
dev and prod.
The downside of this is that when reloading pages in the development
environment, there's an annoying flash of unstyled content :(.
It is now possible to make a change in any of the styles included
by static/styles/scss/portico.scss and see the code reload live
in the browser. This is because style-loader which we currently
use has the module.accept code built-in.
Apparently, essentially every one of our landing pages extending
portico.html had two copies of portico.css included in their head
section; one from porticocustomhead (or the super of customhead) and
the other directly included.
Clean this up by removing all these duplicate inclusions of the
portico stylesheet.
This creates a dropdown in place of the normal register/login links
you get when logged out, with an option to go to the app or log out if
that appears you click on the avatar.
A bit more work is needed to make this look really good, but it's a
great start.
This allows CSS to discriminate by platform and show particular
content; in this case showing things with the attribute
[if-zulip-desktop] content only on “ZulipElectron”.
The policy here is essentially:
* Pages on the central server (documentation, etc.) are server_uri.
* Pages associated with a user's realm server (anything logged-in, plus
things like their login page) are realm_uri.
Changes relative path to an absolute path (that doesn't contain the
subdomain) for various links to
/create_realm, /api, /apps, /integrations, /hello, /terms, and the logged
out / (the Zulip in the upper left corner of portico)
I typically left links internal to the relevant pages (e.g. a link from
integrations.html to a subpage of integrations/) as relative links, and
changed external links from within the app to the absolute path (e.g. the
link to integrations from the gear menu).
This results in a substantial performance improvement for all of
Zulip's backend templates.
Changes in templates:
- Change `block.super` to `super()`.
- Remove `load` tag because Jinja2 doesn't support it.
- Use `minified_js()|safe` instead of `{% minified_js %}`.
- Use `compressed_css()|safe` instead of `{% compressed_css %}`.
- `forloop.first` -> `loop.first`.
- Use `{{ csrf_input }}` instead of `{% csrf_token %}`.
- Use `{# ... #}` instead of `{% comment %}`.
- Use `url()` instead of `{% url %}`.
- Use `_()` instead of `{% trans %}` because in Jinja `trans` is a block tag.
- Use `{% trans %}` instead of `{% blocktrans %}`.
- Use `{% raw %}` instead of `{% verbatim %}`.
Changes in tools:
- Check for `trans` block in `check-templates` instead of `blocktrans`
Changes in backend:
- Create custom `render_to_response` function which takes `request` objects
instead of `RequestContext` object. There are two reasons to do this:
1. `RequestContext` is not compatible with Jinja2
2. `RequestContext` in `render_to_response` is deprecated.
- Add Jinja2 related support files in zproject/jinja2 directory. It
includes a custom backend and a template renderer, compressors for js
and css and Jinja2 environment handler.
- Enable `slugify` and `pluralize` filters in Jinja2 environment.
Fixes#620.
In order to enable internationalization support in Zulip, and to use
Django internationalization tools, all strings in Zulip frontend needs
to be marked for translation.
