Currently, when there are some old starred messages
in a topic, it is possible that some of them won't be
unstarred on doing "Unstar all messages in topic".
This happens when those messages haven't been fetched
yet from the server, and we have no way to verify if
they actually belong to the topic.
This commit fixes that by changing this mechanism to
first fetch all starred messages in the topic from
the server, and then send their IDs back to the backend
to unstar them.
While doing this, we assume that the user does not
have more than 1000 starred messages in that topic.
Note that, we still depend on the local data to
decide whether or not the "Unstar all messages in
topic" option should be shown in the topic popover.
A method similar to the above cannot be used here, because
making server requests before opening the popover
could visually slow down the popover opening.
Using local data for the topic popover would probably
not be a big problem, because users would want to
unstar all messages in a topic probably after noticing
that there are a lot of them, meaning there was at least
one starred message from that topic which was already
fetched, which is sufficient for us to conclude that
we need to show the option in the topic popover.
Fixes#17790
This adds support for unstarring all (starred)
messages from a particular topic, from the topic
popover.
The earlier implementation of this in #16898
was reverted in bc55aa6a01 (#17429)
because it had two problems-
1. The crash reported in bc55aa6a01
was due to message_store returning undefined. This happens
when the message itself hasn't been fetched from the server
yet, but we know that the message is starred from the ids
in `page_params` in `starred_messages.js`.
This commit handles this case explicitly.
Note that, we simply ignore those messages which
we haven't fetched, and because of this, it may
happen that we don't unstar some messages from that
topic. The correct implementation for this would
be to ask the backend for starred IDs in a topic.
2. The earlier implementation actually unstarred **all**
messages. This was because it grabbed the topic and stream_id
from the topic popover `data` attributes, after the topic
popover had been closed. This passed `undefined`, which
the function then interpreted as an action to unstar all
messages.
With this commit, we use the confirm_dialog widget,
which eliminates the need to store this data in the DOM.
Previously, if a user had zero total starred messages,
we would still show the "Unstar all messages" in the
left sidebar on opening the starred messages popover.
This commit adds a check to show button only if the
user had non-zero starred messages. This is done
because-
1. The button, when shown when the user has zero
starred messages, is redundant and may be confusing.
2. Clicking on the button when having zero starred
messages sends a zero-length array to the backend,
resulting in HTTP 400 error.
This reverts commit 6fba17599f (#16898).

Adds a "unstar messages in topic foo" option to the topic sidebar
popover, if there are any starred messages in that topic, known
to the frontend.
Altered existing "unstar all messages" confirmation modal to mention
the topic name, in the case that it was opened by the topic sidebar
codepath.
This is just a v1, and will not unstar old messages from that
topic, if they have not been fetched by the frontend.
Fixes#12194

ES and TypeScript modules are strict by default and don’t need this

This commit was originally automatically generated using `tools/lint
--only=eslint --fix`. It was then modified by tabbott to contain only
changes to a set of files that are unlikely to result in significant
merge conflicts with any open pull request, excluding about 20 files.
His plan is to merge the remaining changes with more precise care,
potentially involving merging parts of conflicting pull requests
before running the `eslint --fix` operation.

With webpack, variables declared in each file are already file-local
(Global variables need to be explicitly exported), so these IIFEs are

In this commit, I've added a feature to unstar all the starred
messages. This is useful, e.g., for folks who are using starred
messages to keep track of things they should come back when next at
their desktop.
The event flow is the standard one for a feature with a confirmation modal:
(1) User clicks on unstar all messages.
(2) We display a confirmation modal; if the user confirms, we send a
request to the backend to clear all starred messages.
(3) The events system sends that UI update back to us, removing the
stars from the UI.
Fixes#11401.
The following elements in the top left corner
are major components of our app:
All messages
Private messages
Starred messages
Mentions
We can now find them directly:
$('.top_left_all_messages')
$('.top_left_private_messages')
$('.top_left_starred_messages')
$('.top_left_mentions')
Before this, we had to build up complicated selectors
like below:
exports.get_global_filter_li = function (filter_name) {
var selector = "#global_filters li[data-name='"
+ filter_name + "']";
return $(selector);
};
I don't think any newbie would know to grep for "global_filter",
and I've seen a PR where somebody added specific markup here
to "Private messages" because they couldn't grok the old scheme.
Another thing to note is that we still have a "home-link"
class for "All messages", which overlapped with portico
code that had the same name. (There were some inaccurate
comments in the code relating to the tab bar, but we don't
actually have a way to click to the home view in the tab
bar any more.) I'll eliminate that cruft in another commit.
For this commit the four elements still have the
"global-filter" class, since there's some benefit to being
able to style them all as a group, although we should give
it a nicer name in a subsequent commit.
Most of this PR is basic search/replace, but I did add a
two-line helper: `top_left_corner.update_starred_count`
