This is part of work to break some of our
nastier circular dependencies in preparation
for our es6 migration.
This commit should facilitate loading leaf-like
modules such as people.js before all of the things
that reload.js depends on.
There was previously a race condition where reload.is_in_progress was
set after `activity.js` sent the presence request to the server, but
before we process the response; in that race condition, we still
shouldn't send blueslip errors to the server.
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.
We never make an actionable distinction between the "unknown"
presence status and the "offline" status, so we now
just use "offline" as the status for persons who don't
have recent presence records that the client knows about.
(Usually, users without presence rows have never been online,
or they have been deactivated, or they have been offline so long
that they don't show up in our date-limited queries.)
For bots and users who have not logged in for a long time the presence information is not known. For the these users make the presence indicator hidden.
For small-ish realms (<= 250 users), we ensure that the presence
info includes all realm users the front end knows about, even in
cases where the server sends down a slimmed version of presence
data. We make the users "offline" by default, of course.
This commit sets us up to optimize larger realms without concerns
of breaking small realms. Small realms may want to continue to
show all users, even users who may have been offline several weeks,
since it doesn't clutter their API as much as it would for big
realms.
Most of this code was simply moved from activity.js with some
minor renaming of functions like set_presence_info -> set_info.
Some functions were slightly nontrivial extractions:
is_not_offline:
came from activity.huddle_fraction_present
get_status/get_mobile:
simple getters
set_user_status:
partial extraction from activity.set_user_status
last_active_date:
pulled out of admin.js code
We also fixed activity.filter_and_sort to take user_ids.
