The first bug fixed here has been around for a long
time--we were redundantly updating unread counts
indirectly via muting_ui.initialize(). The
unread counts also get updated in
unread_ui.initialize(), when we have more valid
state. (And it's worth noting here that the unread
counts get updated yet again once message fetches
complete.)
The second bug was a very recent regression from
my recent stream name -> stream id cleanup in the
muting system. We now depend on stream_data to
initialize muting data, so we need to initialize
muting.js slightly later in the process.
These fixes are intertwined, because they were both
somewhat caused by the anti-pattern of having
muting_ui.js initialize unread_ui.js and muting.js,
instead of doing more direct, fine-grained initialization
from ui_init.js.
Essentially we replace this code:
exports.update_muted_topics = function (muted_topics) {
muting.set_muted_topics(muted_topics);
unread_ui.update_unread_counts();
};
with this:
exports.initialize = function () {
exports.set_muted_topics(page_params.muted_topics);
};
And the modules load like this:
stream_data
...
muting
...
unread_ui
And we don't need any page-load initialization for muting_ui,
which is mostly used for Settings/Muted topics.
This fixes the most core data structures inside of
muting.js. We still use stream names for incoming
data to set_muted_topics and outgoing data from
get_muted_topics.
This will make us more resilient to stream name changes.
Before, if you were logged on when a stream rename
occured, topics that were muted under that stream would
appear to be unmuted. (You could fix it with a reload,
but it can be jarring to have a bunch of unread messages
appear in your feed suddenly.)
Fixes#11033
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 reverts commit c7f710b8d4.
Because the back end still stores muted topics fundamentally using
stream name as a key, trying to cut over the client to use stream
id was just making things more brittle. Mutes would work after
renaming the stream, which was progress in the change that we
revert here, but only until page load. The other problem, which
is more severe, is that the order of page loading functions would
cause no mutes to happen at page load time. This could be fixed
to some degree, but we should do a deeper fix on the back end.
Previously, set_muted_topics was calling update_unread_counts once for each
topic in the input; this results in poor performance when there is a large
number of muted topics.
Fixes: #3605
This change will allow us to test the muting feature on
staging. Any topic named "muted" will automatically be
muted. You can also mute any other topic on the console:
muting.mute_topic('devel', 'ios');
current_msg_list.rerender();
More UI around this experiment will be coming soon, as well
as support for muting entire streams.
The muting module keeps track of which topics are muted, but a
user can expand muted messages, and once that happens, the
messages are marked with the "force_expand" flag that gets
persisted to the back end.
Muted messages are rendered in similar fashion to the summarized
rows, and as part of unifying some of that code, we have
made it so that expanding a summarized section doesn't remove
individual flags related to summaries; instead, the messages
get the force_expand flag set.
