The resolve topic warning can feel like clutter in the event that the
compose box is empty (which often occurs when the user has no intent
to send a message), so we configure the validation logic to only
display the notice when the compose box is non-empty.
We take some care to minimize work the function is doing, beacuse it
is called on every keystroke in the compose box.
Fixes: #21155.
Starting composing a message to a new recipient will clear the compose
box. Previously, we were saving drafts before doing so only in the
compose_actions.respond_to_message code path (i.e. when starting a
reply). Logically, this behavior should apply regardless of why we're
initiating a new message, so it belongs in compose_actions.start.
Fixes#21128.

It's 2022 and the WHATWG no longer recognizes the term URI. Everything
is now a URL or a type of URL. Which is great because it's way less
confusing. Details here:

This commit creates the function warn_if_topic_resolved that checks if
the topic to which the user is composing is resolved or not. First it
checks if the stream exists and then if the topic name starts with the
RESOLVED_TOPIC_PREFIX. If the conditions are true, a warning banner is
shown to the user.
It also shows to the user a button to unresolve the topic, if he has
the permission to do so.
Fixes#20584.
We received a complaint about the generation of multiple duplicate
drafts for a single message. It was discovered that the likely cause
of this was how we were handling clients that were frequently
suspending/unsuspending, we would initiate a reload when we discovered
this, and expect the `beforeunload` handler to save the draft. This
behaved correctly, however, we would also save the compose state and
fill it in via `preserve_state` in reload.js. The important detail
here is that `preserve_state` would not encode and preserve the
`draft_id` for the current message, partly because it had no way of
knowing the `draft_id` of the draft... since we have not saved it yet,
the `beforeunload` event happens after `preserve_state`. As such,
performing any action that would trigger a draft to be saved, eg
pressing Esc to close the compose box, would save a duplicate draft of
the same message.
To resolve the above bug, we (1) ensure that we call
`drafts.update_draft()` in `preserve_state`, this returns a draft_id
to us, which we (2) ensure that we encode as part of the url and (3)
set on the `#composebox-textarea` as a `draft-id` data attribute,
which we check the next time we try to save the draft, post reload.
Note that this causes us to save the draft twice, once from
preserve_state and then again from the `beforeunload` handler, but we
do not add two drafts since the second update_draft call just edits
the timestamp because it finds the `draft-id` data attribute on the
`#composebox-textarea` set by the first call.
This fixes unexpected cursor repositioning behavior when the cursor was
positioned before or inside the "Quoting..." element.
The comments document the new logic, but roughly we aim to just
preserve the logical position of your cursor after replacing the
placeholder.
We also factor out a shared variable for the "Quoting..." string which
will allow us to tag it for translation in a future commit.
If you used "Quote and reply" to start composing a message, and
started typing before receiving the original message body from the
server, we ended up resetting your cursor to the start of the line
after the quote for two reasons:
* We were incorrectly fetching the pre_cursor for our replacement
operation before doing the server fetch, which meant we ignored any
editing done while waiting for the server to respond.
* Worse, we actually fetched the original cursor position before
inserting the "[Quoting...]" placeholder text. So we were guaranteed
to have at least some amount of error in the cursor position.
Fixes#20379.
The `make_compose_box_original_size` function is designed in such a
way that it should only be called when it actually needs to resize the
compose box. In 3 of the 4 places that called it, we checked whether
the compose was already the original size; this fixes the 4th to do
the same.
We improved it in the following ways:
* Show the error message with the maximum character
limit.
* Disable the send button.
* When the user tries to send the message via hotkeys
i.e, When "Press enter to send" is enabled or the user
uses "Shift" + "Enter" shortcut, Flash the red border
around the compose box.
Also renamed `check_and_set_overflow_text` to
`check_overflow_text` for better clarity.
This commit makes a working toggler in compose_actions that adds the
compose-fullscreen class to the compose that removes the max-height
from the compose textarea and adds flex elements above so that the
height automatically adjust with the device height. This results in
making the compose box full screen sized.
The compose_height.js maintains the state of the height of the compose
box. Also, when the compose box is closed, the compose box is reset to
it's default behaviour and original height. So, everytime user need
not toggle off the compose full size and only for specific message
it is used.
It also adds destroy autosize on compose_height state change.
It destroys the autosize of textarea when the full
screen sized compose box is toggled on. And everytime when it is
turned off, it reinitialises the autosize. This also adds a
condition in autosize_textarea to only autosize when composebox
is not in full height state.
Fixes#17660
Fix a bug where the compose box cut the message without warning the user
the message pasted was longer than the allowed. It was fixed by stopping
cutting the message off and showing an indicator whenever the limit exceeds
and removing the indicator as soon as message gets less than that.
The cut off for showing the indicator is set as 90% of the limit.

Right now, on clicking `quote and reply` on any message, the quoted
message is always inserted at the top of compose-box irrespective of
the current cursor position. Also, after insertion of the quoted
message, the cursor is shifted at the end of the compose box.
This commit changes this behaviour to insertion of quoted message
at the current cursor position with a newline at the end of quote
and moving the cursor position to that newline after insertion.
A newline is added at the beginning of quoted message only if there
was some content already present in compose box before the previous
cursor position.
Tested on Google Chrome and Firefox browsers on Ubuntu dev environment.

This commit first moves the compose.validate() function out
with the functions that are needed by it. Then one by one
checked for which function is now not needed in compose.js.
This moves all validation related functions out of "compose.js"
to "compose_validate.js".
Splitting compose announce variables out of compose.js.
This commit moves the "user_acknowledged_all_everyone" and
"user_acknowledged_announce" out of compose.js to reduce
cyclic dependency of compose_validate on compose.js.
Moving wildcard mentions to compose_validate.
The wildcard mention settings are mostly used while validating.
Also to reduce the cyclic dependence of compose in
compose_validate, the related wildcard mentions are moved out to
compose_vaidate.js.
This also converts reset_acknowledged functions to set values
by passing values.
This commit adds a new trigger for compose.start that is
"new private message". It will clear the message recipients
whenever compose.start is called with this trigger.
This solves the bug, when a person is in a PM narrow and
clicks the new private message button, it opens the
composebox with the recipients filled out with whoever
you're narrowed to, rather than opening a new, blank PM.

While writing a long message in compose-box, the last few messages of
the current stream gets covered by the compose-box and it gets pretty
annoying sometimes trying to figure out a way to read the last message
of the stream while writing. Right now, the only way to get past this
is to resize `compose-textarea` by using the resize tool at the
bottom-right corner of the `compose-textarea`. But, that small resize
tool is not always readily visible to the user.
The proposed solution in this commit is to reset the `max-height`
property of `#compose-textarea` everytime `bottom_whitespace_height`
is resized such that the total height of `#compose` is always less
than or equal to the height of `bottom_whitespace_height`. Doing
this, the compose-box never covers the last message of the current
stream.
The only problem with this is that if the compose-box is closed at the
time of bottom-whitespace resize, we cannot find the
`compose_non_textarea_height` and so, we cannot reset the max-height
of `#compose-textarea`. To solve this, max-height of
`compose-textarea` is also reset everytime a new compose-box is opened
according to the value of `bottom_whitespace_height` at that time.
Thus, if the compose-box is already open at the time of
bottom-whitespace resize, the max-height of `#compose-textarea` will
also get reset at the same time, whereas, if the compose-box is closed
at the time of bottom-whitespace resize, the max-height of
`#compose-textarea` won't get reset at that time, but it will surely
get reset whenever the user will open the compose-box.
Tested on my Ubuntu Development Environment on Chrome and Firefox browsers.

We split recent_topics module into recent_topics_(ui + data + util).
This allows us to reduce cyclical dependencies which were
created due to large list of imports in recent topics. Also, this
refactor on its own makes sense.
Previously, the hook to save drafts when closing the compose box was a
focusout on #compose-textarea. This mostly worked, and was essentially
invisible to users (because the animation to notify you about saved
drafts was in the close_compose_ui widget that is hidden), but you'd
end up seeing the tooltip appear (in the wrong place) if you closed
the compose box immediately after sending a message with Tab+Enter.
The correct fix is for the drafts hook to be just before we start
clearing compose box state, inside hide_box.
This was difficult to catch in a development environment, since one
doesn't use that flow with "Enter sends" enabled.
The default label for empty narrows depends on whether it's a
stream/topic narrow or a PMs narrow.
We leave some default text in compose.hbs for reply label
because it take some time for the js to display the
correct label.
We move compose from being a part of message feed to
being a part of middle column which is a common parent of recent
topics and message feed. This allows us to use a common compose
box for both the views. Fortunately, compose actions were
independent of this change so there weren't any evident
side effects.
Fixes#17543
This commit make compose_ui.autosize_textarea handle most of the autosize
logic of the textarea. It audits for any logic that is trying to do
autosize manually and replace it with compose_ui.autosize_textarea.
This allows to have better check for when the textarea is autosized.
Mainly done this so that we can have a check on #compose-textarea when
to autosize and when not to, thus helping to have all the logic in only
one function.
