This immediately shows the menu for which messages to move when the
user can edit the stream/topic of a message, but not the content of
the message. This balances the concern that this menu might feel like
clutter when doing a content edit with the fact that most of the time
when one visits this menu without content edit permissions, one will
want to be reassured that one can choose which messages to move.
Fixes#19196.
This commit removes role field from StreamSubscription
type and also removes SubscriptionRole type since we are
not moving forward with stream administrator concept and
instead working on new permssions model as per #19525.
This commit removes the stream-admins option for wildcard mention policy
in webapp since we are not moving forward with stream administrator
concept and instead working on new permssions model as per #19525. There
is no functional change, we only remove the by_stream_admins_only key and
instead use by_admins_only with the correct code value.
We declare bot type variables globally in the module rather than in
set_up function as we would extract a new function in further commit
that will use these.
This commit renames get_bot_owner_widget_and_set_role_values to
edit_bot_post_render, since we will modify the function to do
a couple of more things in further commits and this would be
an appropriate name rather than mentioning all the things in
the name.
We rename the file because in further commits we will use
the same modal for the bot edit form in Personal settings
section and that can be done by bot-owners who are not
admins.
This commit removes the redundant code to update the
"src" attribute of bot avatar on changing avatar added
in f7ca0117e6.
We do not need to add version to the url since the backend
already sends url with latest version number and also we
already re-render the bots page after recieving realm_bot/update
event.
This is a prep commit for enabling a two section layout in the
buddy_list. The sections will be for "users" and "others".
Hence, this commit performs a simple rename of:
- `user_presence_row.hbs` -> `presence_row.hbs`
- `user_presence_rows.hbs` -> `presence_rows.hbs`
And then a search and replace of `user_presence_row` to
`presence_row` (which also handles the second rename).
It also makes one modification in buddy_list.js where it changes a
template variable we're passing from "users" to "row_members".
This is a prep commit for adding a two section layout to the
buddy_list. It frees the "other_key" name which we intent to use
extensively in future commits.
We are abandoning jQuery animation because it build up queue
when there is continous switch in animation state.
i.e When user goes ↑↓↑↓↑↓… at the bottom.
Also added `aria-hidden` to `#scroll-to-bottom-button-container` so
that this widget doesn't interfere with screen readers.
Removes the `mac-cmd-style` CSS rule that was introduced in
d3e8348 when support for updating keyboard shortcuts with
the `Ctrl` key to the Mac cmd key, `⌘`, was added.
Removing the rule makes the font-size and font-family CSS more
consistent with other keyboard shortcuts in the documentation.
Also, removes the parameter in `adjust_mac_shortcuts` that added
the CSS class / rule to these specific keyboard shortcuts.
This click handler reset the stream creation form; it's not clear why
that behavior would be useful, or why we'd want anything to happen
when clicking in these background areas, so the correct thing to do is
just remove the handler.
Fixes: #21785
Uptil now, both names and descriptions of streams and user groups were
matched to show the typeahead suggestions. This led to unexpected
behaviour like for a clear mention of a certain stream, the typeahead
menu suggested a completely different stream which had a mention of
the first stream in it's description.
To prevent such bugs and also since description matching is not really
useful for streams and user groups, only names will be matched.
Updates the `adjusts_mac_shortcuts` function to render shortcuts
with the `Fn` key as a separate html element (e.g. `Fn` + `arrow`)
instead of rendering the shortcut as one block (e.g. `Fn + arrow`).
Also, because keyboard shortcuts should be rendered with each key
as a separate html element, updates `adjusts_mac_shortcuts` to
only change html elements that are an exact match to a keyboard
key. Html elements with whitespace will be ignored (e.g. `Enter`
becomes `Return`, but `Enter or Backspace` is not changed though
it previously would have been changed to `Return or Delete`).
Fixes#22112 (in combination with #22273).
New shared `table-striped` CSS class, adds top and bottom side border

Removes CSS rule that added a left margin and padding to not
first-child paragraph elements and `codehilite` class div elements
in ordered list elements.
Rule was added in 2017 and likely was correcting the alignment of
these elements due to another CSS rule that has since been removed.
We make the tooltips of the button in the top row consistent.
This includes -
* Removing the bold formatting from the "Go to conversation" tooltip.
* Converting the "Expand compose" tooltip to Tippy.

After some discussion with the community, we've concluded that in most
cases, one probably wants to notify only the destination thread, not
the source location; so let's make that the default.
We preserve the model that we remember what you did during the last

an operation N times in a row.
Fixes#21838.
Follow-up to commit bbda7a5bb0.
The "Announce stream" hint tooltip earlier read "Organization
administrators can change this in in the organization settings."
It wasn't obvious that "this" refers to the stream the notification
will go to, so the tootltip message has been modified to reflect this.
This commit adds a function to disable the subscribers tab for private
streams if a user is not subscribed to the stream and is not an admin.
We also live update the state of subscribers tab on changing privacy
of stream.

The PR changes the following behaviors and UI:
1. Removes the checkmark button to mark the topic as read in
"Recent Topics".
2. Make the unread messages counter be the button for marking
all messages in the topic as read. The unread messages counter
is made clickable and tooltip is set to "Mark as read".
In "recent_topic_row.hbs", remove the checkmark button and add
classes and attributes to ".unread_counter" to give it desirable
behaviour on clicking.
In "zulip.css" set "opacity: 0.7" for ".on_hover_topic_read".
In "recent_topics.css" we set the background-color of unread counter to
hsl(105, 2%, 50%) to decrease fading of unread counter.
Fixes: #21654
Previously, when there were no unread messages in a topic, the topic
name was allowed to expand into the space allocated to the unread
count. This matched the behavior of the left sidebar. However, the
left sidebar has extremely limited horizontal space, and being able to
display a few extra characters is useful; recent topics does not have
this constraint. Further, recent topics wraps long topic names on
overflow, which looks ugly when using use the unread count's space.
So we switch to having the unread count element consume space even
when there is no count, using `visiblity:hidden`.
Fixes a part of #19449
Set the default_language as cookie and reload the page so that
the spectator can immediately see the language change in effect.
We can reload the page forcefully for spectators since there is

may lose the selected message on doing so.
This requires a new dependency, to be able to set cookies from
frontend JavaScript.

This PR implements literal emoji match in the emoji picker (for reactions)
and in emoji typeaheads (in compose box)
Tested on mobile browser by opening the emoji picker with the
reaction button, selecting an emoji via the native keyboard, and
ensuring the selected emoji appears in the emoji picker’s search
result.
Fixes#21714.
In order to make it possible to search emojis with emoji literals,
we need to make the reaction_type of every emoji available in the
emoji objects used by the composebox.
Changes the admin UI for the communities directory checkbox to use
the `realm_push_notifications_enabled` page param instead of the
`server_web_public_streams_enabled` page param.
Updates help center documentation about the communities directory
to have clearer information about how the setting works for
self-hosted communitites.
This commit changes the error message, shown while trying to deactivate
a non existent stream from stream settings UI, from "Invalid stream id"
to "Invalid stream ID".
This fixes the bug where spectators can have filters selected
in recent topics if a logged in user has selected filters in the
same browser.
Log in, select a filter and log out to reproduce this.
We directly pass the user group object to get_recursive_subgroups as we
already have the object in the caller. We can add separate function which
will accept id as parameter in the future if required.
This commit attempts to refactor the `handle_bot_form` by adding new
field for `Role` in the `Manage bot` modal.
It uses the `/json/users/` url for passing the role of a bot and allow
changing it as in case of a normal user.
Fixes: #21105
This commit adds a new "Role" column for the bot-list table in the
org-settings, and removes the user_id column from the same.
The role of a bot is fetched using the `get_user_type` function inside
bot_info().
This also adds the `sort_role` in the sort_fields which sorts the role
column in the bot-list table.
New function `hide_all_user_info_popovers` closes all user info
popovers, instead of calling multiple functions everytime to close
user info popover now we can just call this new function.
This commit is a follow-up of #21460.
We add `padding-right` to input field so that input do not overlap with
`x`and add `text-overflow: ellipsis` to make overflow less jarring.

In very large communities, computing page_params can be quite
expensive. Because we've moved the homepage for communities with web
public streams enabled to be the Zulip app, and it's common for
automation to frequently poll the homepage of a Zulip organization,
we'd like to keep those homepages cheap (as the login pages are).
We address this by prototyping something we may end up wanting to do
anyway -- having the web application do a `POST /register` API call in
order to fetch most page_params, and merging those with the mostly
webapp configuration page_params that we leave in the / response for
convenience.
This exact implementation is messy in a few ways:
* We rely on the assumption that ui_init.initialize_everything happens
before all code that needs to inspect the page_params properties we
are fetching via /register. This is likely mostly true, but nothing
in the implementation enforces it.
* The bundle of ~25 keys that are in page_params ideally would be
considered individually, with some moved to the /register API
response and perhaps others eliminated or namespaced inside a
webapp_settings object.
* It's weird to have the spectators network sequence different that
from logged-in users, and potentially a maintainability risk.
* We might be able to arrange that the initial `/` response be
cacheable, now that we're no longer embedding our metadata inside
it. We've made no effort to do that as of yet.
Despite those issues, this commit solves an immediate problem and will
give us helpful experience with a model closer to the one we'll want
in order to happily support a web client that can be run locally
against a production Zulip server's data.

Previously, we were masking the realm_description raw Markdown with
rendered Markdown, which was a type error.
When we switch to calling /register explicitly in a few commits, this
results in a bug, since the raw Markdown ends up taking priority.
Fix this by just using a different name for this different concept.
If an organization does not allow to send private messages, it will
not display the "Send private message" option in the profile popover.
Currently, there are only two options in settings, first is to allow
every type of user to send PMs and the second is to disable send PMs
for everyone, hence I am just checking that the second option is not
selected.

This commit swaps the parameter order in is_direct_member_of
function to have user_id followed by user_group_id since user_id

In settings, clicking on deactivate bot button will lead to open
confirmation modal, and displaying all status update notifications
inside this confirmation modal.
This commit is a follow-up of zulip#21490.
This function will replace `settings_ui.do_settings_change` for api
requests which confirms from modals to make loading indicator and
error handling easy and clean inside modals.
Also replacing some previous code blocks of `channel` with this function
in `settings_users.js` which was being used for confirmations modals.
This has the side effect of doing better in-modal error handling for
accessing the user info modal from the "Manage user" button in user
info popovers.
Additionally, we now show a loading indicator while waiting for the
server in these modals.
CZO: #frontend > Error handling inside modals.
The tooltip for the "Announce Stream" hint was not consistent with the
rest of the settings so it has now been replaced with the standard tippy

This change decreases the time required to open compose
after clicking a message. The amount of time reduced varies with pc.
The time reduction was around 0.4s to 0.6s for me after using a
6x CPU slowdown. This may not sound convincing but the profile
uploaded in #21979 clearly shows the root cause of having a message
click take 10s was the `:visible` query.
Fixes#21979
The previous "Join the {realm_name} community" was awkward for
organizations that put "community" in their realm name, e.g. "Join the
Zulip development community community".
Hiding these UI widgets causing layout issues -- specifically, the
position of the \vdots menu looks off with these elements missing.
Enabling this buttons (and opening the login_to_access modal on click)
provides a light advertisement for these features, seems to be the
standard practice for forum-like software, and will also be easier to
maintain.
This effectively reverts f26a76a9d8, in
addition to adding new logic.
After playing with several options, it feels cleanest to just have the
closed-compose area look exactly how it would if you were logged in;
popping up the login_to_access modal when clicking those buttons feels
reasonable. The extra button felt buggy, and this customization helps
make the Zulip layout more consistent for spectators.
This effectively reverts 5ffc95f6bb.
We change the generic message copy while we're at it.
Also, show login_to_access modal when a spectator tries to access
a stream that either does not exist is is not web-public.
Previously, clicking MOVED/EDITED buttons on a message would pop up
the message edit history modal, which would (after a brief loading
indicator) get a 400 error for the server and then pop the
login_to_access modal on top of the error in that modal.
Fix this with an explicit login_to_access check. This feels like the
cleanest way to avoid churning the UI (hover behaviors, etc.) as would
be required to make this not clickable.
Fixes#21963.
The changes in the last few commits changed the semantics of the
organization default language to no longer be the primary source of

Takes care of updating display of the button on moving from

Adds a drop-down menu for updating the organization type in the
`organization_profile_admin` page. Implements front end for
this setting to work / update like other organization profile,
notification and permissions settings.
One special note about this dropdown is that the listed options
should change once an organization has successfully set a type
other than 'unspecified' in the database. To accomplish this
the initial settings overlay build checks the realm_org_type
value in the page_params to select the correct options list,
and when the dropdown value is reset, either for update events
or for discarding changes, the page_params value is again used
to check for whether the 'unspecified' value should be present
as an option in the dropdown menu.
Adds basic node test for the `server_events_dispatch`.
Also adds a new help center documentation article for this
organization setting that is linked to in the UI.
Fixes#21692.
Runs when there's a change in recipient fields of compose box.
Moved the `update_fade` function to this.
This is a preparatory commit to add a feature to go to the
narrow you're composing to where we want to update the
button visibility when the recipients changes. The update could be
run in the function this commit adds.
There are two tangled issues addressed here:
* We were weirdly using a scaled up copy of fa-angle-up, rather than
fa-chevron-up, for a chevron up, for the expand/collapse widget.
* We were previously using × for the close icon, which had
visual and scaling issues next to the fa-angle icon.
Fixes#20403.
The commit fixes the issue in which the settings sidebar would
overflow into the settings header when scrolled; it also adds
border-box model to minimize calculations and magic numbers.
This changes recent topics to be consistent with our other tables. The
valus are copied from the common settings CSS for tables.
Ideally, we'd just share the CSS, but the existing table CSS is deep
inside a .settings-section CSS block, and it's a bit of a refactor to
share it.
Fixes: #21140.
This change is motivated by a few considerations:
* The message actions menu has grown quite a bit and is at risk of
feeling cluttered, especially with the upcoming Read Receipts feature.
* Conceptually, this menu is for interactions with the message, not
its topic. There are other convenient ways to do this, in the topic
recipient bar and left sidebar; hopefully removing this isn't much of
an inconvenience. (If we add something back, we'd probably want a
full "Topic actions" popover, not just this single item)
* Combined with the next commit, this removes the last copy of the
topic name in this popover, which is helpful to its shape/layout,
since topic names have much more variable length than the labels
present here.
Fixes#21432
Instead of setting `disable` attribute to the elements, we make
them look like disabled and remove interactions with them. This
helps us keep the hotkey handling logic for navigation easier
to manage.
Fixes#21279
This makes this function easier to reason about, by having only one
version of the query floating around.
The change is nearly NFC: the one other place this `query` parameter
is used is the `triage` function, and that already lower-cases the
query too.
But `triage` has some additional case-related behavior: among prefix
matches (but not among exact matches), it moves any that match
case-sensitively ahead of any that don't.
As long as all emoji names are lowercase -- as all our built-in
emoji are, and as all custom emoji probably are in most realms --
that still has no effect: either the query is lowercase too and all
matches are case-sensitive matches, or it isn't and none of them are.
But it can show up if someone adds a custom emoji like `:GitHub:`
or `:LaTeX:` (like we have a `` in chat.zulip.org), and then
someone does the natural thing of searching for them in lowercase.
When the behavior does show up, it seems like it can only come
across to the user as a glitch: the emoji that have capital letters
get weirdly taken out of order and moved to the end, or just don't
show up if there are more than 8 results.
In general I'm not convinced there are any situations at all where
this behavior of `triage` makes sense: basically every other
search UI in the computing universe is case-insensitive except for
some aimed at programmers searching through code, and none of our
typeahead searches are aimed at doing that. But for the moment,
just simplify the emoji case in particular.
For example, if a user's name is "Simon Peyton Jones", we'll already
match that name on the queries "Pey" or "Peyton", as well as on
"Simon P". We should do so on "Peyton J" or "Peyton Jones", too.
Similarly, if the user is looking for an emoji of a face in the moon
and they start by typing ":moon", we'll show them both 🌝 "moon face"
and 🌚 "new moon face", along with some other moon-related results.
If they go on to make it ":moon " or ":moon f", though -- as one very
naturally would in order to eliminate things like "waxing moon" and
"moon ceremony" -- then we mysteriously eliminate 🌚 "new moon face".
Instead, the query "moon f" should match both 🌚 and 🌝.
Found this while comparing the web/shared implementation with the
mobile implementation of emoji search. The new behavior here
reflects what we already do for emoji search in mobile, both in the
compose box's typeahead and in the add-a-reaction screen. The
existing behavior here seems pretty annoying, so fixing it will be
part of switching on mobile to the shared code (zulip/zulip-mobile#4636)
without regressing the user experience.
The current behavior was introduced, more or less, in 245d65eb9; then
revised in 5edbcb87f to make the logic more clear, and a fix made in
542f4766d, all 2018. The PR thread was #8286, following issue #8279.
The old behavior before those changes was pure substring matching,
plus a trailing space was ignored (which is the part the issue was
about.) None of the discussion touches on this question; as far as I
can tell, the fact that "Peyton J" doesn't match "Simon Peyton Jones",
nor "moon " match "new moon face", was entirely an unintentional
side effect of those changes.
A bot is technically a special case of a user, in terms of how they're
stored in the database at least, but for end users, we avoid referring
to them that way.
This commit changes the invite API to accept invitation
expiration time in minutes since we are going to add a
custom option in further commits which would allow a user
to set expiration time in minutes, hours and weeks as well.
Added a setting to the bottom of Settings > Display settings > Theme section
to display the reacting users on a message when numnber of reactions are

This is a preparatory commit for #20980.
Previously, the confirm button would be disabled when the user
attempted to change the capitalization of a topic, but still keep
it in the same stream. This commit fixes this discrepancy.
This commit changes the behavior of the move topic modal in
'stream_popover.js'. Instead of relying on an error banner, it
will now disable the submit button whenever an identically named
topic exists in the currently selected stream. To accomplish this,
it introduces a callback, update_submit_button_disabled_state(),
and calls it in three cases:
1. When the modal is initially loaded.
2. When the dropdown is changed.
3. When the topic name is changed.
The case insensitivity of topic comparison has been preserved.
Fixes#21711.
This commit solves the bug which keeps the announce stream checkbox checked
for non-admin users when users are only allowed to create private streams
and not public streams.
The desired behavior is to not allow users to announce private streams, so
we keep the checkbox unchecked and disabled.
This commit fixes the above mentioned bug by removing the if-else block which
was executed after update_announce_stream_state (the function which handles
updating the checkbox considering if the realm has notifications stream or
not and whether the stream being created is public or private) and only checks
whether the realm has notification stream or not to show or hide the announce
stream checkbox irrespective of privacy of the stream being created.
This commit also fixes the handler to update the checkbox state on changing
privacy to update the checkbox state only on changing privacy value and not
on toggling the checkbox itself or changing post policy.
Fixes#21705.
This reverts commit a8fd535955.
This reverts commit 944781e873.
In an attempt to introduce code from mobile into web to match literal
emojis, the author inadvertently introduced a buggy and smelly change.
Probably best to leave the implementation of this in mobile where there
is more context about the shape of the emoji object available. Web
doesn't actually benefit from the additional behavior anyway.

This commits adds an wildcard_mention_array which would contain the
mention tokens according to the message type. In case of PMs, it uses
only "all" and "everyone" mentions.
Fixes part of #21643.
This commit attempts to fix the suggestions typeahead for wildcard
mentions in case of PMs by using a conditional which checks for the
current compose_state and changes the string in parentheses accordingly.
In case of PMs, it uses the "(Notify recipients)" string instead of
"(Notify stream)".
There is no guarantee that the code passed into parse_unicode_emoji_code
is valid unicode. In the case that it is not, it might be better to
return undefined instead of throwing an exception: to represent a
non-parseable code.
For context, mobile currently returns custom emojis as emojis with
string names in their code property, instead of actual unicode.
Previously, these buttons were centered via flex, which meant that in
the rare case that a long list of private message recipients caused
the recipient area to line-wrap, these icons would be incorrectly
placed at the vertical center of the now multi-line block.
Fix this by setting an auto bottom-marging.
Fixes#21693.
Change the logic for rendering PM threads in PM section to
be in the same as that of topics view --
In default view, only recent 5 PM threads would be shown

if not present in those 5.
In PM section with unreads, a maximum of 8 conversations
would be shown and rest of them would be hidden behind
the 'more conversations' li-item, clicking on which takes
to the zoomedIn view of PM section where all the present
PM threads would be visible.

This PR implements checking for a literal emoji match in emoji
typeaheads. In other words, if you paste or type panda face into an
emoji typeahead, panda face should be presented as an option to choose
from.
This behavior is currently present in the mobile app, adding it to
shared will enable both platforms to utilize this logic.
The old link here broke once we introduced separate APKs per ABI,
in zulip/zulip-mobile#5296.
We could make a direct link to app-armeabi-v7a-release.apk , the one
that's compatible with almost all devices. But perhaps better is to
just go back to linking to the release page, where the user can
choose the best APK for their device. (If they're in the habit of
downloading APKs manually to install on their device, then probably
that means they're going to be used to choosing the right one.)
User report and discussion:
https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/48-mobile/topic/Direct.20apk.20download.20link.20is.20404/near/1358758
marked.js provides a helpful error message asking for bugs to be
reported upstream, but since we're running a fork, we should redirect
such support requests to us.
We can triage as necessary.
This makes parse() more re-entrant.
This also drives out a change to the linkifiers
test, where I no longer couple the linkifiers
logic to markdown concerns. I probably should have
done this in an earlier commit, but better late
than never. I didn't bother to split out a commit
for the test stuff, since it's just tests and
the commit is still fairly atomic in nature.
It has always been pretty arbitrary what we did inside
of setup() vs. parse(), and we want to avoid unpredictable
results from other platforms neglecting to call setup().
On my machine you can parse a simple message in about
25 microseconds, based on a trial of a million messages
with the content of "**bold**". Whatever portion of
that time is related to setup-related things like
compiling regexes should be negligible from the user's
perspective, since we never run parse() in a loop.
We only need to loop through the preprocessors
once, and we should use the options passed
in to the parser, not the default options
from the original setOptions call.
The first loop here was doing nothing.
Our sub (i.e stream) and user_group objects have a bunch
of fields that aren't relevant to markdown parsing, so
we create narrow types that make it easier for us to
share code with mobile in the future.
I considered working purely in id space, but the problem
there is that user-entered stream names and user group
names need to be canonicalized.
The abstract_map() helper clarifies that our code
doesn't need a concrete Map object from JS. This
change is possibly premature until we get a little
bit closer on integrating with mobile, since it
solves kinda the same problem that we might handle
more elegantly with TypeScript or Flow.
OTOH I find it to be pretty non-intrusive for the
webapp.
These are the low-hanging-fruit places where we
can avoid using the helpers global.
The long term goal here is to make the markdown
code truly re-entrant, but some challenges still
remain.
Before this change, we would use **some** options relating
to parsing messages, but not all of them. The reason for
this was completely unintentional.
It's mostly a moot point, since the server sends back pretty
generic messages when you do something like invoke the
"/dark" command, and the message would parse the same way
whether or not the parser was looking for things like user
mentions or stream links.
In order to make this code predictable, I had to decide
whether we do a completely vanilla parse or a full message
parse. My decision now is mostly tactical. It's a trivial
one-line change to just use all the options for message
parsing, whereas it requires a major overhaul to allow a
vanilla parse.
I also predict that we will eventually want to parse these
server responses as if they were messages. I doubt the
zcommand responses would ever take advantage of it, but I
could imagine things like nag messages wanting to use user
mentions.
Even if my predictions are wrong, my decisions here are
pretty easy to reverse once we learn more.
For the particular case of zcommands, it is puzzling to me
why the server doesn't just send back HTML, but I don't want
to open that can of worms yet, as that would technically be
an API change.
For now I am happy with the one-line fix.
The zcommand code was calling directly into the "marked"
library, which was extremely misleading, since you don't
get a vanilla parse of the markdown due to the fact
that markdown.js calls setOptions at initialize time.
This commit shifts the responsibility to markdown.js
as well as adding a bit of test coverage, but it is
otherwise just a pure code-move refactoring.
The next commit will tweak things further.
This is mostly done for correctness reasons--it is
easiest from a logical standpoint to set the realm
emojis at the end of the function, since we do not want
them to be overwritten by normal emojis. The code
worked before this change, but it involved a clunky
check to map.has().
There is also probably a very minor performance
improvement insofar as N (the number of normal
emojis) is typically greater than R (the number
of realm emojis), and we eliminate N calls to
map.has in return for R calls to map.set. Even
if R is quite large, the readability advantages
probably far outweigh any performance considerations,
since we are using native map calls.
Thanks to Austin Riba for this suggestion.
The mobile app was never able to use the shared
version of emoji.js, because, among other problems
with our code organization, the emoji.js module
is strongly based on a mutate-the-data paradigm
that doesn't play nice with React. The way
that we mutate data and violate encapsuation
here is something that we would mostly want to fix
without even trying to shared code with mobile, so
subsequent commits will try to extract some pure
functions into a shared module.
The backend validates that URL inputs are RFC valid URLs (with no
specific length limit), but the frontend appears to have a maximum
length of 50 specified, likely because of a copy-paste error.
Increase the HTML maxlength for this input to 2048, which is a length
supported for URLs by all major browsers.
