When you subscribe to a stream, we now set a newly_subscribed
flag on the object, and we return true during the is_active()
call.
This solves the problem that immediately after you subscribe, you
don't have any messages in the stream, so it would appear active
by our old criteria.
This is still something of a workaround, as once you reload, the
stream will become inactive again, unless other messages come in.
A more permanent solution here would be to have the backend
indicate newly subscribed streams to us (apart from the initial
event), but we may not really need that in practice.
The new logic has 4 tiers of priority:
* Whether a match is found in the name, start of description, middle
of description, etc.
* Importance to the user / activity -- more specifically, the order
used in the left sidebar. This means pinned streams first, active
streams, then inactive streams.
* Subscriber count: How big is the stream? Bigger is better.
* Alphabetical ordering is a final tiebreak.
Fixes#4508.
There is a mechanism to prevent a user from "clicking" on a message
if they drag over it, to allow people to copy message contents without
triggering the compose box to open.
In the case that a user would start dragging from outside a message
and finish dragging within a message, data on where the cursor started
at is missing.
This is fixed by checking if start data exists and if it doesn't, we
just throw a drag distance of Infinity which will tell the program to
not count the action as a "click" on the message. This now does not
have an uncaught error because it instead validates "start" as existing
before attempting to access its properties.
Due to a past refactoring, the from_reload argument to do_hashchange
changed from having true/undefined as the possible values to
true/false instead. The check that sets the from_reload and
first_unread_from_server narrow options was thus incorreclty treating
from_reload of false the same as a from_reload of undefined.
As a result, if the browser had been loaded with a
page_params.initial_narrow_pointer (aka via the background reload code
path), then for the duration of that browser session, every time one
narrowed via a hashchange rather than an explicit click handler (which
apparently includes clicking on a PM thread in the left sidebar), we'd
end up narrowing with a then_select_id of the that initial narrow
pointer, not the correct first unread message.
The fix is simply changing the check for truthiness, not undefined, in
do_hashchange.
Despite the length of this commit, it is a very straightforward
moving of code from narrow.js -> narrow_state.js, and then
everything else is just s/narrow.foo()/narrow_state.foo()/
(with a few tiny cleanups to remove some code duplication
in certain callers).
The only new functions are simple setter/getters that
encapsulate the current_filter variable:
narrow_state.reset_current_filter()
narrow_state.set_current_filter()
narrow_state.get_current_filter()
We removed narrow.predicate() as part of this, since it was dead
code.
Also, we removed the shim for narrow_state.set_compose_defaults(),
and since that was the last shim, we removed shim.js from the app.
This code makes the right pane work in "Manage Streams" when
you are editing a stream subscription. It handles basic
functionality (submitting forms, etc.), live updates, and
showing the pane as needed.
Most of the code here was simply moved from subs.js, but some
functions were pulled out of larger functions:
live update:
add_me_to_member_list
update_stream_name
update_stream_description
collapse/show:
collapse
show_sub
We also now export subs.show_subs_pane.
We eventually want stream_edit not to call into subs.js, and
this should be fairly easy--we just need to move some shared
methods to a new module.
This new modules handles the UI to create streams. It mostly moves
code from subs.js.
It introduces an API around what used to be called meta.stream_created:
reset_created_stream()
set_name()
get_name()
It only partially moves new_stream_clicked().
Note that this code is disabled until the infrastructure for the
feature can be finished.
Tweaked by tabbott to use slightly cleaner names for the various sets.
This commit forces the files that create modals to create their own
modal closing function instead of creating all of them in the modals
file. These functions are then passed to the modals.close object. This
is intended to remove modals.js's dependencies on these other files.
We now only call compose_state.composing() in a boolean context,
where we simply care whether or not the compose box is open. The
function now also returns true/false.
Callers who need to know the actual message type (e.g. "stream" or
"private") now call compose_state.get_message_type().
We now use "map" to have our inner generator of topics be
mapped to objects with both the stream and topic. Thanks to
Mahim Goyal for helping with this design.
This fixes a regression in 3041480600
that would cause anything rendered on the backend differently than on
the frontend to experience this animation.
We actually only want to do the animation when the message content was
changed in a way that generates an edit history event, i.e. a
user-facing edit, not in cases where we're either transparently
swapping in post-backend-rendering content (e.g. with link previews)
or cases where there's a discrepancy between the exact HTML from the
frontend and backend markdown processes (e.g. mentions).
The comments that were added in the code for this commit explain
the cases here, but essentially for topics, we need to decide
among a few possible behaviors with regard to composing:
- Leave it closed.
- Cancel the compose.
- Leave the compose box as it was before.
- Fill in the new topic.
Before this commit, we were cancelling compose in all cases (or
leaving it closed).
Now we leave it alone in some cases where there is already content.
And we fill in the topic when the stream was correct and the topic
was empty.
Fixes#3300
This fixes the /me elements to be display inline-block and inline
rather than display block with top and left properties.
This also fixes an unrelated issue with emoji reactions not being
able to be clicked on with /me messages.
Fixes: #4218.
When a message update comes back from the server and replaces an
old message, it should fade in. There are two components to the fade:
1. The message fades in from opacity: 0 => 1.
2. The "edited" text will transform from X: -10 => X: 0.
This commit extracts the method compose_actions.on_narrow()
to handle changing the compose box (as appropriate) after
any narrowing action.
This change should be mostly non-user-facing, but it's not
exactly a trivial extraction.
For the case where the user already had content in their
compose box, we continue to leave the compose box alone,
but we now update compose fading 150+ lines later in
narrow.activate().
Likewise, for cases where we cancel composing, this will
also happen later in the function.
Finally, for PM narrows, where we auto-open the compose box, we
no longer call compose.cancel() before calling compose.start(),
because either a) the compose box would have not been open
in the first place or b) the start() function can handle
clearing the old fields.
Before this change, we would move "dormant" streams to the bottom
of your stream sidebar, but only if you had 40+ streams.
Now we do this in all cases to be more consistent.
This commit also changes the redraw strategy when we remove rows.
Before this change, we were doing incremental updates, but now we
call build_stream_list to do a complete rebuild. This was partly
motivated by adding the new divider, which would have complicated
the incrememental approach when you removed the last remaining
dormant stream.
This creates get_emoji_at_index() and
find_index_for_emoji() functions, which search for
emojis and indices in reactions_show_list. Update
maybe_select_emoji with newly created functions.
This fixed the fact that the scrollbar for this popover was super ugly
on Linux, while also ensuring that we have a consistent 6 emoji per
row in the popover (an important detail for the arrow hotkeys).
This is mostly just moving methods out of compose.js.
The variable `is_composing_message`, which isn't a boolean, has
been renamed to `message_type`, and there are new functions
set_message_type() and get_message_type() that wrap it.
This commit removes some shims related to the global variable
`compose_state`; now, `compose_state` is a typical global
variable with a 1:1 relationship with the module by the same
name.
The new module has 100% line coverage, most of it coming
via the tests on compose_actions.js. (The methods here are
super simple, so it's a good thing that the tests are somewhat
integrated with a higher layer.)
* reset the emoji popover in case of an event
regarding update of realm_emoji.
* test-node-with-js: Add dependency - popovers module;
In dispath.js to support popovers object.
* Whenever the emoji picker is opened a call is made to render
the emoji's. This rendering happend everytime the emoji picker
was opened. Thus, resulting in duplicates of emoji's getting
appended in the emoji picker over multiple open and close.
* This commit, is a fix to render the emoji's only once when the
emoji picker is opened for the first time. Further calls just
toggles the emoji picker showing the already rendered emoji's.
This enhances the performance of Emoji picker considerably
because there is no overhead of making a request to get the emoji's
from the server, each time the emoji picker is opened.
* Other changes -- on closing the emoji picker, the compose box
remains in focus.
Fixes: #4300.

We now auto-open the compose box whenever somebody narrows to
a "pure" PM narrow. We already did this for buddy list clicks,
so this make it work the same for other ways of narrowing to
PM conversation. Here, we optimize for composing, vs. reading,
since PM conversations tend to have lots of back and forth.
(Contrast this to stream conversations, where there's a higher
likelihood of lurking or doing a quick narrow to re-read some
message from the stream.)
We don't want to auto-open the compose box for topic
sidebar clicks, because we want to convenience folks
reading messages, not writing messages, since on
stream narrows, people tend to do much more reading
than writing. (Also, opening the compose box explicitly
is super easy.)
The part of this change that affects behavior is that
we remove the call to compose_actions.start('stream').
Then the simplification is that we replace the checks
to narrowed_by_reply() and !narrowed_to_topic() with
a single call to narrowed_by_pm_reply().
Fixes#3886.
