The function modals.is_active() can see if modals are open
without having to look at the DOM. This should make it snappier
to type in the compose box. Even if the speedup is pretty minor,
not having to worry about jQuery slowness should make it easier
to diagnose future compose box issues.
The new function gets used in other places, too, where performance
isn't so much an issue.
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 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.
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.
This fixes the mobile web experience for Chrome on iOS.
Apparently, Chrome-on-iOS silently has a `viewport` module that
overrides and user-defined module by that name, causing all of our
code that accesses the viewport module to not work on that platform.
We fix this by renaming it.
The slugs for PM-with narrows now have user ids in them, so they
are more resilient to email changes, and they have less escaping
characters and are generally prettier.
Examples:
narrow/pm-with/3-cordelia
narrow/pm-with/3,5-group
The part of the URL that is actionable is the comma-delimited
list of one or more userids.
When we decode the slugs, we only use the part before the dash; the
stuff after the dash is just for humans. If we don't see a number
before the dash, we fall back to the old decoding (which should only
matter during a transition period where folks may have old links).
For group PMS, we always say "group" after the dash. For single PMs,
we use the person's email userid, since it's usually fairly concise
and not noisy for a URL. We may tinker with this later.
Basically, the heart of this change is these two new methods:
people.emails_to_slug
people.slug_to_emails
And then we unify the encode codepath as follows:
narrow.pm_with_uri ->
hashchange.operators_to_hash ->
hashchange.encode_operand ->
people.emails_to_slug
The decode path didn't really require much modication in this commit,
other than to have hashchange.decode_operand call people.slug_to_emails
for the pm-with case.
