We consistently either pass a `then_select_id` into narrow.activate,
or were using the select_first_unread option. Now, we just compute
select_first_unread based on the value of then_select_id.
In the very early days of Zulip, we didn't have unread counts; just
the pointer, and the correct behavior when opening a new tab was to
place you near the pointer. That doesn't make any sense now that we
do have unread counts, and this corner case has been a wart for a long
time.
This commit does the main behavior change here. However, there's a
bug we need to fix, where we might end up trying to pre-render a view
of the narrow based on the `all_msg_list` data before `all_msg_list`
is caught up). We need to fix that bug before we can merge this; it
should be possible to determine that using `FetchStatus` on
`all_msg_list`, or with better performance by using the `unread_msgs`
structure to determine whether the message we should be selecting is
present locally.
Fixes#789.
Fixes#9070.
Apparently, we were incorrectly passing through something related to
opts.use_initial_narrow_pointer as the value for `use_first_anchor`.
If you read the logic in narrow.js carefully,
use_initial_narrow_pointer was unconditionally false.
The correct value for this attribute is when we're trying to narrow to
the first unread message in a given context. There are two things to
check:
* then_select_id is -1; i.e. we don't have a specific message ID we're
trying to narrow around.
* select_first_unread is True, i.e. we're trying to narrow to the
first unread message.
A bit more work should allow us to get rid of the second condition,
but I'm not quite confident enough to do that yet.
The refactor in 12509515ae had a subtle
bug, which is that we switched from accessing the message list "this"
(aka the message list being rerendered) to current_msg_list. This
meant that when the narrowed_msg_list was in view and code needed to
modify home_msg_list, we accessed the wrong `selected_row` to preserve
the scroll position of (namely, the one in current_msg_list, not the
one in home_msg_list).
Fix this, by moving the function to be a property of the
message_list_view object, which makes more sense structurally, anyway.
We may, in the future, want to do a similar migration for more of
message_viewport.js.
Fixes#8854.
Fixes#8965.
Mark_message(s)_as_read is used in marking a message as having been
read by the browser, rename it to notify_server_message(s)_read to
avoid any confusion.
Previously, when unnarrowing, we were calling this on the wrong
selector (this was missed years ago when we refactored Zulip to use
divs rather than table rows in the main message feed).
Noticed while debugging #5312.
We now attach a fetch_status to message lists, so that they
can track their fetch status individually. When you go
back in a narrow and get all the older messages, we turn
off future fetches.
The narrow.js code no longer needs to orchestrate anything
here. The "home" message list won't have as many redundant
fetches after this commit, because we don't need to reset
flags every time we do `narrow.deactivate`.
And then actual narrows get a new message list every time
you narrow, so their fetch status gets reset implicitly
as part of constructing the MessageList object.
We are going to remove message_fetch.reset_for_narrow() soon,
but its callers probably still want to hide any scrolling
indicators, and we just let them do that directly.
This helps us consolidate the fetching constants without
having to export them. It will also remove some
responsibility for narrow.js to track fetching state.
This mostly moves code from ui.js.
We change the arguments to `message_fetch.load_more_messages()`
to be `opts` with callbacks for `show_loading` and `hide_loading`.
We also defer starting the scroll handler until `message_fetch.js`
has been initialized.
This works simimlar to the "n" key for next topics.
This commit does a few things:
* It wires up the hotkey to an existing function
that could change narrows.
* It adds documentation.
* It adds logic to make sure the compose box does
not open.
@showell helped a bit with the wording of comments here.
Fixes#4874
This commit prefixes stream names in urls with stream ids,
so that the urls don't break when we rename streams.
strean name: foo bar.com%
before: #narrow/stream/foo.20bar.2Ecom.25
after: #narrow/stream/20-foo-bar.2Ecom.25
For new realms, everything is simple under the new scheme, since
we just parse out the stream id every time to figure out where
to narrow.
For old realms, any old URLs will still work under the new scheme,
assuming the stream hasn't been renamed (and of course old urls
wouldn't have survived stream renaming in the first place). The one
exception is the hopefully rare case of a stream name starting with
something like "99-" and colliding with another stream whose id is 99.
The way that we enocde the stream name portion of the URL is kind
of unimportant now, since we really only look at the stream id, but
we still want a safe encoding of the name that is mostly human
readable, so we now convert spaces to dashes in the stream name. Also,
we try to ensure more code on both sides (frontend and backend) calls
common functions to do the encoding.
Fixes#4713
This helper function will allow us to cycle through PM narrows
that are unread, once we map it to a hotkey and/or other UI.
(We intend to make something like the "n" key for topics, but
that works on PM narrows instead.)
We made this change because users often unnecessarily click "Home"
first in their use of Zulip, because it seems appealing. While "All
messages" isn't quite precise (it doesn't include muted streams), it
does describe relatively simply the interleaved view that this
represents.
This commit leaves everything as "home" in the code, and only changes
user-visible strings and docs. Changing the code will be a big project;
there are hundreds of relevant occurrences in variable names, etc.
Further, we'll probably want to convert those various variable names
in different ways.
Tweaked by tabbott to extend the commit message and update a few comments.
This allows user to view all group private conversation messages

We now use similar code for A/D hotkeys as we do for the "n"

The old code was using jQuery operations that got tripped up

Previously, when you switched to a stream narrow with the central
message outside the range of messages cached in the browser, we would
reset the UI for loading more messages, but not actually reset the
state for whether it should be possible.
This seems to have been an oversight in refactoring back in 2014.
Fixes#6109.
The narrowing option from_reload was only used in
conjunction with use_initial_narrow_pointer, but the
latter option already takes into account whether a
reload happened.
This fixes a regression where we removed a call to
unread_ops.process_visible() inside of stream_list.js. Now
we call it from within narrow.activate() in the the
maybe_select_closest() callback.
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.
This experiment has been disabled for everyone for a while: if we
bring something like this back, it is not likely to be exactly the same,
and will be different enough to require a different implementation.
As it is, the summarization code was making a few code paths (rendering
especially) more complex, and is worth removing for simplicity's sake.

Previously, we saved the current_msg_list selected id and then
restored it as the home_msg_list selected id, which could result in
the home view loading to the wrong place.
This takes some already bad code and makes it even more in need of
refactoring, but it does fix a pressing bug. We should definitely
refactor both:
* the top of narrow.js
* the save/restore code in reload.js
after this, though.

Our logic for unnarrowing when messages were read during the narrow
did not properly use the then_scroll option and thus actually set the
scroll position when they selected a new message. This was
accidentally prevented from being a big problem by the incorrect
scrolling logic that was fixed by:
Only preserve_pre_narrowing_screen_position when preserving pointer.
which caused the browser to scroll _back_ to close to the correct
scroll position (but not the intended scroll position -- it would
usually be a little bit off).

Trying to condense messages when they are not yet visible just
leads to wasted effort and wrong results.
This commit makes it so that current_msg_list always points to a
visible list, so the code related to message rendering knows when
to call ui.condense_and_collapse(). For activating narrows, we
now let rendering handle the condense/collapse case.
The home view situation is a little trickier, because we render
new messages in the home view even when we're inside inside of a narrow,
presumably to make it fast to switch into the home view. When
we actually go back to the home view, we need to sweep for messages
that might need to be condensed, since they have been originally
rendered while the home view was not visible.

There are now 2 cases for narrowing:
1. We narrowed, but only backwards in time (ie no unread were
read). In this case, try to go back to exactly where we were before
narrowing. This behavior is unchanged.
2. We read some unread messages in a narrow. Instead of going back to
where we were before the narrow, go to our first unread message (or
the bottom of the feed, if there are no unread messages). This is new.
This means that after catching up through the sidebar, on returning
home you'll be at the bottom of your feed.
Searching for the first unread message in a message list with 40,000
messages only takes 17ms according to:
function timeit() {
var t0 = new Date().getTime();
_.find(current_msg_list.all(), unread.message_unread);
var t1 = new Date().getTime();
console.log('Find first unread: ' + (t1 - t0) + ' ms');

The main user-facing feature here is that users can open narrows
in new tabs or windows. Internally, it makes the HTML more semantic.
One consequence of making these elements into actual anchor tags
is that clicking on them no longer triggers this logic to
close the compose box when you click outside of it:
// Unfocus our compose area if we click out of it. Don't let exits out
// of modals or selecting text (for copy+paste) trigger cancelling.
if (compose.composing() && !$(e.target).is("a") &&
($(e.target).closest(".modal").length === 0) &&
window.getSelection().toString() === "") {
compose.cancel();
}

compose.cancel() explicitly in the click handlers for the links
themselves.
