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.

This does have a small functional change of using use_closest even for
the current_msg_list.last().id case, but that's harmless; and it does
reduce a lot of code duplication and confusing logic here.

This implementation is somewhat hackish in large part because I think
we're going to be wanting to redo the get_old_messages API somewhat
soon, and this may naturally become a lot cleaner as a result, but
this isn't a lot of code and fixes#2235 part (A) and substantially
mitigates #1510.

Even in the case where we are running embedded narrows,
we want narrow.operators() to return new-style operators

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');
}

I'd also like to add a database table to actually store the values

I renamed ui.process_condensing() to ui.condense_and_collapse(),
and, more importantly, it now takes a list of elements, not a single
element, which allows us to do some computations outside the loop.

If we load a browser window in a narrowed view and then un-narrow

Narrow.activate was called without an options object in one
obscure location. I'm not sure how it's actually triggered,

the "Search for x" option, but someone managed to do it.

I switched narrow.by_subject and narrow.by_recipient to use the all_msg_list
instead of current_msg_list, since we wanted to be able to narrow to messages
specifically not in the current_msg_list. However, in searches which revealed
old messages outside the range of all_msg_list (which only has a single contiguous range),
this broke narrowing.
Let's use msg_metadata_cache instead.

Displays a notification above the composebox in cases where the message
is not visible (further down), or where it's outside the current narrow or search.
It also offers a link to the appropriate narrow when it makes sense, and offers
timetravel when appropriate. There is currently a bug with timetravel (and you can
see this when using the popover menu) that makes "narrow to messages around this time"
not work for muted messages.
This resolves Trac #1518.

Handle closing the compose box inside of narrow.js, to
ensure consistent behavior for all the narrowing UI options.
(imported from commit f17a687491eb2361c73032cd974cedb2a0a2dd85)
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();
}
Instead of patching the above code, I elected to just call
compose.cancel() explicitly in the click handlers for the links
themselves.
We are gonna try to clean up the compose-box behavior globally soon.
