We start caching MessageListData objects for the narrows which
user has visited. We restore the cached objects if the filters
match. Also, the cached objects are updated based on events. One
major piece is update path the is pending implementation is the
message move code path.
It doesn't make sense for us to track a separate current filter when
it should just the be filter of current message list if there is one.
This will reduce possible confusion in the codebase where filter
returned by narrow_state is different from message_lists.current.
This function will allow us to adjust the codebase to write what it
means semantically -- whether a check is for the message list being
visibly empty, or completely empty.
In this commit, we leave the .empty() method incorrect, because
several other adjustments need to be made atomically with fixing it.
Adds support in the web app for `dm` operator. This will deprecate
the `pm-with` operator, but existing links/URLs are still supported
for backwards-compatilibity.
This commit updates the web app default behaviors to default to
the new narrow/URLs `dm/...` and `/#narrow/dm/...` when navigating
and searching in the app.
There is some general clean up of references to private messages
or PMs to be either direct messages or DMs in these changes.
The general API changelog and documentation updates will be done
in a final commit in the series of commits that adds support for
the various new direct message narrows.
This lets us simplify the long-ish ‘../../static/js’ paths, and will
remove the need for the ‘zrequire’ wrapper.
