Long ago, we changed Zulip to inspect server-provided topic history in
our compose and search typeahead modules, but did not trigger a query
to the server to fetch data.
This could result in confusing experiences where someone thought that
a topic doesn't exist that just isn't present in recent history.
Once we merge this, we may want to adjust the messaging in typeahead
to advertise that the first option will create a new topic, since this
change may make it feel more like creating topics is a heavyweight
operation.
Fixes#9857.
ES and TypeScript modules are strict by default and don’t need this
directive. ESLint will remind us to add it to new CommonJS files and
remove it from ES and TypeScript modules.

This reverts part of b0d632577f.
The problem was that multiple queries were combined as a single
search pill. And since we create the pills then narrow / search,
we added a comma seperator between them for the typeahead lookups
as required by the logic in `input_pill.js`.
This however introduced a new bug where the search suggestions
were incorrect as the typeahead lookup table wasn't updated, so
every time an item from the type ahead was selected it updated
the input string with an invalid operator.
Thus to resolve the first problem, we follow a simpler approach
by extracting all operators from the search string using our
`Filter.parse` logic and next add the pills, one by one.
This merges the `exports.get_search_result_legacy` and
`exports.get_search_result` function.
The key differences between the two code paths are as follows:
* We only want to generate suggestions for the queries which
the user is typing or can edit.
For the legacy version, suggestions are displayed for the
entire search string in the searchbox. (`all_operators`)
For the pills enabled version, suggestions are displayed
only for the input which hasn't been converted to pills.
(`query_operators`)
`all_operators` = `base_query_operators` + " " + `query_operators`.
trim is added at the end just to handle the legacy case
where we pass the `base_query` as ''.
* It is not possible to detect whether the user wants to
continue typing in the legacy version. However if the
the searchbox is still focused even after pill creation
we can assume the user still wants to continue typing.
To handle this we push an empty term as the `last` operator.
This is possible since the previous queries have been
completely entered as evident from it's generated pill.
* When using the legacy version, `search_operators` are
the same as `all_operators`, as mentioned in point 1.
In the pills enabled version we perform most of the
computations from the `query_operators`, but we do
require all `all_operators`, only for filtering the last
query's suggestion.
* And there is just one block unique to the legacy search
system. More details are mentioned in the comments of that
block.
We also refactor both the search suggestions node tests,
mainly to make them similar and easier to detect differences
when we switch over to the new version.
The only change made here is the renaming of `operators` variable
to `search_operators`.
That is mostly evident from the fact that we do not need to
make any changes to `node_tests/search_suggestion_legacy.js`.
As mentioned in the previous commit, we make this change
to get a minimal diff between the legacy and search pills
enabled version.
The only changes made here is the renaming of `query_operators`
variable to `search_operators`.
That is mostly evident from the fact that we do not need to
make any changes to `node_tests/search_suggestion.js`.
This will be helpful when we combine this function with it's
legacy function. As most of the logical decisions to generate
the result is based on the `query_operators` variable for the
search pills enabled version and the `operators` variable for
the legacy search version.
This commit actually just deletes the `get_default_suggestion`
function while the `get_default_suggestion_legacy` function's
logic remains the exact same, it is just renamed.
Since the operator can never be undefined as mentioned in the
previous commit, we do not require the check with undefined
and as a result the, `if (suggestion)` condition can be removed.
The 3 changes made here are as follows:
* The if block for both the functions is simplified as
`Filter.parse` will always return an array and also
[].slice(0, -1) === [] is true.
* The code where `base_operators` is declared is moved
to just before where it is actually used.
* The `base` variable declaration is changed to match
the pattern of that present in the non-legacy function.
Its value remains the same.
This is a prep commit for when we want to merge the
`get_search_result_legacy` and `get_search_result` functions.
This is the exact same bug as observed in
02ab48a61e.
The bug is in the way we invoke `Filter.parse`.
`Filter.parse` returns a list of operators which
can contain only one 'search' term at max.
All strings with the 'search' operator present
in the query are combined to form this 'search'
term.
However on concatenating two filters we may get
two terms containing the 'search' operator. This
will lead to the search suggestions getting
generated based on only the last 'search' operator
term instead of all the terms having the 'search'
operator.
This is evident from the test change as suggestions
should be based on "s stream:of" but instead they
were based on just the latest query.
If typeahead is used, this adds comma separated search queries
so that multiple search pills don't get combined as one and the
search behaviour remains same as search_pills_enabled = False case.
If typeahead is not used, this prevent the typing of a single comma
after the pill gets created.
This makes it so that search_suggestion.js
does not depend on activity.js.
That dependency hasn't really been "elegant"
for quite some time, but it will become particularly
unnecessary when we go to remove the "Group PMs"
section from the right sidebar.
This commit introduces a temporary wart
where we have these two functions with the
same name in a sort of unnecessarily
complicated code stack:
activity.process_loaded_messages
huddle_data.process_loaded_messages
But we will eliminate the former function
very soon, and our message-related codepaths
will just call the `huddle_data` version
directly.
TESTING NOTES:
Now that `huddle_data` is a tiny leaf
module, it's super easy to just use the
real implementation of what was formerly
called `activity.get_huddles()` (and is
now in `huddle_data`).
When I first wrote this commit, introducing
the real implementation of `get_huddles` exposed
some bugs that I fixed in the immediately
prior commits to this.
When the tests were originally written,
I believe `activity.js` had some annoying
`jQuery` dependencies that made it hard
to unit test against. We've slimmed it over
time to be mostly just a "controller" module.
But even in its current state it would have
been a bit of a bloated dependency.
The other friction for using the actual
version of `get_huddles` was setting up
the message data, but that's pretty minor.
This is a pure code extraction. The current
code is buggy with respect to user_ids with
different lengths of digits, i.e. it does
a naive lexical sort instead of a numerical
sort. We'll fix that in the next commit.
`stream_topic_history` is a more appropriate name as this
module will contain information about last message of a
stream in upcoming commits. Function and variable names
are changed accordingly like:
* topic_history() -> per_stream_history()
* get_recent_names() -> get_recent_topic_names()
* name -> topic_name
This extracts a new module with three
functions, which we will test with 100%
line coverage:
- show_email
- email_for_user_settings
- get_time_preferences
The first two break several dependencies
in the codebase on `settings_org.js`. The
`get_time_preferences` breaks an annoying
dependency on `page_params` within people.
The module is pretty cohesive, in terms that
all three functions are just light wrappers
around `page_params` and/or `settings_config`.
Now all the modules that want to call show_email()
only have to require `settings_data`, instead of
having a dependency on the much heavier
`settings_org.js` module.
I also make some of the unit tests here be more
full-stack, where instead of stubbing show_email,
I basically just toggle `page_params.is_admin`.
The _.each calls with an inline function expression have already been
converted to for…of loops. We could do that here, but using .forEach
when we’re just reusing an existing function seems like a good
guideline.

Using startsWith is faster than indexOf, especially for long strings
and short prefixes. It's also a lot more readable. The only reason
we weren't using it was when a lot of the code was originally written,
it wasn't available.
This change makes these two functions more alike:
- get_search_result
- get_search_result_legacy
To test the UI modify zerver/views/home.py by
replacing `settings.SEARCH_PILLS_ENABLED` with
`True`. I only did a quick sanity check, since
any bugs with the new system are more likely due
to bitrot than any changes I have made here.
The history is this:
Tim cloned the code (before the smaller
helpers were extracted):
db4f6e278f
In 8b153f6452
Shubham removed get_operator_subset_suggestions but
accidentally left a `concat` statement in that got
misapplied to the previous suggestions:
- suggestions = get_operator_subset_suggestions(operators);
result = result.concat(suggestions);
The error there was carried over in some recent changes,
but this commit fixes that strangeness.
In 73e4f3b3fa
Shubham made this change, which makes sense only for
pills, and this code remains intact.
- if (operators.length > 0) {
- last = operators.slice(-1)[0];
+ if (query_operators.length > 0) {
+ last = query_operators.slice(-1)[0];
+ } else {
+ // If query_operators = [] then last will remain
+ // {operator: '', operand: '', negated: false}; from above.
+ // `last` has not yet been added to operators/query_operators.
+ // The code below adds last to operators/query_operators
+ operators.push(last);
+ query_operators.push(last);
}
Mohit made a couple changes to both old and new.
Anders made a couple non-substantive changes related to
the ES6 migration.
Steve (me) made several structural changes to the code. For
some of them I only changed the legacy code, not the pills
code. I didn't fix Shubham's mistake until this change.
Now the two functions should look similar except in the places
where they are intentionally different. I also added a comment
explaining the get_operator_subset_suggestions difference.
Fixes#13609
This should avoid some memory allocations.
We also use build_person_matcher to avoid
repeating the same logic over and over
again to process the query into termlets.
We also remove people.get_all_persons() and
people.person_matches_query().
Once we have max_items results, stop trying
to get more items.
This should really help large realms when
you do a search on streams that turns up
more than N streams (where N is about 12).
We won't even bother to find people.
