Test page loads fixtures and renders the inbox view. This may be useful
for smoke testing style changes or generating screenshots with
pseudo-realistic data.
Includes a couple small changes to get rendering working outside the
app.
Move away from inline style attributes for setting contact colors.
Apply colors by name via css classes instead. Also lays groundwork
for syncing contact colors.

Fix some visual bugs occuring at large font size:
* Contact names break onto the next line after their avatars in
message detail screen
* Settings menu font-size failed to scale
* Handle Content overflow in modals.

This commit changes the inbox to stop video and audio elements when selecting a new conversation, and to not stop such elements when the same
conversation was selected (fixes#391).
// FREEBIE
When deleting all messages in a conversation, the entry in the left pane
should be inserted into the alphabetical portion of the list. To keep it
in this collection, do not nullify active_at.
To ensure the list view is keeping itself correctly sorted, make sure
that resorting behavior is triggered any time a relevant attribute is
changed.
This fixes deleted conversations jumping to the top of the list, and
conversation order scrambling when getting a group or contact sync
message from our master device.
Fixes#734
// FREEBIE
The onChangeActiveAt listener promotes newly activated conversations to
the top of the inbox. By firing on an 'add' event, if the conversation
list happened to load after the inbox frontend was initialized, each new
entry would be incorrectly moved to the top, effectively reversing the
list.
// FREEBIE
Here lies the remains of the old compose flow, which must eventually be
restored for group creation flow, but will likely be rewritten entirely.
// FREEBIE
Search view triggers an open event when a valid phone number is entered
and the 'Create new contact' card is clicked.
Inbox view should listen and respond to this event. It should also
disregard select events on the new contact element since those are fired
before phone number validation.
Finally, the search view can stop listening to select events because the
inbox view is already doing so.
// FREEBIE
This file is loaded by the background page, which means it is already
bound to the background page's global context. This was not true at some
time in the distant past but is true now.
// FREEBIE
Only load the most recent messages when initially rendering a
conversation. Scrolling to the top of a message list loads older
messages.
This required some slight refactoring of how we insert message elements
into the dom. If the message is added to the end of the collection,
append it at the end. Otherwise, assume it is an older message and
prepend it.
When adding elements to the top, reset the scrollPosition to its
previous distance from scrollHeight. This keeps the current set of
elements fixed in the viewport.
// FREEBIE
Renames extension.windows.beforeUnload to onSuspend, to match the
underlying chrome api call. onClosed fires when the frontend app window
is closed, while onSuspend fires when the background page is closed or
refreshed (which amounts to an app restart).
Frontend views are initialized iff the inbox window is opened, and so
should always be listening to onClosed in order to know when they are no
longer needed.
// FREEBIE
Using the search field produces a filtered view of all contacts and
groups containing the input. To make this fast and scalable, add an
index on a 'tokens' array containing words from the conversation name
and different forms of phone number.
Closes#365
// FREEBIE
This listener is doing way more work than necessary to update the dom by
removing all the list items and re-creating them. This also causes the
bug where selected state is cleared when new messages arrive, not to
mention binding new event listeners without unbinding the old ones.
Fix by simply promoting an element to the top of the list when it's
active_at value changes, rather than re-rendering the whole list. This
could backfire if the value gets changed to an earlier timestamp but for
now we assume that won't happen.
// FREEBIE
Create a new collection type for the inbox which listens to events on
the main conversation cache. Also don't reload conversation info from
the database as often or when unnecessary.
Fixes#345
// FREEBIE
Establishes basic functionality for viewing conversations in two column
mode, including message area and message list resizing, and maintaining
scroll position.
Various subviews need to be retooled but are more or less still
functional, i.e., new message, message detail, key verification, etc...
Refreshing the background page does re-open the socket, but the inbox
and other windows don't reattach correctly. Reload the whole runtime to
force close all windows, reload the background, and re open the inbox.
As a chrome packaged app, we have to keep at least one window open in
order to maintain our websocket connection in the background page.
This change replaces the system window frame with custom buttons in the
inbox header, such that the 'close' button merely hides the window
rather than unloading it.
Fixes#237
FREEBIE
This reverts commit 31e7d285e3.
This seemed like a nice feature, but the popup bubble isn't very
conducive to nontrivial user inputs, e.g. file inputs.
Fixes#211
Rather than opening the inbox in its own window, let it appear as a
browser action popup by default, but allow promotion to its own window
if requested.
Update unreadCounts per-conversation on incoming messages. Render unread
conversations with font-weigh: bold in the inbox view.
To ensure that the inbox and conversation views remain in sync, the
background page now ensures that the same models objects are used for
both views.
Templatize the inbox view and use the same pattern for in-window view
switching as is now used with the conversation/message detail views.
This means doing more with markup and less jquery manipulation of
individual subelements of the inbox view.
Closes#173
Previously, in the event of a failed websocket auth, we would attempt to
reconnect once a second ad infinitum. This changeset ensures that we
only reconnect automatically if the socket closed 'normally' as
indicated by the code on the socket's CloseEvent. Otherwise, show a
'Websocket closed' error on the inbox view.
Ideally we would show a more contextual error (ie, 'Unauthorized'), but
unfortunately the actual server response code is not available to our
code. It can be observed in the console output from the background page,
but programmatically, we only receive the WebSocket CloseEvent codes
listed here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CloseEvent#Status_codes
The websocket error message is displayed by a normally-hidden but ever
present socket status element. Clicking this element will immediately
refresh the background page, which will try again to open the websocket
connection.
Background page conversations were trying to trigger events on the inbox
list view which had been destroyed, resulting in a background page
console error of "can't read innerHeight of null".
Avoid this by removing listeners when the inbox window is closed.
When a new message arrives, if its conversation is not already opened,
the background page opens it. If it is alrady open the window is
focused. Finally, the 'message' event is triggered, resulting in
1. the inbox refetches conversations
2. all conversations fetch new messages
TODO: only send this event to the target window
Don't auto open the last conversation. It doesn't make sense now that we
no longer have two column layout.
Don't trigger/listen for selected events. There's no need since the list
item opens a new popup now.
