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
Search box finds or creates a conversation given a phone number in
local (to the user's region) or international format.
Previously you had to enter e164 format to set up the conversation
correctly.
If the number is not valid, do not open the conversation.
TODO: user feedback on invalid numbers.
// FREEBIE
By adding the drag and drop support for media files, the default
event handlers were overwritten. Thus drag and drop did not support
text. Now, the drag and drop listeners revert to the default behaviour
when the user does not drag a file.
Resolves: #478
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
Messages that are received in the active conversation while the window
is focused, are automatically marked as read.
The conversation appears as unread for a split second as the incoming message
arrives but it gets marked as read as soon as the message is displayed.
The window title now shows the global number of unread messages as
"Signal (1)". This way the user can see the number of unread messages
in the task bar and when alt-tabbing.
Resolves: #384
We don't need to keep them in memory if we're done viewing them,
plus it avoids having to re-render a large collection when we re-open a
conversation. Now that we only load a sensible number of messages at a
time, caching them between usages is less valuable. Removing them from
the collection should free them for garbage collection.
// FREEBIE
Messages with images or media were causing the scroll position to jump
around when they loaded, because rendering them changed the height of their
elements from 0 to full-height sometime after they were inserted into
the DOM.
Now when rendering attachments, we wait for them to load so they can
render at full height immediately, then warn our parent message list
before and after a potential height change, so the scroll position can
be saved and reset.
// 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
Create a cleaner seperation between generating notifications
and updating frontend conversation views. The former is now
handled by `conversation.notify` while the latter is achieved
by triggering an event on the conversation model, which will
only be acted on if there are any views listening for it.
Additionally, instead of re-fetching the entire message history,
which is overkill, just add or update the new/modified message.
This will help speed up the newmessage event handler and also
help avoid unnecessary re-rendering when resolving key conflicts.
// FREEBIE
Follow up to ddd2e67eb5
but for incoming messages.
* Conflict state sometimes failed to be removed even though the
conflict was resolved.
* Messages failed to re-render after a conflict. We want to
re-render only the error state on outgoing messages, to avoid
flickering attachments. On incoming messages, we need to call
render to populate the message text, avatar, etc...
// FREEBIE
Display format consistent with Android:
* relative time for everything from today
* Day of week + time for within the past 7 days
* Static Month Day time for everything older
Each timestamp will only update as often as needed to stay accurate,
which is once a minute, once an hour, once a week, or never.
// FREEBIE
* Don't open message detail views from message detail views
* When message errors change, re-render the error state, but
not the message markup and contents.
* Fix renderErrors bug not removing the error class correctly.
// FREEBIE
* Refactor options.js into a view
* Break up install flow into a series of screens
* Remove bootstrap
* Make installer window static size, mostly to facilitate positioning
// FREEBIE
Bind the sub-view to some data when we initialize it, rather than
passing it in on render. That means the image view click handler will
only ever open the blob we bound it to, even if its src attr changes for
some reason, which should never happen, but if it does, it's nice to
guard against opening arbitrary urls found in the dom.
// FREEBIE
Images that are attached to messages, either sent or received
can be opened in a new tab by clicking on them.
The previous approach that used Anchors to open the image
attachmets failed in various systems because:
- Chrome on Windows recognised "blob" as protocol and tried
to find an app for it
- Chromium on Ubuntu didn't open a new window to load the URL
The new approach adds a "click" listener to the IMG element and
opens the link using window.open (which seems to be working globaly).
Resolves: #252
Per WhisperSystems/TextSecure@8a1428e, bump GIF limit to 5MB, and
audio/video limit to 100MB. Update toast to notify in correct
human-readable units. The only kB size limit is for images, and will
trigger only if after scaling up to 4 times, the rescaled image did not
come in under the size limit without unacceptable quality loss.
Closes#354
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
The resend button should disappear once you've clicked it. This was not
happening because the message detail view held a cached copy of the old
message errors. Fix by re-reading the errors when we re-render.
// FREEBIE
Opening two message-detail views in two separate conversations would
disappear one of the conversations. Fixed by better encapsulating the
sub-views of a conversation.
// FREEBIE
An exception to the previous commit, for incoming messages we should not
show a mysterious empty bubble. Instead there is some generic
non-technical error message.
// FREEBIE
Change how message errors are rendered. Errors associated with a number
will be shown under that number in the detail view rather than piling up
in the message bubble.
// FREEBIE
Only fetch them from a frontend view. If the conversation is not open,
we don't need to load the messages, and if we do load them, they will
render before we've done the initial contact info loading (as
implemented in 74e96ce).
Fixes#344
// 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
The chrome.notifications api renders iconUrls at full bleed, as opposed
to the Web Notifications api, which adds padding. This was causing our
identicons to look a bit over stretched.
Fixed by rendering them a bit larger and with some padding.
// 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
Makes the groupupdate and recipient input fields stick to the top,
restyles the typeahead as a floating dropdown list of suggestions
rather than a full width component, fixes group avatar thumbnail
rendering.
// FREEBIE
Used by member list view. Refactored some templates for shared markup.
Fixes strange behavior where members in the list were hoverable and
selectable.
// 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...
When resolving conflicts, we should not only discard the old key, but
set the new trusted key to the one the user has verified. Previously, we
would end up trusting the first-seen new key, which may not be the one
the user verified.
// FREEBIE
Related with #278. Redone to include keeping scroll at the bottom when resizing the window, as suggested in #305, and to better fit the current code structure.
We're overriding the default with null often enough that we should
just change the default.
Consequently, no more phantom blank conversations with oneself should
appear after receiving a group update. They were being added to the
inbox because they were incorrectly initialized with an active_at value.
Fixes#281
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.
In lieu of a click event, the change event was being fired when clicking
out of the search input. The input event seems to be what we actually want.
Fixes#273
Line breaks can now be insterted into message box using Shift+Enter or Alt+Enter. Messages with new lines are properly displayed in the conversation view (but only there, to keep inbox clean). The template was modified to allow HTML, but the message itself is sanitized before new line handling is run.
Protocol and handling is all analogous to contact sync: Multiple
GroupDetails structs are packed into a single attachment blob and parsed
on our end. We don't display the synced groups in the conversation list
until a new message is sent to one of them.
// FREEBIE
* Fix a css bug preventing bottom bar from sticking to the bottom.
* Resize discussion container as a function of the overall window
height. The previous difference-based method gives the wrong result
when the window height changes but the bottom-bar height stays the
same.
// FREEBIE
Fixes#264
Implement the equivalent of java's String.hashCode on the conversation model.
Change avatar template and attributes. Use css classes for colors.
This behavior was intended to help keep the websocket alive, but keeping
the inbox window around can cause some stale frontend state. Also we now
have a keepalive alarm to check for new messages once a minute.
