Note that substantial changes will be required for the updated Android
mockups, putting the quotation into the text box next to the attachment
preview.
- Remove extra padding at top of Android bubbles, via sibling selector
- Don't include .attachments, .quote-wrapper, .content in bubble unless
we actually need them. This allows for sibling selectors.
- This is a different technique for adding the ReactWrapperView for
quotes - it is now appended to the DOM instead of attaching to
something already in the DOM. This allows us to use .remove(), so it's
a bit cleaner.
- Users of ReactWrapperView can now specify tagName and className
But only if it doesn't have an error.
Also: reformatted message template in legacy_templates.js to match what
is in background.html for easier diffing.
1. MessageReceiver always pulls down thumbnails included in quotes
2. Message.upgradeSchema has a new schema that puts all thumbnails on
disk just like happens with full attachments.
3. handleDataMessage pipes quote from dataMessage into the final message
destined for the database
Quite a bit of change here.
First, the basics:
- New dependencies were added: react, typescript, tslint, and react-styleguidist
- A new npm script: transpile. It uses typescript to process .tsx files in js/react, putting .js files next to the original file. It's part of the watch functionality of grunt dev as well as the default task run with just grunt (used to build the app prior to release). A lighter-weight to get watch behavior when just working on React components is to run yarn transpile --watch.
- yarn run clean-transpile will remove generated .js files
Style guide via react-styleguidist. Example site: https://react-styleguidist.js.org/examples/basic/
- Start with yarn styleguide
- Component.md files right next to the .tsx file
- jsdoc-style comments are picked up and added to the generated part of the styleguide - the overall summary and a table listing methods and properties of the component
- It has hot-reloading!
- It uses webpack, which means that our app now pulls in webpack though we don't use it to generate anything for the production app.
- I did a bunch of work to enable the use of Backbone views in this context, which will allow us to move smoothly from the old world to the new. First, add all the permutations in the old way, and then slowly start to re-render those same views with React.
A bit of dependency cleanup to enable use in React components:
- moment was moved from our Bower dependencies to our npm dependencies, so it can be used in React components not running in a browser window.
- i18n was moved into the new commonjs format, so it can be used in React components even if window is not available.
Lastly, a bit of Gruntfile cleanup:
- Removal of Chrome App-era modifications of background.js
- Make jshint/jscs watch more targeted, since more and more we'll be using other tools
Split out test-specific and general utility react components too.
And moved our test/legacy* files for the Style Guide into a styleguide/
subdirectory of test/.
I think we'll be able to live in this directory structure for a while.
