The layout class is the only class that should have knowledge of
page-level constant markup, such as #gutter and #contacts, and
should be pretty much the only place we find elements by id (with
the exception of template elements).
This change removes references to #gutter from views. Rather than
hardcoding assumptions about page layout, view elements should
ask the layout to insert themselves into the main content area by
calling Whisper.Layout.setContent.
Each conversation views now manages its own separate elements
rather than all binding to a shared #conversation element, and
similarly for message composition ui.
Also includes the beginnings of group creation UI (not working yet),
featuring bootstrap-tagsinput field for entering group recipients
Let ConversationListItemView save a reference to its corresponding
ConversationView. This lets it render or delegate/undelegate events
when opening and closing a conversation.
Similarly for ConversationView itself, which contains a MessageListView.
When a thread is 'destroyed' from the UI we delete its messages and mark
the thread as inactive, (in other words, keep it around as contact info).
Additionally, we only load active threads when initializing the UI, and
reactivate threads when new messages are added to them.
Conflicts:
js/models/messages.js
js/models/threads.js
js/views/conversations/show.js
There were a few problems.
1. The message event was being triggered in background, not popup
2. The initial message/thread fetches from localStorage were mis-ordered
3. The timestamp wasn't being extracted from the right place
4. #3 caused messages to fail validation and not be saved
1-3 are fixed. To address 4 I switched validate() to log a warning
instead of preventing save.
Adds thread model/collection for managing conversation-level state, such
as unreadCounts, group membership, thread order, etc... plus various UI
improvements enabled by thread model, including an improved compose
flow, and thread-destroy button.
Adds Whisper.notify for presenting messages to the user in an orderly
fashion. Currently using a growl-style fade in/out effect.
Also some housekeeping:
Cut up views into separate files.
Partial fix for formatTimestamp.
Tweaked buttons and other styles.
Slight revert from said commit. We really do need the
IncomingPushMessageSignal protobuf at the UI layer, mostly because
it contains the 'source' attribute, without which we don't know
who sent the message.
Also fix a crash when there are no attachments on a message.
The 'sender' field actually holds the recipient for outgoing
messages. Rename that field to 'person', indicating the 2nd
party generically.
Also decouples the thread name from thread recipients at the
view layer, in preparation for group support.
Adds Backbone-based Whisper.Messages model/collection with local storage
extension. Saves sent and received messages in Whisper.Messages instead
of message map. This will assign a unique id to the message and save it
to localStorage.
Adds Backbone-based view to popup.html
Automatically updates itself when new messages are saved to
Whisper.Messages db from the background page.
Added some shiny new styles, and started splitting up css into multiple
files for sanity's sake.
