It's better to parse an incoming message stanza early, than to have
all kinds of methods throughout the codebase that does querySelector
etc.
Firstly, it allows us to catch and report errors and malicious stanzas early on.
It also simplifies programming because you don't need to try and
remember how to properly parse a stanza, all the work is done upfront
for you.
Queue messages and handle them sequentially, each time waiting for promises to
resolve before handling the next message.
Updates #1899, which likely happens because an error message is received
before messages have been fetched.
Goal is to fix a timing bug that results in `show` being triggered
before the `ChatBoxView` has been initialized, which means that 1:1
chats aren't opened when you reload the page.
- Rename `chatRoomOpened` event to `chatRoomViewInitialized`
- Rename `chatBoxInitialized` to `chatBoxViewInitialized` and trigger only for `ChatBoxView` instances.
- New event `headlinesBoxViewInitialized`
- Trigger the `chatBoxInitialized` event when a new `_converse.ChatBox` is opened.
- Add support for switching ephemerality after message creation
- Move more methods from ChatBox and ChatRoom to utils/stanza.js
- Rename 'ephemeral' to 'is_ephemeral' since it's a boolean
- Move headless one-on-one chat functionality into converse-chat
- Split converse-headline into converse-headlines and converse-headlines-views
- Add api in `_converse.api.chatboxes` for creating chatboxes
- Add `_converse.api.controlbox.get` method
Depend on latest backbone.browserStorage which has support for IndexedDB
via localforage.
Storage operations are now asynchronous and transactional.
Bugs fixed (mostly by waiting for operations to complete):
* Rooms are now fetched asynchronously, so wait before triggering `show`
or when closing.
* Make sure chat create/update transactions complete before firing events
* Make sure chats and messages have been fetched before creating new ones.
* When doing a `fetch` with `wait: false` on a collection and then
creating a model in that collection, then once the read
operation finishes (after creating the model), the collection is emptied again.
* Patch and wait when saving.
Otherwise we have previously set attributes overriding later ones.
* Make sure api.roomviews.close returns a promise
Test fixes:
* Chats are now asynchronously returned, so we need to use `await`
* Wait for the storage transaction to complete when creating and updating messages
* Wait for all chatboxes to close
Otherwise we get sessionStorage inconsistencies due to the async nature of localforage.
* Wait for room views to close in spec/chatroom.js
In the process, remove the `closeAllChatBoxes` override in
converse-controlbox by letting the `close` method decide whether it
should be closed or not.
