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.
Also, show topic by creating a message object, instead of directly
inserting HTML into the DOM. This is a necessary precursor to being able
to render chat messages via lit-html/lit-element.
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.
This will make it easier to add config-based functionality, such as
allowing/showing the `/topic` slash command only to those users who are
allowed to set the subject.
Otherwise we might run into a situation where a very old,
cached MUC that's being restored has `connection_status` set to ENTERED
(and the user happens to be in the MUC via another client)
and then restores cached messages without taking
`clear_messages_on_reconnection` into account.
We now distinguish more clearly between joining and re-joining a MUC.
The `enterRoom` method has been refactored away.
Instead, `join` or `rejoin` should be used, depending on the circumstances.
Don't fetch cached occupants in the `initialize` function, instead, only fetch
them if we're restoring a MUC that we're still connected to.
If we're not restoring a still-connected MUC, then we clear the
occupants cache, and the messages cache if `clear_messages_on_reconnection` is `true`.
updates #1807
updates #1808
- Add config variable `muc_show_logs_before_join`
- Restore nickname form for the original use-case (when not showing MAM logs before joining).
- Render nickname form in the `.muc-bottom-panel` when showing MAM logs (instead of in a modal)
- Show a message when there aren't any archived messages to show
- Fix converse-mam so that chat logs are properly fetched before entering a MUC
closes#1266
- 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.
