- Use native `getTime` method instead of moment's `valueOf`
- Use toISOString() instead of moment().format()
This makes the code timezone independent since we're now globally using UTC.
Messages (received directly or via MAM) are stored in a backbone
collection that's kept sorted by the message's "time" attribute.
Various parts of the codebase rely on this behavior.
For regular messages, the time attribute is generated by
`moment().format()`, which generates a timestamp in the browser's
local timezone, for example "...+02:00".
For MAM messages, we would previously copy the "delay.stamp" value
into the "time" attribute verbatim. However, that value is generated
by the server and is unlikely to be in the same timezone locale.
ISO timestamps expressed in different timezones cannot be sorted
lexicographically, breaking the premise of keeping the messages
collection sorted by time.
* Rooms Api
number of parameters in the documentation was made 2 from 3 as api which is used to open a room with default configuration has only 2 parameters.
- Let box_id start with char for valid HTML.
- No need to use SHA1 for box id
- No need for the user_id attribute.
- Set nickname when we set the roster contact.
Also...
- _converse.api.contacts.get is now async
- _converse.api.chats.create is now async
This changes the API method's current behavior by not automatically
maximizing (in `overlayed` view mode) or bringing a background chat into
foreground (in `fullscreen` view mode). Instead `force` needs to be set
to `true` for that to happen.
Set reference to roster contact on the message and chatbox object and
listen for changes to the nickname.
Currently, because chat boxes are fetched and initialized before the
roster, messages and chats are repainted with the correct display name
only later, causing a "flash" effect.
Ideally we would only initialize the chat boxes after the roster
contacts have been fetched, but this is currently not easily possible
because we need the control box to render before everything else.
