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.
Lately we've been fetching messages only after entering the MUC, so that
we already have occupants to attach to them (due to `fetchMembers` being
called before) and thereby avoid rerenders.
I've now moved message fetching into the `initialize` method and added
missing event handlers for attaching/removing the occupant from a
message as it comes online or goes offline.
We still avoid (some) rerenders because we fetch and wait for cached
occupants before fetching cached messages and we wait for `fetchMembers`
before triggering `enteredNewRoom` which causes MAM messages to be
fetched.
in which you can set user affiliations and roles.
Also, let getAffiliationList return an Error instead of `null` if you're
not allowed to fetch a particular affiliation list.
Don't remove affiliation for occupants if we weren't allowed to
fetch that particular affiliation list.
Previously, if fetching the list failed, we would return an empty array,
which would imply that the affiliation list is empty and that all
users with the given affiliation should have their affiliations removed.
Instead we now return `null` and properly account for that when setting
affiliations on existing contacts based on the returned member lists.
Includes some refactoring:
- Don't send an `active` chat state notification when entering a MUC
I can't think of a good reason why this might be necessary or desired.
- Move `setChatState` form the view to the model
- Remove unused method `handleChatStateNotification`
- Don't store `role` and `affiliation` for the current user on the
ChatRoom object, but instead on the ChatRoomOccupant object representing
the user.
Only fetch messages after we have the latest room features
Otherwise we run into race conditions where MAM messages are fetched
before we know whether (updated) the room supports MAM or not.
Unfortunately this doesn't work on Firefox and there's no proper
workaround. https://github.com/philipwalton/flexbugs/issues/108

Revert "Bugfix. Properly insert error messages and spinner"
This reverts commit 6a419cc145.
Revert "Use flexbox to keep the chat scrolled down"
This reverts commit dd91d3cc55.
By using `display: flex` and `flex-direction: column-reverse`, the chat
now automatically scrolls down when loaded, without requiring any
extra JavaScript.
We still need to scroll down with JavaScript when sending a message.
By using `column-reverse`, the messages container now works in reverse.
So the newest message is the first element in the container and the
oldest message is the last. This is the reverse of before.
Due to this, this change will likely break some plugins.
and also first check whether we have an occupant with that nickname.
Since roles are session based, it doesn't make any sense to try to
modify the role for a user not in the room.
- 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.
