Now that the InboxView is initialized in the background page context, we
can manipulate it more directly, without going through a global function
on the foreground window.
// FREEBIE
The window title now shows the global number of unread messages as
"Signal (1)". This way the user can see the number of unread messages
in the task bar and when alt-tabbing.
Resolves: #384
Renames extension.windows.beforeUnload to onSuspend, to match the
underlying chrome api call. onClosed fires when the frontend app window
is closed, while onSuspend fires when the background page is closed or
refreshed (which amounts to an app restart).
Frontend views are initialized iff the inbox window is opened, and so
should always be listening to onClosed in order to know when they are no
longer needed.
// FREEBIE
Create a cleaner seperation between generating notifications
and updating frontend conversation views. The former is now
handled by `conversation.notify` while the latter is achieved
by triggering an event on the conversation model, which will
only be acted on if there are any views listening for it.
Additionally, instead of re-fetching the entire message history,
which is overkill, just add or update the new/modified message.
This will help speed up the newmessage event handler and also
help avoid unnecessary re-rendering when resolving key conflicts.
// FREEBIE
Encapsulate the global conversation cache collection against accidental
access, avoiding the data-clobbering bug fixed in previous commit.
Also move some one-off program initialization code from panel controller
to background.js
// FREEBIE
When confirming the creation of a one on one conversation with a new
contact, the first click would do nothing but the second click would
work. Now the first click works.
Fix by only reject new conversation creation if not saved.
// FREEBIE
Fixes auto archive when deleting all messages, and auto unarchive when
sending a new message. Previously, the convo would not reappear in the
inbox after deleting all messages.
// FREEBIE
Only fetch them from a frontend view. If the conversation is not open,
we don't need to load the messages, and if we do load them, they will
render before we've done the initial contact info loading (as
implemented in 74e96ce).
Fixes#344
// FREEBIE
Only allow one notification at a time. Use a basic notification for
normal messages, and image notification for image messages, and a list
notification when there are multiple unread messages.
// FREEBIE
Create a new collection type for the inbox which listens to events on
the main conversation cache. Also don't reload conversation info from
the database as often or when unnecessary.
Fixes#345
// FREEBIE
There's no need to use a custom collection type here since we don't use
any of the ConversationCollection methods. This helps prevent the
introduction of duplicate models for the same chat.
// FREEBIE
Establishes basic functionality for viewing conversations in two column
mode, including message area and message list resizing, and maintaining
scroll position.
Various subviews need to be retooled but are more or less still
functional, i.e., new message, message detail, key verification, etc...
This trigger function uses chrome's runtime message passing api, which
traverses between different windows in our runtime, but we only trigger
the updateInbox event from the backgroud page, so we don't need to use
that api, which requires some extra cpu/memory overhead.
// FREEBIE
As discussed in similar issue there: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/chromedeveditor/issues/1023 - it is not possible to add onClosed event listener on an 'abstract' current window property, it needs to be set on the particular window instance instead.
Before that change, the clean up function was never actually called, because the listener was never properly attached. That was probably the reason of existence for "panel isn't actually open ... and so we try again." code that was executed if the previous window wasn't cleaned up properly (so actually every time). This code is no longer needed, I guess, as the windows are now cleaned up properly.
These collections should always be operating with the same model
instances, so let the inbox reset it self from the same in-memory
cache of conversation models used by the conversation windows.
