What is the problem?
The user messages routes are currently routed by the server to
`UserActionsController#private_messages`. However, the method is
essentially a no-op and does not do any preloading. As a result, when we
load the user private messages routes, the client ends up having to
issue another request to the server to get more information about the
user profile currently being viewed. This extra request is triggered by
the `user` model's `findDetails` method that is called from the `user`
route in the `afterModel` hook.
What is the solution?
The `user` model's `findDetails` method actually checks the preload
store to see if the `user_${username}` key is present in the store and
if it is, it will use the preloaded data instead of triggering another
request. Since the user private messages routes are nested under the
user route on the client side, we have to rely on the
`UsersController#show` controller action on the server side for the user private
messages route as the `UsersController#show` controller action preloads
the required user information for the client side.
Currently, providing things like `filter[%24acunetix]=1` to
`UserActionsController#index` will throw an exception because instead of
getting a string as expected, we get a hash instead.
This patch simply uses `#permit` from strong parameters properly: first
we apply it on the whole parameters, this way it filters the keys we’re
interested in. By doing this, if the value is a hash for example, the
whole key/value pair will be ignored completely.
We don't need it anymore. Actually, I removed using of it on the client side a long time ago, when I was working on improving blank page syndrome on user activity pages (see https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/14311).
This PR also removes some old resource strings that we don't use anymore. We have new strings for blank pages.
It was possible to see notifications of other users using routes:
- notifications/responses
- notifications/likes-received
- notifications/mentions
- notifications/edits
We weren't showing anything private (like notifications about private messages), only things that're publicly available in other places. But anyway, it feels strange that it's possible to look at notifications of someone else. Additionally, there is a risk that we can unintentionally leak something on these pages in the future.
This commit restricts these routes.
* Extract QuickAccessPanel from UserNotifications.
* FEATURE: Quick access panels in user menu.
This feature adds quick access panels for bookmarks and personal
messages. It allows uses to browse recent items directly in the user
menu, without being redirected to the full pages.
* REFACTOR: Use QuickAccessItem for messages.
Reusing `DefaultNotificationItem` feels nice but it actually requires a
lot of extra work that is not needed for a quick access item.
Also, `DefaultNotificationItem` shows an incorrect tooptip ("unread
private message"), and it is not trivial to remove / override that.
* Use a plain JS object instead.
An Ember object was required when `DefaultNotificationItem` was used.
* Prefix instead suffix `_` for private helpers.
* Set to null instead of deleting object keys.
JavaScript engines can optimize object property access based on the
object’s shape. https://mathiasbynens.be/notes/shapes-ics
* Change trivial try/catch to one-liners.
* Return the promise in case needs to be waited on.
* Refactor showAll to a link with href
* Store `emptyStatePlaceholderItemText` in state.
* Store items in Session singleton instead.
We can drop `staleItems` (and `findStaleItems`) altogether. Because
`(old) items === staleItems` when switching back to a quick access
panel.
* Add `limit` parameter to the `user_actions` API.
* Explicitly import Session instead.
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
Includes support for flags, reviewable users and queued posts, with REST API
backwards compatibility.
