This update adds three tabs to the bottom of the chat overlay to make it easier for users to navigate chat on mobile.
As a result of this change:
- Direct Messages are now shown separately from public channels on mobile
- My Threads has now moved from the channel list to it's own tab on mobile
- My Threads can still be accessed on desktop via the sidebar and within the drawer channel list
- Chat back button has been updated to navigate to the correct tab (for both channels and threads)
Some special cases:
- If DMs are not used then the tab is not rendered
- If the user has no threads then the tab is not rendered
- If both the tabs for DMs and Threads aren't available then the whole footer will not be rendered
- Chat footer is only shown on the listing pages (DMs, Channels, My Threads)

This commit:
- increased the size of chat-header-offset from 46px to 56px on mobile
- tweaked navbar padding
- Increased the gap between back button and title; this means no more perfect alignment, but I think that's perfectly fine and a fair trade off for an easier click target for the back button without fear of hitting the title
Small visual improvements for chat header on mobile:
- makes the Back to Forum target size slightly narrower
- makes the text color consistent between header and back button (and d-icon)
- makes the chat heading bold
This change simplifies the layout of our header when chat is open on mobile. The search icon and hamburger menu icons are also hidden and the Discourse logo is replaced by a ← Forum link to make it easier to continue where you left off within the forum (prior to this update the user could only go back to the forum index page).
## Back button to navigate out of add-member area
Currently on mobile, once you're in the member area, there is no easy to return to the general settings area, except exiting the settings altogether, which isn't very user friendly. A go-back link solves the problem.
## Styling tweaks
* Removed the background from the leave button
* Added more spacing between the sections on desktop and removed the fixed height for rows

This new navbar component is used for every navbar in chat, full page or drawer, and any screen.
This commit also uses this opportunity to correctly decouple drawer-routes from full page routes. This will avoid having this kind of properties in components: `@includeHeader={{false}}`. The header is now defined in the parent template using a navbar. Each route has now its own template wrapped in a div of the name of the route, eg: `<div class="c-routes-threads">..</div>`.
The navbar API:
```gjs
<Navbar as |navbar|>
<navbar.BackButton />
<navbar.Title @title="Foo" />
<navbar.ChannelTitle @channel={{@channel}} />
<navbar.Actions as |action|>
<action.CloseThreadButton />
</navbar.Actions>
</navbar>
```
The full list of components is listed in `plugins/chat/assets/javascripts/discourse/components/navbar/index.gjs` and `plugins/chat/assets/javascripts/discourse/components/navbar/actions.gjs`.
Visually the header is not changing much, only in drawer mode the background has been removed.
This commit also introduces a `<List />` component to facilitate rendering lists in chat plugin.
- sticky doesn't work well with overflow: hidden parents. These overflows were used to hide other issues which shouldn't exist anyways. If it causes issues we should fix the root cause.
- our `--header-offset` is changing a lot on safari while scrolling, sometimes with very unexpected value like: negative or very high value, which causes the navbar to appear at unexpected positions for few ms, this commit is using the value of the header on insert and not changing it after, it shouldn't cause any issue.
This PR refactors the following:
* leaving all the CSS applied to the old `modal-body` classes in their respective files
* made new clean styling for `.d-modal` and refactored the template to use the new BEM classes
* `inner-`, `middle-`, `outer-` container classes are gone and replaced with simplified `wrapper` and `container` classes
* use standardised max-sizes with modifiers `-large` and `-max`
* lighter backdrop,
* min-width to prevent puny modals
* other styling changes regarding padding, close button,…
* pulled out all modal overrides into a general `modal-overrides` file + cleanup of outdated CSS
* pulled out login and create account modal styling into their own file, cause it's such a big override
* removed old general login.scss file for mobile & desktop
* only kept some remainders I don't want to touch in `app/assets/stylesheets/common/base/login.scss`
Group channels will allow users to create channels with a name and invite people. It's possible to add people even after creation of the channel. Removing users is not yet possible but will be added in the near future.
Technically a group channel is `direct_message_channel` with a group attribute set to true on its direct message (chatable). This model might evolve in the future but offers much flexibility for now without having to rely on a complex migration.
The commit essentially consists of:
- a migration to set existing direct message channels with more than 2 users to a group
- a new message creator which allows to search, add members, and create groups
- a new `AddUsersToChannel` service
- a modified `SearchChatable` service
This PR is a first step towards private groups. It redesigns settings/members area of a channel and also drops the "about" page which is now mixed into settings.
This commit is also:
- introducing chat-form, a small DSL to create forms, ideally I would want something in core for this
- introducing a DToggleSwitch page object component to simplify testing toggles
- migrating various components to gjs
* UX: fix padding on active touch
* UX: thread list header bigger + alignment
* UX: thread list alignment desktop
* UX: visual corrections to alignment
* UX: mobile alignment and padding
On mobile swiping a channel row will now show a "Remove" option. Holding this to the end will now remove this row from your list of followed direct message channels.

This commit also standardize the naming pattern of modals: `<Chat::Modal::FooBar />` and changes css class accordingly.
Co-authored-by: David Taylor <david@taylorhq.com>
This commit replaces two existing screens:
- draft
- channel selection modal
Main features compared to existing solutions
- features are now combined, meaning you can for example create multi users DM
- it will show users with chat disabled
- it shows unread state
- hopefully a better look/feel
- lots of small details and fixes...
Other noticeable fixes
- starting a DM with a user, even from the user card and clicking <kbd>Chat</kbd> will not show a green dot for the target user (or even the channel) until a message is actually sent
- it should almost never do a full page reload anymore

- gridified the thread message indicator, alleviating some problems with positioning and overflow
participant avatars will overlap/smush on smaller size and mobile
- the excerpt went from 3 > 2 lines of wrapping on smaller size, still 1 line on large size
- dropped the copy of "last reply"
- fixed wrong line height
- moved the "x replies" over to the right near the participants, as that makes more sense
- using a bubble to indicate other participants, instead of copy
This PR introduces the @container query, which is experimental. Nothing will break when it's being viewed in a not-supported browser, but it will be less elegant.
- FIX: improves reactions and thread indicator touch event on mobile
These "buttons" are located inside a scroll list which makes them very specific. The general idea is to ensure these events are passive and are not bubbling to the parent.
- DEV: moves state on top level message node
- FIX: ensures popover arrow has the correct border
- FIX: makes a message expanded by default
- FIX applies the same ios scroll fix on thread and channel
- UI: better active/hover state for thread indicator
- UI: attempts to follow more closely our BEM naming scheme
- FIX: reduces bottom padding on message with thread indicator and user info hidden
- UI: add padding for first message in thread
- FIX: prevents actions backdrop to open thread
- UI: makes thread indicator resizable
This commit fixes the selection of message in threads and also applies various refactorings
- improves specs and especially page objects/components
- makes the channel/thread panes responsible of the state
- adds an animationend modifier
- continues to follow the logic of "state" should be displayed as data attributes on component by having a new `data-selected` attribute on chat messages
This commit adds the initial part of thread indicator improvements:
* Show the reply count, last reply date and excerpt,
and the participants of the thread's avatars and
count of additional participants
* Add a participants component for the thread that
can be reused for the list
* Add a query class to get the thread participants
* Live update the thread indicator more consistently
with the last reply and participant details
image image
In subsequent PRs we will cache the participants since
they do not change often, and improve the thread list
further with participants.
This commit also adds a showPresence boolean (default
true) to ChatUserAvatar, since we don't want to show the
online indicator for thread participants.

* FIX: increases resize observer throttle delay
25ms is not necessary and was sometimes causing jankyness.
* FIX: removes ios momentum fix delay
Instead of a 50ms, simply use next+schedule("afterRender") to attempt to have the shortest delay possible.
* FIX: backdrop event propagation
Prevents backdrop touch to propagate to underlying channel/thread.
* UX: adds is-active class to container of active message
This change allows to keep the background on the active message while the actions menu is displayed.
* FIX: prevents skip-link to be selected on press
* UX: allows to close actions menu instantly
The backdrop should always receive events, we don't need to wait for the menu to be fully displayed.
* UI: adds spacing between last message and composer
* UI: makes backdrop less dark
* FIX: makes events passive on long-press modifier
This commit attempts to have a bullet proof solution to the following case:
- long press on message (finger is still pressed)
- menu appears
- a button is now at finger location
- user releases finger
- a click is triggered on the button
Classic event canceling solution won't work here for performance reasons as we need the event to be passive in a scroll list.
This commit attempts to refactor our long press logic to make it more resilient and precise.
With this improvement two very UX/UI changes have been made:
- scale animation on long press
- prevents click on reaction to propagate to the message which would cause the active state of the message to trigger
This is only the first steps of a redesign
- redesigns the buttons to have a larger hitzone
- generally bigger composer
- clicking near textarea focuses the input
- relies on the fact that safe-area-inset-bottom is set globally and doesn’t need to be set in sub components
Before this commit chat was applying a fixed height on everything under the `/chat` route. It's only really needed on the channel page with the composer at the bottom of the page.
This commits makes the following changes:
- moves height limitation from `#main-outlet-wrapper` to `.chat-channel`
- makes browse channel page and members list page full height and rely on main document scrollbar
- adds height computation for draft header and direct message creator block to ensure the height is correct when creating a draft channel
- makes chat index full height to rely on the browser scrollbar. As a result the <kbd> + </kbd> button used on mobile to create a direct message as been moved out of `<ChannelsList>` into the chat index template
- sidebar height was relying on chat setting a max height, as a result the height computation of sidebar has been changed to work correctly, especially with an opened keyboard on mobile or ipad
Since we have channel message retention which deletes
messages, we can end up with cases where the thread
is still around but the message is deleted. We will
handle the cascade delete in a different commit --
for now we will ensure the thread list lookup handles
this case and doesn't error.
This commit adds an initial thread list UI. There are several limitations
with this that will be addressed in future PRs:
* There is no MessageBus reactivity, so e.g. if someone edits the original
message of the thread it will not be reflected in the list. However if
the thread title is updated the original message indicator will be updated.
* There is no unread functionality for threads in the list, if new messages
come into the thread there is no indicator in the UI.
* There is no unread indicator on the actual button to open the thread list.
* No pagination.
In saying that, this is the functionality so far:
* We show a list of the 50 threads that the user has most recently participated
in (i.e. sent a message) for the channel in descending order.
* Each thread we show a rich excerpt, the title, and the user who is the OM creator.
* The title is editable by staff and by the OM creator.
* Thread indicators show a title. We also replace emojis in the titles.
* Thread list works in the drawer/mobile.
- using BEM notation
- making animation linear instead of default ease
- small tweaks to composer state (disabled/send-disabled/send-enabled)
- fixing bug with disabled composer on mobile
This pull request is a full overhaul of the chat-composer and contains various improvements to the thread panel. They have been grouped in the same PR as lots of improvements/fixes to the thread panel needed an improved composer. This is meant as a first step.
### New features included in this PR
- A resizable side panel
- A clear dropzone area for uploads
- A simplified design for image uploads, this is only a first step towards more redesign of this area in the future
### Notable fixes in this PR
- Correct placeholder in thread panel
- Allows to edit the last message of a thread with arrow up
- Correctly focus composer when replying to a message
- The reply indicator is added instantly in the channel when starting a thread
- Prevents a large variety of bug where the composer could bug and prevent sending message or would clear your input while it has content
### Technical notes
To achieve this PR, three important changes have been made:
- `<ChatComposer>` has been fully rewritten and is now a glimmer component
- The chat composer now takes a `ChatMessage` as input which can directly be used in other operations, it simplifies a lot of logic as we are always working a with a `ChatMessage`
- `TextareaInteractor` has been created to wrap the existing `TextareaTextManipulation` mixin, it will make future migrations easier and allow us to have a less polluted `<ChatComposer>`
Note ".chat-live-pane" has been renamed ".chat-channel"
Design for upload dropzone is from @chapoi
- rounded active style for messages
- better active state on chat message actions rows
- ensures long press on a message is not selecting text
- slightly improved messages actions animation and background fading
- ensures chat emoji picker is not cutoff on right side
- removes old legacy code related to hovered message
This commit is a major overhaul of how chat message actions work, to make it so they are reusable between the main chat channel and the chat thread panel, as well as many improvements and fixes for the thread panel.
There are now several new classes and concepts:
* ChatMessageInteractor - This is initialized from the ChatMessage, ChatMessageActionsDesktop, and ChatMessageActionsMobile components. This handles permissions about what actions can be done for each
message based on the context (thread or channel), handles the actions themselves (e.g. copyLink, delete, edit),
and interacts with the pane of the current context to modify the UI
* ChatChannelThreadPane and ChatChannelPane services - This represents the UI context which contains the
messages, and are mostly used for state management for things like message selection.
* ChatChannelThreadComposer and ChatChannelComposer - This handles interaction between the pane, the
message actions, and the composer, dealing with reply and edit message state.
* Scrolling logic for the messages has now been moved to a helper so it can be shared between the main channel pane and the thread pane
* Various improvements with the emoji picker on both mobile and desktop. The DOM node of each component is now located outside of the message which prevents a large range of issues.
The thread panel now also works in the chat drawer, and the thread messages have less
actions than the main panel, since some do not make sense there (e.g. moving messages to
a different channel). The thread panel title, excerpt, and message sender have also been removed
for now to save space.
This gives us a solid base to keep expanding on and fixing up threads. Subsequent PRs will
make the thread MessageBus subscriptions work and disable echo mode
for the initial release of threads.
