Fixes an issue with delayed rendering of the My Threads tab in chat mobile footer.
Previously we made an ajax request to determine the number of threads a user had before rendering the tab, however it is much faster (and better UX) if we can rely on a site setting for this.
The new chat_threads_enabled site setting is set to true when the site has chat channels with threading enabled.
This commit creates a shared implementation of the dates computation and moves all the logic (new messages since last visit and dates separator into one single component <ChatMessageSeparator />).
The frontend tests have been removed and only a single system spec has been added for threads as everything is sharing the same implementation and the existing channel specs should catch any regression.
Allows users to create DMs by selecting groups as a target. It also allows adding user groups to an existing chat
- When creating the channel, it expands the user group and adds all its members with chat enabled to the channel.
- After creation, there's no difference between adding a group or adding its members individually.
- Users can add multiple groups and users simultaneously.
- There are UI validations; the member count preview updates according to the member count of added groups, and it does not allow users to add more members than SiteSetting.chat_max_direct_message_users."
At the moment, when someone is mentioning a group, or using here or
all mention, we create a chat_mention record per user. What we want
instead is to have special kinds of mentions, so we can create only one
chat_mention record in such cases. This PR implements that.
Note, that such mentions will still have N related notifications, one
notification per a user. We don't expect we'll have performance
problems on the notifications side, but if at some point we do, we
should be able to solve them on the side of notifications
(notifications are handled in jobs, also some little delays with
the notifications are acceptable, so we can make sure notifications
are properly queued, and that processing of every notification is
fast enough to make delays small enough).
The preparation work for this PR was done in fbd24fa, where we make
it possible for one mention to have several related notifications.
A pretty tricky part of this PR is schema and data migration, I've explained
related details inline on the migration files.
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 regressed in 2791e75072. That commit
fixed subfolder URLs in general, but the `full_url` was adding the
subfolder prefix a second time, thus breaking this URL in emails.
Prior to this fix the number of users rendered by mentioned_users could equal the number of members in a channel which would be slow but could in more extreme case crash the page and/or server.
When validating with a dynamic set of values, especially one that might change during runtime, we should use a lambda or a proc to ensure that the validation uses the most up-to-date set of values. This is particularly important when using config.eager_load = true, which can cause some elements to be loaded only once at startup, thus not reflecting changes made at runtime.
This was the root cause of the issues here, as we were adding more ReviewableScore types after initial load through: `register_reviewable_type Chat::ReviewableMessage`
This PR is a reworked version of https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/24670.
In chat, we need the ability to have several notifications per `chat_mention`.
Currently, we have one_to_one relationship between `chat_mentions` and `notifications`:
d7a09fb08d/plugins/chat/app/models/chat/mention.rb (L9)
We want to have one_to_many relationship. This PR implements that by introducing
a join table between `chat_mentions` and `notifications`.
The main motivation for this is that we want to solve some performance problems
with mentions that we're having now. Let's say a user sends a message with @ all
in a channel with 50 members, we do two things in this case at the moment:
- create 50 chat_mentions
- create 50 notifications
We don't want to change how notifications work in core, but we want to be more
efficient in chat, and create only 1 `chat_mention` which would link to 50 notifications.
Also note, that on the side of notifications, having a lot of notifications is not so
big problem, because notifications processing can be queued.
Apart from improving performance, this change will make the code design better.
Note that I've marked the old `chat_mention.notification_id` column as ignored, but
I'm not deleting it in this PR. We'll delete it later in https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/24800.
This commit adds a new "My threads" link in sidebar and drawer. This link will open the "/chat/threads" page which contains all threads where the current user is a member. It's ordered by activity (unread and then last message created).
Moreover, the threads list of a channel page is now showing every threads of a channel, and not just the ones where you are a member.
I took the wrong approach here, need to rethink.

There will soon be additional login_required checks
for Guardian, and the intent of many checks by automated
systems is better fulfilled by using BasicUser, which
simulates a logged in TL0 forum user, rather than an
anon user.
In some cases the use of anon still makes sense (e.g.
anonymous_cache), and in that case the more explicit
`Guardian.anon_user` is used
The previous query would look at the existing messages, count them, and update the associated thread.
But, if for some reason messages were **ALL** deleted without updating the `replies_count`, then the query wouldn't find any message, and wouldn't update any thread's `replies_count`.
In other kind of channels we will only unfollow but for group channels we don't want people to keep appearing in members list.
This commit also creates appropriate services:
- `Chat::LeaveChannel`
- `Chat::UnfollowChannel`
And dedicated endpoint for unfollow: `DELETE /chat/api/channels/:id/memberships/me/follows`
This bug was very reproducible when your last read was a message you didn't read and an admin would delete it. When coming back to the channel you would get a not found, in this case we will now reset last read and present you the last message of the channel.
We could be more fancy and try to detect the next readable message but that would be more code and complexity for such a rare case.
Chat will now check for the state of `SiteSetting.private_email` when sending the summary, when enabled, the mail will not display user information, channel information other than the ID and no message information, only the count of messages.
Mentions and other post processing (like images) are still done asynchronously in the background. This should ensure reloading a channel while the message has not been processed yet doesn’t renders a blank message.
As a followup, we could probably simplify the staged message logic, given we have the new cooked on send.
This commit implements drafts for threads by adding a new `thread_id` column to `chat_drafts` table. This column is used to create draft keys on the frontend which are a compound key of the channel and the thread. If the draft is only for the channel, the key will be `c-${channelId}`, if for a thread: `c-${channelId}:t-${threadId}`.
This commit also moves the draft holder from the service to the channel or thread model. The current draft can now always be accessed by doing: `channel.draft` or `thread.draft`.
Other notable changes of this commit:
- moves ChatChannel to gjs
- moves ChatThread to gjs
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 commit starts from a simple observation: cooking messages on the hot path can be slow. Especially with a lot of mentions.
To move cooking from the hot path, this commit has made the following changes:
- updating cooked, inserting mentions and notifying user of new mentions has been moved inside the `process_message` job. It happens right after the `Chat::MessageProcessor` run, which is where the cooking happens.
- the similar existing code in `rebake!` has also been moved to rely on the `process_message`job only
- refactored `create_mentions` and `update_mentions` into one single `upsert_mentions` which can be called invariably
- allows services to decide if their job is ran inline or later. It avoids to need to know you have to use `Jobs.run_immediately!` in this case, in tests it will be inline per default
- made various frontend changes to make the chat-channel component lifecycle clearer. we had to handle `did-update @channel` which was super awkward and creating bugs with listeners which the changes of the PR made clear in failing specs
- adds a new `-processed` (and `-not-processed`) class on the chat message, this is made to have a good lifecyle hook in system specs
We were incorrectly generating URLs with message id even when it was not provided, resulting in a route ending with "undefined", which was causing an error.
This commit also uses this opportunity to:
- move `invite_users` into a proper controller inside the API namespace
- refactors the code into a service: `Chat::InviteUsersToChannel`
This change allows users to edit their chat messages based on the criteria added to Site Settings.
If the grace period conditions are met then there will be no (edited) text applied to the message.
The following site settings are added to chat:
chat editing grace period (seconds since message created)
chat editing grace period max diff for low trust levels (number of characters changed)
chat editing grace period max diff for high trust levels (number of characters changed)
Users can decide to hide their profile and presence. It seems more correct to also not return the status in this case.

At the moment writing a mention similar to `@bob...hi` would have resulted in chat trying to find a user named `bob...hi` which would fail.
This was due to the `replacements` rule not being present in the rules used to cook chat messages.
We are still missing few default rules like: normalize, smartquotes, text_join, ... which don't seem to be necessary but could be added if we found a reason for. More info at: e476f78bc3/lib/parser_core.js
Workaround for an issue we are experiencing on thread index frontend where thread loads participants correctly (up to 10), then refreshes the threads and then limits to 3 participants.
There is an issue with storing threads for the main channel view and the thread list in the same store so handling the max participants on the frontend is a workaround until channel.threadsManager is updated.
I've adjusted the tests to handle the additional data being returned from ThreadParticipantQuery.
UX changes to thread item:
- drop "last reply" timestamp copy
- drop last reply excerpt
- show up 9+OP members

This would cause an error when deleting the original message of a thread, due to the non existing `last_message`. This fix is implemented using the null pattern.
Note this commit is also using this opportunity to unify naming of null objects, `Chat::DeletedUser` becomes `Chat::NullUser`, it feels better to have a name describing what is the object, instead of a name describing why this object has to be used, which can change depending on cases.
While very fast and powerful staged threads forces a lot of gymnastic and edge cases. This patch adds a new service `Chat::CreateThread` and uses it to create a thread unconditionally when a user replies to a message in a threading enabled channel. If the user actually doesn’t send a message we will have a thread with no messages which has no important impact and could even be periodically cleaned if necessary.
Note that this commit also moves message actions to .gjs as it was the original goal of this PR to correctly check for staged thread to show the menu or not.
Introduce max length on text columns for description and slug fields within chat.
At a later date we will probably want to convert these text columns to string/varchar through a migration, but for now this change introduces a limit within the active record model.
Currently, the logic for creating a new chat message is scattered
between a controller and an “old” service.
This patch address this issue by creating a new service (using the “new”
sevice object system) encapsulating all the necessary logic.
(authorization, publishing events, etc.)
