This commit also removes safe-area-inset-bottom when keyboard is displayed to avoid having a taller than needed space between composer and replying indicator.
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
This feature adds the replying indicator in threads, it uses the same `/chat-reply/CHANNEL_ID` prefix than the channel composer replying indicator as we don't have specific right on threads ATM (if you can access channel, you can access thread). Thread will however use a presence channel name of the following format: `/chat-reply/CHANNEL_ID/thread/THREAD_ID`
This commit also simplifies the computation of `users` to eventually avoid a race-condition leading to a leak of the indicator in another channel/thread.
<!-- NOTE: All pull requests should have tests (rspec in Ruby, qunit in JavaScript). If your code does not include test coverage, please include an explanation of why it was omitted. -->
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.
After this change, in order to join a chat channel, a user needs to be in a group with at least “Reply” permission for the category. If the user only has “See” permission, they are able to preview the channel, but not join it or send messages. The auto-join function also follows this new restriction.

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.
- do not render sidepanel resizer as it's not usable on mobile
- removes 1px to the bottom spacing, this spacing won't be necessary once we implement chat-replying-indicator for thread
This commit implements all the necessary logic to create thread seamlessly. For this it relies on the same logic used for messages and generates a `staged-id`(using the format: `staged-thread-CHANNEL_ID-MESSAGE_ID` which is used to re-conciliate state client sides once the thread has been persisted on the backend.
Part of this change the client side is now always using real thread and channel objects instead of sometimes relying on a flat `threadId` or `channelId`.
This PR also brings three UX changes:
- thread starts from top
- number of buttons on message actions is dependent of the width of the enclosing container
- <kbd>shift + ArrowUp</kbd> will reply to the last message
Prior to this fix uploads event could end up in the wrong textarea. This will most importantly allow pasting an image in the thread composer.
Also fixes a minor padding issue on thread when uploads are associated to it.
`.chat-channel` had `300px` min width, when `.chat-drawer` was `250px`, resulting in overflowing channel when in drawer. This commits ensures the limits are always set at `250px`.
- 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
This reverts commit 768851920e.
This was causing issues with the local date popup, cutting off
the top of it, there is no way to overrule an overflow:hidden
on the parent. Not z-index related.
This commit introduces a ChatChannelPaneSubscriptionsManager
and a ChatChannelThreadPaneSubscriptionsManager that inherits
from the first service that handle MessageBus subscriptions
for the main channel and the thread panel respectively.
This necessitated a change to Chat::Publisher to be able to
send MessageBus messages to multiple channels based on whether
a message was an OM for a thread, a thread reply, or a regular
channel message.
An initial change to update the thread indicator with new replies
has been done too, but that will be improved in future as we have
more data to update on the indicators.
Still remaining is to fully move over the handleSentMessage
functionality which includes scrolling and new message indicator
things.

- Back button in drawer will bring you back to channel
- Larger font for thread indicator
- Prevents screen flashing due to clearing messages when they were already loaded
- Fixes a bug where did-update params were inverted causing an error when expanding/collapsing drawer
This commit introduces a new thread indicator for channels with `threading_enabled`
set to true and the `enable_exp` site setting set to true. In addition, in the main channel
stream we now hide all messages that are linked to threads except for the original message,
disabling the concept of an "echo mode" for now, we may revisit this in future. We also
remove the jigsaw puzzle "Open Thread" button for message actions, since the thread
indicator can just be used instead.
This also stops the `Chat::Publisher` from sending any messages related to chat
messages that are linked to a thread, unless that chat message is the OM of the
thread. A subsequent PR will link up all MessageBus events within the thread panel,
and for the message indicators.
Another subsequent PR will add the excerpt of the latest message in each thread,
as well as the avatars of the users messaging in the thread.

- 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
- clicking empty area on the header will toggle collapse/expand it
- applies a background on hover of the channel title
- active state for small buttons
- the back button now has the correct icon color when hovered
- adds missing focus state for heade buttons icons
When hovering the chat message actions we are technically not hovering the message anymore, which was removing the background and is slightly unexpected. This commit ensures we keep this background until closing the message actions.
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.

- Raises the scroll distance to 250px instead of 100px to show the arrow down button
- Always have a margin on drawer when showing channel list, removes this margin when the scrollbar is apparent
- Makes all scrollbar used in chat look the same through the chat-scrollbar mixin
- Ensures hover state is not persistent on channel row in mobile
- Makes the channel row full width on mobile
This commit main goal was to comply with Zeitwerk and properly rely on autoloading. To achieve this, most resources have been namespaced under the `Chat` module.
- Given all models are now namespaced with `Chat::` and would change the stored types in DB when using polymorphism or STI (single table inheritance), this commit uses various Rails methods to ensure proper class is loaded and the stored name in DB is unchanged, eg: `Chat::Message` model will be stored as `"ChatMessage"`, and `"ChatMessage"` will correctly load `Chat::Message` model.
- Jobs are now using constants only, eg: `Jobs::Chat::Foo` and should only be enqueued this way
Notes:
- This commit also used this opportunity to limit the number of registered css files in plugin.rb
- `discourse_dev` support has been removed within this commit and will be reintroduced later

- Will consider a message read only one the bottom of the message has been read
- Will allow to mark a message bigger than the view port as read
- Code should be more performant as the scroll is doing less (albeit more often)
- Gives us a very precise scroll state. Problem with throttling scroll is that you could end up never getting the even where scrollTop is at 0, opening a whole range of edge cases to handle
1. Restore the left margin on both (which reflects the right margin of the scroll bar space)
2. Fix the center alignment of scroll-to-bottom icon
3. Fix the spacing of the `-` character between a date label and "last visit" label
4. Fix the incorrect display the border on date label when at the bottom of viewport
- group writes when computing separators positions
- shows skeleton only on initial load
- forces date separator to be pinned when first message to prevent a pinned - not pinned - pinned sequence when loading more in past
- relies on `message.visible` property instead of checking `isElementInViewport`
- attempts to load next/prev messages earlier
- do not scroll to on fetch more
- hides `last visit` text while pinned
This PR is introducing glimmer usage in the chat-live-pane, for components but also for models. RestModel usage has been dropped in favor of native classes.
Other changes/additions in this PR:
sticky dates, scrolling will now keep the date separator of the current section at the top of the screen
better unread management, marking a channel as unread will correctly mark the correct message and not mark the whole channel as read. Tracking state will also now correctly return unread count and unread mentions.
adds an animation on bottom arrow
better scrolling behavior, we should now always correctly keep the scroll position while loading more
reactions are now more reactive, and will update their tooltip without needed to close/reopen it
skeleton has been improved with placeholder images and reactions
when making a reaction on the desktop message actions, the menu won't move anymore
simplify logic and stop maintaining a list of unloaded messages

**This PR creates a new core reusable component wraps a character counter around any input.**
The component accepts the arguments: `max` (the maximum character limit), `value` (the value of text to be monitored).
It can be used for example, like so:
```hbs
<CharCounter @max="50" @value={{this.charCounterContent}}>
<textarea
placeholder={{i18n "styleguide.sections.char_counter.placeholder"}}
{{on "input" (action (mut this.charCounterContent) value="target.value")}}
class="styleguide--char-counter"></textarea>
</CharCounter>
```
**This PR also:**
1. Applies this component to the chat plugins edit channel's *Edit Description** modal, thereby replacing the simple text area which provided no visual indication when text exceeded the max allowed characters.
2. Adds an example to the `/styleguide` route
* UX: handle long userstatus in menupanel
* UX: remove margin on userstatus emoji
* UX: change emoji sise of user status in DM creator
* FIX: user status overflow on chat index
Before that change, footer of the sidebar was not visible.
Footer is very important, especially now, when add custom section button is located there.
Also, distance between chat input and keyboard were increased

On mobile, we just need to add `min-width: 0` to
`chat-live-pane` so it will not overflow the grid
defined in `main-chat-outlet.chat-view`.
The overflow could be triggered by:
1. Replying on mobile to a really long chat message
2. Uploading > 2 files
Both of these situations are fixed.
This css was causing the view on mobile to take more space than the available width. This was particularly visible with uploads due to a bug preventing the overflow, this is also fixed.
This commit introduces the skeleton of the chat thread UI. The
structure of the components looks like this. Its done this way
so the side panel can be used for other things as well if we wish,
not just for threads:
```
.main-chat-outlet
<ChatLivePane />
<ChatSidePanel>
<-- rendered with {{outlet}} -->
<ChatThread />
</ChatSidePanel>
```
Later on the `ChatThreadList` will be rendered here as well.
Now, when you go to a channel you can open a thread by clicking
on either the Open Thread message action button or by clicking on
the reply indicator. This will take you to a route like `chat/c/:slug/:channelId/t/:threadId`.
This works on mobile as well.
This commit includes basic serializers and routes for threads,
as well as a new `ChatThreadsManager` service in JS that caches
threads for a channel the same way the channel threads manager does.
The chat messages inside the thread are intentionally left out
until a later PR.
**NOTE: These changes are gated behind the site setting enable_experimental_chat_threaded_discussions
and the threading_enabled boolean on a ChatChannel**
UI is not modified much besides removing the border-bottom, and using only message body.
However instead of having a fix template, this is all automatically generated and random, resulting in a more natural experience.
Only the header's height and 15px spacing are removed from the height of the viewport.
Previously it was limited to 90vh and there was also a useless property on a child node limiting it to 85vh. We now use only one property.
This commit implements a requested feature: resizing the chat drawer.
The user can now adjust the drawer size to their liking, and the new size will be stored in localstorage so that it persists across refreshes. In addition to this feature, a bug was fixed where the --composer-right margin was not being correctly computed. This bug could have resulted in incorrectly positioned drawer when the composer was expanded.
Note that it includes support for RTL.
This commit introduces the ability to edit the channel
slug from the About tab for the chat channel when the user
is admin. Similar to the create channel modal functionality
introduced in 641e94f, if
the slug is left empty then we autogenerate a slug based
on the channel name, and if the user just changes the slug
manually we use that instead.
We do not do any link remapping or anything else of the
sort, when the category slug is changed that does not happen
either.
This commit allows us to set the channel slug when creating new chat
channels. As well as this, it introduces a new `SlugsController` which can
generate a slug using `Slug.for` and a name string for input. We call this
after the user finishes typing the channel name (debounced) and fill in
the autogenerated slug in the background, and update the slug input
placeholder.
This autogenerated slug is used by default, but if the user writes anything
else in the input it will be used instead.
We refer to the channel name rather than title elsewhere
(including the new channel modal), so we should be consistent.
Title is an internal abstraction, since DM channels cannot have
names (currently).
Also change the name field on channel edit to a input type="text"
rather than a textarea, since we don't want a huge input here.
- improves UI by displaying channel status on it's own line
- ensures channel status is correctly updated right after the request on frontend
- adds status on info page
Note this is a very large PR, and some of it could have been splited, but keeping it one chunk made it to merge conflicts and to revert if necessary. Actual new code logic is also not that much, as most of the changes are removing js tests, adding system specs or moving things around.
To make it possible this commit is doing the following changes:
- converting (and adding new) existing js acceptances tests into system tests. This change was necessary to ensure as little regressions as possible while changing paradigm
- moving away from store. Using glimmer and tracked properties requires to have class objects everywhere and as a result works well with models. However store/adapters are suffering from many bugs and limitations. As a workaround the `chat-api` and `chat-channels-manager` are an answer to this problem by encapsulating backend calls and frontend storage logic; while still using js models.
- dropping `appEvents` as much as possible. Using tracked properties and a better local storage of channel models, allows to be much more reactive and doesn’t require arbitrary manual updates everywhere in the app.
- while working on replacing store, the existing work of a chat api (backend) has been continued to support more cases.
- removing code from the `chat` service to separate concerns, `chat-subscriptions-manager` and `chat-channels-manager`, being the largest examples of where the code has been rewritten/moved.
Future wok:
- improve behavior when closing/deleting a channel, it's already slightly buggy on live, it's rare enough that it's not a big issue, but should be improved
- improve page objects used in chat
- move more endpoints to the API
- finish temporarily skipped tests
- extract more code from the `chat` service
- use glimmer for `chat-messages`
- separate concerns in `chat-live-pane`
- eventually add js tests for `chat-api`, `chat-channels-manager` and `chat-subscriptions-manager`, they are indirectly heavy tested through system tests but it would be nice to at least test the public API

The first part of these changes adds a new setting called `max_mentions_per_chat_message`, which skips notifications when the message contains too many mentions. It also respects the `max_users_notified_per_group_mention` setting
and skips notifications if expanding a group mention would exceed it.
We also include a new component to display JIT warning for these limits to the user while composing a message.

The settings tab of each category channel should now present the option to allow or disallow channel wide mentions: @here and @all.
When disallowed, using these mentions in the channel should have no effect.
