Every time a desktop chat sound plays, there should be some visual cue as to why the sound was played in the first place.
This change follows the chat indicator preference:
- All New Messages - a blue dot is shown for all messages, so we attempt to play a sound every time
- Direct Messages, Mentions and Watched Threads - a green dot is shown for all urgent messages, so we attempt to play a sound for urgent chat notifications
- Only Mentions - only play chat sounds when user is mentioned
- Never - we never play chat sounds, as user wouldn’t know why the sound was played
This change increases the visibility of unread channels to make them stand out more in drawer mode (desktop).
When a channel is unread:
- it floats to the top;
- when multiple channels are unread, they are sorted alphabetically (equal to how it’s done on mobile)
- the unread indicator blue dot moves to directly right of the channel name
* `@ember/owner` instead of `@ember/application`
* `discourse-i18n` instead of `I18n`
* `{ service } from "@ember/service"` instead of `inject as service`
Prior to this fix we had too logic to detect if a user is active or not:
- idle codepath on the frontend
- online user ids on the backend
The frontend solution is not very reliable, and both solution are just trying to be too smart. Making a lot of people questioning why they receive a notification sometimes and sometimes not. This commit removes all this logic and replaces it with a much more simpler logic:
- you can't receive notifications for channel you are actually watching
- we won't play a sound more than once every 3seconds
We consider that you should always receive a notification sound when someone speaks directly with you in chat.
This commit also refactors the way we play audio in chat to make it simpler and throttle it to 3 seconds.
We also added a safeguard to ensure we won't play sounds for old messages, this case can happen when message bus is catching up the backlog (eg: in an inactive tab for example).
This commit reuses the existing codepath in desktop-notifications and make it available to use to chat.
primaryTab was too hard to test if not impossible in this service test, however isIdle and disabled notifications are correctly tested.
Prior to this change, only mentions would get a notification and a sound. This change will not create a notification for this case, but will play a sound. This is still respecting notification settings, not playing the sound when you are viewing the channel or not following it.

menus and tooltips are now appended to their own portals. The service are the only responsible for managing the instances, prior to this commit, services could manage one instance, but the DMenu and DTooltip components could also take over which could cause unexpected states.
This change also allows nested menus/tooltips.
Other notable changes:
- few months ago core copied the CloseOnClickOutside modifier of float-kit without removing the float-kit one, this commit now only use the core one.
- the close function is now trully async
- the close function accepts an instance or an identifier as parameter
- prevents re-rendering avatars while updating messages quickly in the thread preview indicator
- ensures the cancel button is shown when you are admin OR when the streamed message is a reply to the current user
The complexity of the situation is that we don't want to load faker into production by default but fabricators and styleguide are available on production.
This is made possible through app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/lib/load-faker.js which contains a function to ensure faker is loaded asynchronously (loadFaker) and another function to access the loaded faker (getLoadedFaker).
Note 1: this commit also refactors fabricators to have access to context and use faker where possible
Note 2: this commit moves automation to admin bundle

Some of the properties, like 'categoriesById', 'parentCategory' and
'subcategories', were updated manually when categories were loaded.
This was not ideal because it required a lot of code to keep the
objects in sync and some of the properties were not updated correctly.
Prior to this change we would pre-load all the user channels which making initial page load slower. This change will make them be loaded right after initial load. In the past this was not possible as the channels would have to be loaded on each page transition. However since about a year, we made the channels to be cached on the frontend and no other request will be needed.
I have decided for now to not show a loading state in the sidebar as I think it would be noise, but we can reconsider this later.
Note given we don't have the channels loaded at first certain things where harder to accomplish. The biggest UX change of this commit is that we removed all the complex logic of computing the best channel to display when you load /chat. We will now store the id of the last channel you visited and will use this id to decide which channel to show.
**TL;DR:** Refactor autocomplete to use async markdown parsing for code block detection.
Previously, the `inCodeBlock` function in `discourse/app/lib/utilities.js` used regular expressions to determine if a given position in the text was inside a code block. This approach had some limitations and could lead to incorrect behavior in certain edge cases.
This commit refactors `inCodeBlock` to use a more robust algorithm that leverages Discourse's markdown parsing library.
The new approach works as follows:
1. Check if the text contains any code block markers using a regular expression.
If not, return `false` since the cursor can't be in a code block.
1. If potential code blocks exist, find a unique marker character that doesn't appear in the text.
1. Insert the unique marker character into the text at the cursor position.
1. Parse the modified text using Discourse's markdown parser, which converts the markdown into a tree of tokens.
1. Traverse the token tree to find the token that contains the unique marker character.
1. Check if the token's type is one of the types representing code blocks ("code_inline", "code_block", or "fence").
If so, return `true`, indicating that the cursor is inside a code block.
Otherwise, return `false`.
This algorithm provides a more accurate way to determine the cursor's position in relation to code blocks, accounting for the various ways code blocks can be represented in markdown.
To accommodate this change, the autocomplete `triggerRule` option is now an async function.
The autocomplete logic in `composer-editor.js`, `d-editor.js`, and `hashtag-autocomplete.js` has been updated to handle the async nature of `inCodeBlock`.
Additionally, many of the tests have been refactored to handle async behavior. The test helpers now simulate typing and autocomplete selection in a more realistic, step-by-step manner. This should make the tests more robust and reflective of real-world usage.
This is a significant refactor that touches multiple parts of the codebase, but it should lead to more accurate and reliable autocomplete behavior, especially when dealing with code blocks in the editor.

This commit includes several changes to make hashtags work when "lazy
load categories" is enabled. The previous hashtag implementation use the
category colors CSS variables, but these are not defined when the site
setting is enabled because categories are no longer preloaded.
This commit implements two fundamental changes:
1. load colors together with the other hashtag information
2. load cooked hashtag data asynchronously
The first change is implemented by adding "colors" to the HashtagItem
model. It is a list because two colors are returned for subcategories:
the color of the parent category and subcategory.
The second change is implemented on the server-side in a new route
/hashtags/by-ids and on the client side by loading previously unseen
hashtags, generating the CSS on the fly and injecting it into the page.
There have been minimal changes outside of these two fundamental ones,
but a refactoring will be coming soon to reuse as much of the code
and maybe favor use of `style` rather than injecting CSS into the page,
which can lead to page rerenders and indefinite grow of the styles.
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.
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.
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.
This consistently fails on core now, see

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
Subscriptions manager have been a pain since the beginning, one of the problem is that thread and channels behave mostly the same but with various small difference which I expect to increase over time.
Trying to use subclasses for this case has proven to be a mistake, this commit now uses a class for each case (channel, thread) which for now contains a lot of duplication, which might be reduced in the future but has the merit to make reasoning about each case very simple.
This refactor is fixing a bug introduced in 90efdd7f9d which was causing the wrong channel to be unsubscribed, this shouldn't be possible anymore. We had tests for this which were disabled due to flakeyness, I will consider re-enabling them in the future.
Other notes:
- notices had been added to the subscriptions manager service, they have been moved into their own dedicated service: `ChatChannelNoticesManager`
- the `(each model)` trick used in `<ChatChannel />` since 90efdd7f9d to ensure atomicity has been applied to `<ChatThread />` too
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`
As of #23867 this is now a real package, so updating the imports to
use the real package name, rather than relying on the alias. The
name change in the package name is because `I18n` is not a valid
name as NPM packages must be all lowercase.
This commit also introduces an eslint rule to prevent importing from
the old I18n path.
For themes/plugins, the old 'i18n' name remains functional.
The setting will change from "%{count} days" to "Chat settings have been set to retain channel messages for %{count} day."
This commit also:
- migrates `chat-retention-reminder` to gjs
- adds a "type" property to `chat-retention-reminder-text` to allow use a long or short text depending on where it's used.
