Chat redesign work to improve chat navigation:
- New header title with channel name (thread list on mobile)
- New header title without channel name (thread list on full page chat)
- Removes the close button on threads (mobile only)
- Updates to back button route within thread (mobile), taking user to:
- The thread index, if they accessed the thread from the thread index.
- The channel itself, if they accessed the thread directly from the channel.
- The channel itself, if they accessed the thread from a notification.
- Show thread title in chat drawer header
- Properly convert emoji in thread titles in chat header (all devices)
- Upgrades various templates to use gjs format.
This commit adds the thread index and individual thread
in the index list unread indicators, and wires up the message
bus events to mark the threads as read/unread when:
1. People send a new message in the thread
2. The user marks a thread as read
There are several hacky parts and TODOs to cover before
this is more functional:
1. We need to flesh out the thread scrolling and message
visibility behaviour. Currently if you scroll to the end
of the thread it will just mark the whole thread read
unconditionally.
2. We need to send down the thread current user membership
along with the last read message ID to the client and
update that with read state.
3. We need to handle the sidebar unread dot for when threads
are unread in the channel and clear it based on when the
channel was last viewed.
4. We need to show some indicator of thread unreads on the
thread indicators on original messages.
5. UI improvements to make the experience nicer and more
like the actual design rather than just placeholders.
But, the basic premise around incrementing/decrementing the
thread overview count and showing which thread is unread
in the list is working as intended.
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 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
- 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
- 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
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.
- Multiple style improvements
- adds last sent message date to the view

- better handling of drawer state using chat state manager
- removes various float and topic occurrences to use drawer
- ensures user can chat before doing a lot of chat setup
- fixes a bug which was creating presence errors in tests
- removes dead code
- Note this is also tweaking the UI a little bit as we are now using links/buttons in the header as needed
- It disables the find ideal channel in drawer mode, if loading `/chat` in drawer mode it will either reopen at the last position or just stay on index
