This simplifies the code for refreshing notification counts. It now
unconditionally looks up the user object which protects against stale objects
in memory.
This also removes a pile of conditional logic we no longer need.
Doing .pluck(:column).first is a very common pattern in Discourse and in
most cases, a limit cause isn't being added. Instead of adding a limit
clause to all these callsites, this commit adds two new methods to
ActiveRecord::Relation:
pluck_first, equivalent to limit(1).pluck(*columns).first
and pluck_first! which, like other finder methods, raises an exception
when no record is found
Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
If enabled, this will fire a webhook whenever a user's notification has
been created. This could potentially be a lot of data depending on your
forum, and should be used carefully since it includes everything all users
will see in their feeds.
User.publish_notifications_state is called every time a notification is
created, this can become a very critical code path.
On some heavy notification related sites this can be a major CPU user on PG
This index makes it much cheaper to publish notification state, cause a
simple index lookup does the trick.
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
Introduce new patterns for direct sql that are safe and fast.
MiniSql is not prone to memory bloat that can happen with direct PG usage.
It also has an extremely fast materializer and very a convenient API
- DB.exec(sql, *params) => runs sql returns row count
- DB.query(sql, *params) => runs sql returns usable objects (not a hash)
- DB.query_hash(sql, *params) => runs sql returns an array of hashes
- DB.query_single(sql, *params) => runs sql and returns a flat one dimensional array
- DB.build(sql) => returns a sql builder

UX: improve messaging so notifications list is far more stable
PERF: improve performance of notifcation lookup queries
- Add feature "SetTransientHeader" that allows shipping info to server
in the next Ajax request
- remove local storage hack used for notifications
- amend lookupStale to return hydrated objects, move logic into store
- stop magically clearing various notifications (likes, invitee accepted, group_summary, granted badge)
