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

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
