With this commit we try to improve the way the events are displayed
to the user. Now, an event is displayed for each attendee of the event
that are selected in the filter. These events are displayed correctly
based on the status of the attendee in the event.
The colors displayed for the events now represent the attendees and not the
organizer.
If an attendee edit an event, it is edited for all others attendees.
Also, when an attendee that is not the organizer try to delete the event,
then the event is now declined in place of being deleted. If the organizer
delete the event, it is deleted for all attendees.
In case of an event where all attendees have declined it but the organizer,
the organizer see now a danger icon before the name of the event and it's
outlined and not filled with color, no matter of the actual status of the
organizer in the event.

before this commit, widgets which has specialData attribute
e.g.many2manyattendee were not supported in calendar popover, as widgets with

after this commit, widgets with specialData attribute can be added in calendar
popover, specialData method is called explicitly from calendar_popover to fetch
special data required to render such widgets.
with this commit we also did miscellaneous improvement in many2manyattendee
- many2many_attendee status widget bullet not aligned with attendee name, with
this commit bullet is aligned with attendee name.
- if many2many_attendee does not have status value then do not display status
else blank space is displayed before attendee name.
- in community tentative status color in many2many attendee tags widget has
o-brand-secondary color which is almost light grey, so due to badge light grey
color and tentative status light grey color status is not displayed. To fix
this issue, set tentative status color to simple grey which is bit dark then
badge background color.

This commit refactors calendar synchronization between Odoo and Google after the
main calendar application refactoring.
This refactoring takes advantage of two new features from the Google API:
- New way of synchronizing resources efficiently[1]
Incremental sync is performed repeatedly and updates Odoo with all the changes that
happened ever since the previous sync. Each time, Odoo provides the previous sync
token it obtained from Google and stores the new sync token from the response.
- Event metadata[2]
Ability to set hidden key-value pairs with an event, called extended properties.
These extended properties are used to store the related odoo event id and the Odoo
owner id (see known limitations)
Known limitations
=================
- Let A and B be two new users (no tokens available). A creates an event in Odoo and
invites B. A is the owner of the event (user_id). Now B authenticates to his Google Calendar
account and synchronizes his calendar. We cannot send the event to A's calendar since we
don't have any access to his Google Calendar. Hence the event his sent to B's calendar.
This leads to data de-synchronisation: The owner is A in Odoo but B in Google.
The "real" owner (user A) is stored in the Google event's metadata to be able to
reconcile the owner for following synchronizations.
- Let A and B be two users of Odoo and Google Calendar. And let the Google Calendar of B
be private (e.g. if A creates an event in Google Calendar and invites B, B won't see the
event in his calendar). If A creates an event in Odoo and invites B. The event is synced
to Google Calendar of A. Now B can see the event in Odoo but he can't see it in his
Google Calendar.

TL;DR A bit of magic and ... Pouf ... all virtual events are now real records.
Purpose
=======
The current implementation of recurring events uses "virtual events" to represents all
events in the recurrence. Only one event is stored in the database. All other events are
dynamically built and sent to the web client which sees them as real records.
This implementation is old, difficult to read (6 years of changes and bug fixes) and
has become more and more difficult to maintain.
A fresh start would be welcome.
Specification
=============
When creating a recurring event, a `calendar.recurrence.rule` record should be created.
This model holds the rrule configuration and is responsible to manage events that result
from the rrule.
When a new recurrence is created, all resulting events are also created (stored in the
database). No more virtual events.
To avoid an explosion of events, a maximum of 720 events is created. With 720 events,
a daily recurrence lasts for 2 years and a weekly recurrence lasts for 15 years.
This strategy is used by Google Calendar and seems acceptable in most cases.
A cron job could eventually be introduced to generated more events as the end comes.
This allows to introduce an new rrule end type: 'Forever'. This is actually a shortcut
to create a recurrence running for 720 events.
Inspired by Google Calendar, new possibilities are introduced when modifying a recurring
event (e.g. change the name, add an attendee):
- Modify only this particular event (the event is still part of the recurrence)
- Modify this and following events (events are still in the same recurrence)
- Modify all events
In a similar way, when updating the rrule of an event (e.g. from every Monday to every
Tuesday), the user can choose to:
- Modify this and following events: the recurrence is split. The first part remains
unchanged but now ends when the second recurrence begins. The second parts is the
updated rrule.
- Modify only this particular event.
- Modify all events: Forbidden (same as Google Calendar)
Note: when events are "moved" because the rrule changed, the events are not actually
moved. They are unlinked and new events are created (See "Some design choices explained"
section).
Some design choices explained
=============================
Where to store the rrule?
-------------------------
Two options were considered.
1) Store the rrule on an event, each event of the recurrence having a Many2one
to the parent_id, aka the Master Event of the recurrence.
2) Store the rrule on another model: `calendar.recurrence.rule`. Each event in the
recurrence having a Many2one to the recurrence record.
Both options have pros & cons. But there is no clear winner.
However the actual business logic of handling the recurrence creation/update
would be the same.
Where the rrule configuration is stored is the only main difference between both options.
And this is probably the easiest part of implementing recurring events.
With that in mind, option 2) is chosen. It allows to clearly separate recurrence
logic from the events themselves. It is also the "correct" way of modeling data to avoid
many empty columns for most records.
Reusing events on rrule update
------------------------------
When an rrule is modified, events should also be updated.
In most cases, current events are unlinked and new events are created from scratch.
Only events exactly at the same time before and after the rrule update are kept.
Trying to reuse other events would require an obscure and arbitrary heuristic.
(Imagine an rrule every Monday that is changed to every Tuesday and every Friday.
What would you do?).
This implies that any change to a specific event (name change, attendee added, chatter
messages) is lost. This tradeoff seems acceptable as updating an rrule should not be
that frequent. Moreover, Google Calendar also works that way so why not Odoo?
Reusing events on events shifts
-------------------------------
On the calendar view, drag and drop an event to shift the entire recurrence.
One way to handle the recurrence shift is to apply the same timedelta to all events.
Now events are correctly positioned... except for events that were specifically
moved. Those outliers needs special handling.
This also introduces some behavior inconsistencies:
when an rrule is directly modified, events are not reused, but when the rrule is
modified by drag & dropping an event, events are reused. This option needs more code to
handle the shift and the behaviors are not consistent.
The chosen option is to find the rrule configuration from the dragged event (this is
easy) and update the recurrence with those new rrule values. This brings us back to
an rrule update (see above): code reusability yeah; one behavior to rule them all yeah.
One downside is that outliers are lost (but Google Calendar also works that way).

This commit updates the FullCalendar library from v3 to v4.
The purpose of this update for us is to add a proper support of the
drag-and-drop of events on mobile.
But also to fix scrolling issues present mainly on smaller screens. In
those configurations multi/inner-scrolls were present resulting into
either the inability to properly scroll the desired content or even
blocking alltogether the scroll.
As a nice-to-have feature, the version 4 removes its dependency on the
jQuery library, allowing a faster loading of a bigger set of events.
Last but not least, this version also reduces its dependency on the
Moment.js library (but still keeps a binding to it for compatibility
purpose).
This commit focus only on the update of the library itself and the
adaptation of the related code to keep it working. Further
enhancements/fixes will be done later on.
To do so it modifies the following points:
* Update the library in itself (js, css...).
* Convert all FullCalendar's method calls to the new syntax (e.g.
`$calendar.fullCalendar('destroy')` becomes `calendar.destroy()`).
* Add a utility method to convert v4 events into the old v3 event
structure to ease the transition from one version to the other.
* Wrap all event's custom fields into a new event's
`extendedProps` object (as its the new way of storing them instead of
directly as a prop. of the event).
* Adapt `slotLabelFormat` and `weekNumberCalculation`.
* Use the view's new names:
** `agendaDay` -> `timeGridDay`
** `agendaWeek` -> `timeGridWeek`
** `month` -> `dayGridMonth`
* Use the option's new names:
** `viewRender` -> `datesRender`
** `eventMouseover` -> `eventMouseEnter`
** `eventMouseout` -> `eventMouseLeave`
** `isRTL` -> `dir`
** `selectHelper` -> `selectMirror`
** `weekNumberTitle` -> `weekLabel`

Make the notification system better, using bootstrap toast component,
and make it available in the frontend.
The toast component allowed to remove some JS code and made the
component customizable by themes but it had to be reviewed/fixed to make
it functional (maybe bootstrap will review its work in next versions).
This work should still be improved because there are still too many
ways (deprecated and not deprecated) to instantiate toasts in the
backend. The goal here was however to make the toasts more modern and
make them available in the frontend.
This work is needed for some tasks. @kig-odoo and @fja-odoo made a
pre-work to instantiate toasts in the frontend for their respective
tasks. This commit unifies the system.

The purpose of this change is to make the code clearer and testable.
In this change, the 'tab_manager' static object was merged with the bus
cross tab.
Cleaning was done to clearly define private and public functions as well
as handlers. The methods are documented and the constants are now defined
on the class. The bus use the service behavior with 'trigger_up'.
'bus.CrossTab' who extend 'bus.Longpolling' are instantiated by the
bus service.
The class is always instantiated with a parent, or root in the case of the website
(im_livechat), to use the ajax and localstorage services. So the behavior, perhaps
logger or redefined by the parents.
Odoo used to declare two main colors: primary and optional (which are
purple and turquoise in enterprise). Those were respectively assigned
to the 'primary' bootstrap variable and the 'btn-primary' bootstrap
variable.
BS4, however, does not allow to have a different primary color for
buttons. Instead, the 'primary' color is used for all 'primary' related
components and utility classes, same as for all other colors. So, if we
want to keep our enterprise buttons green, our 'optional' colors had to
become our 'primary' color. The old odoo primary is then renamed to the
'odoo' color.
The palette of grays is now larger by default and is numbered from 100 to
900 alongside the $black and $white variables. The equivalence for older
variables and the way we used them is:
$gray-darker -> gray 900 (unused before)
$gray-dark -> gray 900
$gray -> gray 700
$gray-light -> gray 600
$gray-lighter-darker -> gray 400 (the old variable was created by us)
$gray-lighter-dark -> gray 300 (the old variable was created by us)
$gray-lighter -> gray 200
Fortunately, the 'lighter' variations we created fit well in the default
BS4 system ! Unfortunately, our $gray-lighter which carried the same
function as $gray-200 (see above) is very close to the new default
$gray-100 and quite distant from the new $gray-200. This will be handled
in the next commit.
Odoo made the bad choice of using the 'btn-sm' class for every button
instead of configuring the padding for default 'btn' to be smaller.
In BS4, the style of btn-sm is actually more complex, lowering the
font-size too. Also, btn-xs was removed so we would not have the
possibility to display smaller button than our default ones.
This commit removes btn-sm wherever it was used. Unfortunately, this
might remove it at some places where it made sense but this can be
restored in a second time.
BS4 do not provide vendor prefixes scss mixins anymore as it is meant
to be used with the 'autoprefixer' library. As we only support the last
version of every major browsers in Odoo, we took the decision to not
use the library as it was also complex to integrate in Odoo. We decided
to do the library's work by hand if it ever become necessary.

Summary
----------------------
The purpose of this commit is to improve the JS code of the `mail` module.
It applies the new coding guidelines and makes some changes on the design
of some modules, such as the old ChatManager module.
Here is a short summary of the changes that have been made:
1. New coding guidelines
- snake_case to camelCase
- prefix private attributes and methods with '_'
- jsdoc on most methods
- one class per module
2. Rename/Merge some classes
- 'chat manager' becomes 'mail manager' (internal) and 'mail service' (external)
- 'chat window manager' is now included in mail manager
- 'thread' widget now named 'thread widget'
3. New model abstraction for mail objects:
- modules 'mail.model.*'
- modeling:
0..1 0..1 * *
ThreadWindow <------> Thread <-------> Message
/ \
/ \
Thread With Cache Document Thread
/ | \
/ | \
Mailbox Channel Support Channel
|
|
DM
- Thread: the superclass of threads.
- ThreadWindow: the window component of a thread.
- Message: mail objects representing messages.
- Thread With Cache: threads that can be used with search view (Discuss app compatible).
- Document Thread: represents the thread part of a chatter.
- Mailbox: represents what was previously called 'static' channel, e.g. 'Inbox'.
- Channel: mail objects representing channels, including livechat.
- DM: special kind of Channel for 1:1 communication in the backend.
- Support Channel: special channel for im_support module.
This new modeling approach let us easily add features on all threads, such as the
possibility to put any thread in a small window.
----------------------
Known issues
----------------------
[Already Present in Master]
1. When the Discuss app is in the background with 'Inbox' as the selected
Thread, when clicking on a document thread preview in the messaging menu
of the systray, the rainbow man appears.
2. When a document with the chatter is in the background, when receiving an
inbox notification from this document thread, the document thread is
automatically marked as read, which removes the notification right away.
3. Sometimes, opening a DM window from the "blank" thread window does not work.
4. Reply-to feature on Inbox is not working: no message is sent in the document
thread.
5. On the first login of admin user with demo data, the inbox counter is wrong
(it displays 6, instead of 3).
Explanation after investigation:
> On page load, it fetches the correct number of Inbox messages (3),
but the server notifies of 3 needaction messages right away,
so it wrongly assumes these are new needaction messages.
> Not possible for web client to detect that these messages should not
increment the Inbox counter while keeping same API.
6. Notifications for new document thread messages only work when the user sets
'handle with Odoo' for the Notification Management in the preferences.
> due to notifications on the longpoll bus for document thread
messages that come from needaction notifications.
> requires server-side changes to send notification on the longpoll
bus to mentionned user.
[New]
7. When receiving a message on a unjoined channel, thread window flickers
('open' > 'close' > 'open')
Explanation after investigation:
> JS logic:
a) On auto-join, ask server to join the channel and get channel infos.
b) The info tells the channel is not detached, but JS code makes decision
to detach it, and tells server the channel is now detached.
c) From (a), server notifies on longpoll bus the state of channel, which is
not detached. The web client thinks that the window state of the channel
has been changed somewhere else, and the channel is now closed.
d) From (b), server notifies on longpoll bus the state of channel, which is
detached. The web client opens the thread window of this channel.
> The flicker didn't occur before refactoring because the web client was only
updating the model of channel when it receives the longpoll notification.
> Server behaviour on 1st longpoll notification is necessary for cross-tab
synchronization for channel window state.
> New design implies that model and view should be synchronized, hence the
issue now.
> Solution: remove server-side thread window synchronization and replace with
client-side synchronization.
----------------------
Hacks
----------------------
The module `im_livechat` now uses mail objects that are compatible with Message
and Window objects:
Modeling for messages:
AbstractMessage
/ \
/ \
LivechatMessage Message
- AbstractMessage: message compatible with the thread widget.
- LivechatMessage: message used by im_livechat.
- Message: message used with the mail manager.
Modeling for thread windows:
AbstractThreadWindow
/ \
/ \
LivechatWindow ThreadWindow
- AbstractThreadWindow: behaviour share between all types of thread windows.
- LivechatWindow: window used by im_livechat.
- ThreadWindow: window used with mail_manager.
The reason for these hacks are twofold:
1. Use the thread widget in the frontend and livechat external lib bundles.
2. Do not have a dependency with the mail manager in the frontend and external
lib bundles.

Purpose of this commit is to display today meetings in the systray. This will
help people in their daily job to have quickly access to their meetings.
It is displayed along with activities and reminders to have all current work
to do in the same place.
Displayed meetings are ongoing or not yet started ones of the current day.
All-day meetings of the current day are also shown. Done meetings are not
displayed to lessen noise.
Clicking on the systray will open the calendar view of meetings in a day
mode. This is done by a small modification in the calendar view allowing
to choose the display mode from context in addition to the mode attribute
of the action definition.

Unlike LESS, SCSS variables are not lazy loaded. Our system has thus
to be updated. This commit creates new templates which are t-called
in assets bundles (to replace the old less_helpers template):
- web._assets_utils: regroups the mixins and functions which *can*
(and so should) be available in every asset bundle
- web._assets_primary_variables: regroups the variables (or mixins
used as variables) which *can* (and so should) be available in
every asset bundle
- web._assets_secondary_variables: same as above but provides an
environnement where all the 'primary' ones are accessible. This is
for example useful to handle the community/enterprise split:
// Community primary variables
$o-pink-color: pink; // enterprise color
$o-brand-primary: blue;
// Enterprise primary variables
$o-brand-primary: $o-pink-color;
// Community secondary variables
$o-my-darker-primary: darken($o-brand-primary, 5%);
=> If there was only one variable template, enterprise edition would
have been able to define its primary color at the end but the
darker primary would not have been updated. Using the "!default"
system and putting enterprise definition above would not have
solved the problem as the $o-pink-color would not have been
accessible.
- web._assets_backend_helpers: regroups the variables, mixins and
functions which *can* (and so should) be available in the backend
asset bundle only. This is especially (only?) useful for bootstrap
variables overriddes.
- web._assets_frontend_helpers: regroups the variables, mixins and
functions which *can* (and so should) be available in the frontend
asset bundle only. This is especially (only?) useful for bootstrap
variables overriddes.
Note: bootstrap variables are not accessible in any of those anymore.
If you have variables that should depend on bootstrap, you have 3
solutions:
- Find another way: your variable is probably useless, use bootstrap
variables directly or create a variable that will influence the
value of bootstrap variables. E.g. instead of declaring:
`$myvar: $bootstrapvar * 3`
and using $myvar alone, declare:
`$myvar: 3` and use `$myvar * $bootstrapvar` where needed.
- Declare a copy of the bootstrap variable and use that one. In that
case, you should also force-set the real bootstrap one to be sure
they match (this should be done in appropriate templates mentioned
above). E.g.
```
$o-boostrapvar: 5;
...
$boostrapvar: $o-bootstrapvar;
```
- Set your variable to null and set it to your bootstrap expression
in the file you will need it (where bootstrap variables are accessible)
without forgetting to add the !default flag to allow overriddes.
```
$myvar: null;
...
$myvar: $bootstrapvar * 5 !default;
```
This commit also partly changes the variable names to follow the
convention:
$o-<app_id>-<name> where 'app_id' is the current's app name or a
meaningful unique identifier ("theme" for all themes for example, as
no multiple themes can be installed).
Convert content so that the assets compile on app installation. The
style is still broken after this as the variables/mixins/... are not
defined in the right order (as it did not matter in LESS but does in
SCSS).
This commit basically changes:
- Variables: @var_hello -> $var-hello
- Mixins: .mixin_world() {} -> @mixin mixin-world {}
- Classes used as mixin: .my_class() -> @extend .my_class
- Here there were no other solution than to convert the use of
a mixin call by the use of an extend as a first approximation
- LESS functions -> SCSS functions (e.g. fade -> rgba)
- Move first variable definition before the variable is used
- Still need to make sure last variable definition is at the
right place
This commit improves the JS code of the mail module,
which comes maily from the new coding guidelines
and the addition of "JS services".
JS services are important objects that do not fit
well in the component tree, such as chat_manager
or ajax.
The benefits of JS services are improved readability
of the code, reduced coupling, and more testable
modules. In particular, discuss was hard to
Summary of the changes:
- ClientAction has been renamed into Discuss
- Clear instantiation of chatManager
- New coding guidelines in most mail modules
- JS Services can interact with each other
- Chat Manager and Window Manager are services
- Window Manager renamed to Chat Window Manager
- bus.bus is now encapsulated in Bus Service (a service)
- The test infrastructure has been tweaked with JS Services
- Chat Mixin has been removed
A future improvement would be to translate some 'trigger' into 'trigger_up'.
This commit improves the use of mail activities by allowing their
integration with the calendar. Activity types now have a category
field that can be used to trigger some specific behavior. First
specific behavior is to have activity types of meeting category.
Creating activities of this type trigger a jump to the calendar to
schedule the meeting. Meeting activities and calender events are
linked to be able to easily navigate through the document, its activities
and its meetings.
Configuration is done using a category on activity types instead of some
hardcoded "meeting" activity to avoid issues with master data and to be
able to choose which activity type should trigger this behavior.
If the option 'event_open_popup' is set to true, then the calendar view will open events (or records) in a FormViewDialog. Otherwise, it will open events in a new form view (with a do_action)
The RPC system was not completely satisfactory, we decided to prepare
the future and do it properly. This commit introduces the new rpc
system, which replace the previous new one. We now simply have a
method, this._rpc, which takes a dictionary of parameters. The idea is
that depending on the parameters, it is able to add correct default
value when necessary.
For situations where we don't have the this._rpc method, we can use the
rpc.query method, which takes the same arguments, but directly calls
ajax.rpc instead of triggering up some events.
The new views and widgets (at least some of them) first landed
in web_studio (v10), and they we moved later to web, so changes
in web_studio need to be applied in web.
This commit introduce a full redesign of all JS views. We started
basically from scratch. The goal was to unify all the various views
under a common framework, to make them testable, to make then usable in
different conditions (in studio, or in the frontend), and to make our
lives easier.
Some important points are:
- we introduced new coding guidelines (camelCase, 80 chars width, ...)
- we have a brand new testing framework (still QUnit based)
- kanban view moved to the web addon
- calendar view (formerly web_calender) moved to web as well
- the tree view was removed
- all new code should be documented
We hope that this code is the start of a new era for the Odoo web
client, we want to have a high quality codebase, well documented, well
tested, well designed.
Work done by the framework team: mostly aab, ged, chm, dmo, qsm
