This commit makes a lot of small improvements of the JS of mail and
related modules.
A. Mail Manager
---------------
im_support:
- [REF] Slightly more robust way to determine a support
message, so that it more reliably falls back on
default kind of message (i.e. support channel UUID
should be clearly set).
mail:
- [REF] Improved method names for readability purposes.
Some examples:
- `fetchFromServer` becomes `fetchMailStateFromServer`
- `_initialize{*}` becomes `_update{*}FromServer`
- `_isModerator` becomes `_isMyselfModerator`
- [REF] Use 'template' pattern design to make Include on
Mail Manager much more robust. In particular,
the flow is always as follow:
1. Initialize internal state.
2. Listen on buses.
3. Fetch mail data from server.
- [REF] Improved workflow for thread window workflow
(Shorter & more readable).
B. Mail Tests
-------------
- [REF] Thread Window Tests crashes with clean message when
there are some thread windows open before running the
tests.
C. (Model) Message
------------------
- [REF] Improved method names for readability purposes
(e.g. `isAuthor` becomes `isMyselfAuthor`).
D. (Model) Thread
-----------------
- [REF] Improved `init` parameters on each kind of thread.
- [REF] 'Thread With Cache' has been renamed to 'Searchable
Thread': it embraces all kinds of threads that can
be used with the search view.
- [REF] 'DM' has been renamed to 'DM Chat' (for clarity).
- [IMP] New Livechat model in the backend.
- [REF] No more direct instances of the Channel class: public
and private channels are now 'Multi-User' channels,
while DM Chat and Livechat are 'Two-User' channels:
This change has been made so that instances of classes
always have direct classes as "leaf" in the Class
modeling. It eases making changes to a certain model
without being too constrained by another model.
- [REF] As a consequence of above changed, the method `isChat`
has been renamed to `isTwoUserThread`.
This is to avoid confusion with the terminology
'chat', which is more like a shortcut for 'quick real-
time conversation'. In other words, the property of
'chat' depends of the way to interact on a thread, not
of the intrinsic type of the thread.
Still, some parts have kept the terminology 'chat',
such as in the systray messagin menu.
- [IMP] Added `message_added` and `message_posted` hooks,
which may be useful to easily hook on those events.
E. Thread Widget
----------------
- [REF] Now uses a `mail.model.AbstractThread` for the
rendering of a thread, instead of a list of
`{mail.model.AbstractMessage}`.
- [FIX] Stick thread scroll height to bottom on new rendering,
if it was previously at the bottom of the thread.
- [REF] Option ORDER has its meaning changed: it now refers
to the chronological order of messages in the thread,
in which DESC means 'from top to bottom', while ASC
means 'from bottom to top'.
- [REF] Improved doc on templates, in particular with the
option `ORDER`.
F. Thread Window
----------------
- [REF] Moved more logic to thread windows, which were
previously in Mail Window Manager.
- [REF] Now hides the thread widget attribute. So instead of
`threadWindow.threadWidget.isAtBottom()`, it uses
`threadWindow.isAtBottom()`.
- [FIX] New received messages when not having focus on Odoo
tab should always make the corresponding thread
windows "passive" (i.e. windows that keep threads
unread until click on them).
- [FIX] Blank thread window (i.e. 'New message' TW) correctly
opens Discuss with 'Inbox' when clicking on 'Expand'
Button in the title
- [FIX] Do not display the composer for channels with property
'mass-mailing' set in thread windows.
G. (Website) Livechat
---------------------
- [REF] Some `trigger` have been turned into `trigger_up`.
- [REF] Some logic has been moved to models (e.g.
`{im_livechat.model.WebsiteLivechat}`), from
`{im_livechat.im_livechat.LivechatButton}`.
- [FIX] New messages should be received in real-time. The
longpolling was broken with a recent refactoring on
bus service (6448420c5d).
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.
