From 8443ca58289055cde25a3cdaaa3987c6f8cfde4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: George Goldberg Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2016 13:21:22 +0100 Subject: PLT-1759 - Auto-complete for !channels when posting messages. (#3890) * Auto-complete for !channels when posting messages. This is part 1 of the fix for PLT-1759 to make channels linkable. Still to do: - Make the !channels clickable when they appear in messages. This is blocked until PR #3865 is resolved as it looks like that refactors some of the code that would be touched by making this change. - Unit tests. Again, I think the above referenced PR should be merged before tackling this. * Fix style problems. * Highlighting of !channel-names in messages. This only identifies the !channel-name (not the display name). The implementation of the auto-complete on channel names now needs to be modified to convert to the channel handle before sending the message. * Display !channel-name as !Display Name. When we encounter !channel-name in a message, display it as a link using the channel's actual name rather than it's handle (name). * Match on names and display name, and use name. * Autocomplete channels matching on both the name and the the display name. * Use the name as the text we fill in instead of the display name. It's potentially a bit ugly, but it minimises complexity for now as otherwise we'd have to do complicated things to the message box. * Fix style issues. * Load more channels everywhere. Whenever we load the list of channels, we should also load the list of more channels. This is to enable auto-completing and auto-linking of all channels whether or not the user is in them currently. * Include more channels in the map for linking. * Listen for channel list updates for autolinking. * Remove accidental console.log. * Autocomplete on more channels too. * i18n for channel autocomplete. * Link directly to channels in !channel mentions. This currently does not work if you aren't a member of that channel. Need to decide what the correct behaviour is in that case. * Fix style issues. * Show channel name and handle in suggestion. * Match channels only at start or after space. * Better matching in text-formatting. Only match channels after a space-type character or at the start in the posts list too. * Move the route construction to make tests work. Moves route-construction out of text_formatting.jsx and into utils.jsx so that the unit tests work once again. --- webapp/actions/global_actions.jsx | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'webapp/actions/global_actions.jsx') diff --git a/webapp/actions/global_actions.jsx b/webapp/actions/global_actions.jsx index 87bd20165..3b38d16b0 100644 --- a/webapp/actions/global_actions.jsx +++ b/webapp/actions/global_actions.jsx @@ -42,6 +42,7 @@ export function emitChannelClickEvent(channel) { } function switchToChannel(chan) { AsyncClient.getChannels(true); + AsyncClient.getMoreChannels(true); AsyncClient.getChannelExtraInfo(chan.id); AsyncClient.updateLastViewedAt(chan.id); AsyncClient.getPosts(chan.id); @@ -141,6 +142,7 @@ export function doFocusPost(channelId, postId, data) { post_list: data }); AsyncClient.getChannels(true); + AsyncClient.getMoreChannels(true); AsyncClient.getChannelExtraInfo(channelId); AsyncClient.getPostsBefore(postId, 0, Constants.POST_FOCUS_CONTEXT_RADIUS, true); AsyncClient.getPostsAfter(postId, 0, Constants.POST_FOCUS_CONTEXT_RADIUS, true); @@ -435,6 +437,7 @@ export function loadDefaultLocale() { export function viewLoggedIn() { AsyncClient.getChannels(); + AsyncClient.getMoreChannels(); AsyncClient.getChannelExtraInfo(); // Clear pending posts (shouldn't have pending posts if we are loading) -- cgit v1.2.3-1-g7c22
