Encapsulate the global conversation cache collection against accidental
access, avoiding the data-clobbering bug fixed in previous commit.
Also move some one-off program initialization code from panel controller
to background.js
// FREEBIE
The conversation's contactCollection only contains references to the
current membership, and will not provide contact info for people who
have left the group, causing their messages to render without numbers or
avatars.
// FREEBIE
When confirming the creation of a one on one conversation with a new
contact, the first click would do nothing but the second click would
work. Now the first click works.
Fix by only reject new conversation creation if not saved.
// FREEBIE
Fixes auto archive when deleting all messages, and auto unarchive when
sending a new message. Previously, the convo would not reappear in the
inbox after deleting all messages.
// FREEBIE
Only fetch them from a frontend view. If the conversation is not open,
we don't need to load the messages, and if we do load them, they will
render before we've done the initial contact info loading (as
implemented in 74e96ce).
Fixes#344
// FREEBIE
This listener is doing way more work than necessary to update the dom by
removing all the list items and re-creating them. This also causes the
bug where selected state is cleared when new messages arrive, not to
mention binding new event listeners without unbinding the old ones.
Fix by simply promoting an element to the top of the list when it's
active_at value changes, rather than re-rendering the whole list. This
could backfire if the value gets changed to an earlier timestamp but for
now we assume that won't happen.
// FREEBIE
The chrome.notifications api renders iconUrls at full bleed, as opposed
to the Web Notifications api, which adds padding. This was causing our
identicons to look a bit over stretched.
Fixed by rendering them a bit larger and with some padding.
// FREEBIE
Only allow one notification at a time. Use a basic notification for
normal messages, and image notification for image messages, and a list
notification when there are multiple unread messages.
// FREEBIE
Forgot to bind the socket event handler, and the then() handler should
come before the catch() handler or else it will execute every time the
catch handler executes.
// FREEBIE
Always test connectivity with an http request after a websocket closes,
regardless of what code/error it closed with. If that request succeeds,
automatically reconnect the socket.
// FREEBIE
Create a new collection type for the inbox which listens to events on
the main conversation cache. Also don't reload conversation info from
the database as often or when unnecessary.
