- Instead of using one attribute, use one that might just contain one token
- Use the first token when tracking a child
- Mandate that no commas can be in individual tokens
This adds the `data-contained-scroll-tokens` API to elements in `ScrollPanel` which allows arbitrary containers of elements with scroll tokens to declare their contained scroll tokens. When jumping to a scroll token inside a container, the `ScrollPanel` will act as if it is scrolling to the container itself, not the child.
MELS has been modified such that it exposes the scroll tokens of all events that exist within it.This means "Jump to unread message" will work if the unread event is within a MELS (which is any member event, because even individual member events surrounded by other events are put inside a MELS).
To fix https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/2916, force the checking of scroll position by calling _onWidgetLoad (might need renaming...) when a MELS is expanded/contracted.
Also use an keying scheme for MELS that doesn't depend on the events contained, but rather a simple incrementing index based on the order of the MELS as it appears amongst all MELS.
Transition pairs joined,left and left,joined are now transformed into single meta-transitions "joined_and_left" and "left_and_joined" respectively. These are described as "joined and left", "left and rejoined".
Treat consecutive sequences of transitions as repetitions, and handle any arbitrary repetitions of transitions:
...,joined,left,joined,left,joined,left,...
is canonicalised into
...,joined_and_left, joined_and_left, joined_and_left,...
which is truncated and described as
... , joined and left 3 times, ...
This also works if there are multiple consecutive sequences separated by other transitions:
..., banned, banned, banned, joined, unbanned, unbanned, unbanned,...
becomes
... was banned 3 times, joined, was unbanned 3 times ...
The MELS can now deal with arbitrary sequences of transitions per user, where a transition is a change in membership. A transition can be joined, left, invite_reject, invite_withdrawal, invited, banned, unbanned or kicked.
Repeated segments (modulo 1 and 2), such as joined,left,joined,left,joined will be handled and will be rendered as " ... and 10 others joined and left 2 times and then joined". The repeated segments are assumed to be at the beginning of the sequence. This could be improved to handle arbitrary repeated sequences.
- The MessagePanel now uses the same key for the MELS instances rendered so that entirely new instances are not created, they are simply passed new props (namely when new events arrive).
- MELS itself now uses `shouldComponentUpdate` so that it only updates if it is given a different number of events to previous or if it is toggled to expand.
Also, the net change of nil is detected as having the first and last events being _different_. The summary should only include those that have their first and last events being the _same_ because that is a net change (within the block of member events).
* Fix join/part collapsing regressions
* Simplify loop
* Explain e,e
* Explain return null in _renderSummary
* Kill it properly
* Move . to _renderSummary
* Only use the first and last events to decide whether a net change has occured
* Do not sort events by TS before summarising
* fix loop and comment
* remove data-number-events
* Better explanation comment in _renderSummary
* Less tortuous comment
