feat(MessageGroup) - group system messages #9777

Antreesy · 2023-06-14T15:38:03Z

☑️ Resolves

Fix Frontend - Group system messages from calls #9678
New component and util for handling groups of system messages added
Combine messages for following actions:
- participants being added to the conversations
- participants promoted to / demoted from moderators
- participants joined / left the call
- participant reconnected to the call
Light sort of messages within one group:
user added/removed => moderator promoted/demoted => call started => recording started => call joined/left => call ended

🚧 Tasks

Design: appearance of header and collapsed messages, toggle button, animation
RFC: re-sorting system messages within one MessagesSystemGroup: define a list of system messages being sorted, and theirs order (sorting of related messages brings weird results , like call_left and call_joined in various combinations, so they're not sorted between each other)
Follow-up - test coverage
Follow-up - messages re-rendering

Very nice, could we please always align the button with the date? Meaning to the first line of the system message

follow-up: messages are re-rendered on each fetch, so hidden messages collapse each time

jancborchardt

Very nice @Antreesy! One detail – as per design guidelines we never use italic font as it can be difficult to read for people. Since they are in a container already they do not need to be italic as well. :)

Rebased on top of refactor+bugfix PR #9897

ShGKme · 2023-07-22T10:49:37Z

Is it still work in progress, or ready for code review?

Is it still work in progress, or ready for code review?

There still is a room for improvement, but mostly about error cleanup and refactoring.
Main Feature is working, so the code could be checked already

Maybe underlying "and 7 more participants" and making it into an <a> that expands the content on click?

nimishavijay · 2023-08-02T08:14:17Z

Looks really really nice! :)

we can hide this action until the group is hovered

If there are no a11y issues with this, then this sounds great! This would be the ideal solution. Maybe @Pytal or @JuliaKirschenheuter could help with figuring out if showing the button only on hover is okay? :)

I'm not too sure about this as it's not really a link at all, and we rarely (if at all) use link styling to indicate other actions.

Hiding the action to reduce visual clutter sounds good but make sure that it is tabbable and visible when focused/hovered

Antreesy · 2023-08-03T10:34:30Z

@nimishavijay @marcoambrosini stylized toggle button asMessageButtonBar, which we have for normal message (with the same logic). Button is visible on hover, and in open state:

P.S. Updated screenshots in description

Looks really nice! :)

@ShGKme please take a look again - i've turned the utiil into composable

ShGKme

Tested manually in basic cases ✅

These components and grouping logic has many edge cases. IMO, we should cover it with tests.

+			<div v-for="messagesCollapsed of messagesGroupedBySystemMessage"

This component has many methods calls in template (that a called during the re-rendering) and those methods are not small utils or formatting methods but data processing methods.

It won't be a problem if it doesn't have unnecessary re-renderings, but currently MessagesList re-renders each new message.

For example, a user has a chat with mostly only calls, but large calls, for example, 100 people. Then in the history there will be many groups with 100 system messages about leaving the call. And every message, reaction, poll update will re-render the list with recalculating all these methods looping over 100 messages for each group.

IMO, we can keep it in this way but then do one of:

Find a reason of re-renderings

Refactor all these components, remove unnecessary props

Remove these calculating inside rendering

Wait for Vue 3 migration =D

Also, I'd prefer to use in in v-for directives to use only one style. (v-for of is not very often used in our components).

"of" is replaced with "in". Test coverage and components re-rendering moved to follow-up
