I'm not saying that the two commits in question were wrong or worse than
what I'm offering. Anyway, I think what I'm offering brings:
* Compliance with expectations i.e. the middleware doesn't compute the
next state from the current state, the reducer does;
* Clarity and/or simplicity i.e. there's no global variable (reqIndex),
there's no need for the term "index" (a.k.a "reqIndex") in the redux
store.
* By renaming net-interceptor to network-activity feels like it's
preparing the feature to implement a NetworkActivityIndicator React
Component which will take on more of the knowledge about the specifics
of what is the network activity redux state exactly, is it maintained by
interception or some other mechanism, and abstracts it in the feature
itself allowing outsiders to merely render a React Component.
Works only for XHR requests, which is the only network request mobile performs
(WebRTC traffic aside). The fetch API is implemented on top of XHR, so that's
covered too.
Requests are kept in the redux store until they complete, at which point they
are removed.
* ref(1-on-1): move remote visibility to a selector
Derive whether or not remote videos should display using a selector
to look across different states. A selector was chosen over using
memoized selectors (reselect) or subscribers as a first step
approach, avoiding additional mutations caused by a subscriber
updating the filmstrip state and avoiding additional api overhead
introduced by reselect.
* rename selector
* ref(recording): convert recording label to react
- Create a RecordingLabel component for displaying the current
recording state, as reflected in the redux store. This is
needed for 1-on-1 mode to be completely in redux.
- Update the store with the recording state so RecordingLabel
can update itself.
- Remove previous logic for updating the non-react label, which
includes event emitting for filmstrip visibility changes,
as RecordingLabel is hooked into redux updates.
* ref(recording): use status and type constants from lib
* make label really dumb, move logic back to Recording
Create empty elements within InlineDialog content that can be
used to bridge mouse movement from the InlineDialog trigger to
the InlineDialog content. The empty elements are positioned
absolute so they can break out of the InlineDialog container
and not affect popper's position calculations.
I see it as the first step in simplifying the route navigate of the
JavaScript app by removing BlankWelcomePage from _getRouteToRender. From
a faraway point of view, the app is at the route at which it is not in a
conference. Historically, the route was known as the Welcome page. But
mobile complicated the route by saying that actually it may not want to
see the room name input and join button.
Additionally, I renamed BlankWelcomePage to BlankPage because I don't
think of it as a WelcomePage alternative but rather as a more generic
BlankPage which may be utilized elsewhere in the future.
I plan for the next steps to:
* Merge Entryway, _interceptComponent, and _getRouteToRender in one
React Component rendered by AbstractApp so that the whole logic is in
one file;
* Get rid of RouteRegistry and routes.
When do we need tracks?
- Welcome page (only the video track)
- Conference (depends if starting with audio / video muted is requested)
When do we need to destroy the tracks?
- When we are not in a conference and there is no welcome page
In order to accommodate all the above use cases, a new component is introduced:
BlankWelcomePage. Its purpose is to take the place of the welcome page when it
is disabled. When this component is mounted local tracks are destroyed.
Analogously, a video track is created when the (real) welcome page is created,
and all the desired tracks are created then the Conference component is created.
What are desired tracks? These are the tracks we'd like to use for the
conference that is about to happen. By default both audio and video are desired.
It's possible, however, the user requested to start the call with no
video/audio, in which case it's muted in base/media and a track is not created.
The first time the app starts (with the welcome page) it will request permission
for video only, since there is no need for audio in the welcome page. Later,
when a conference is joined permission for audio will be requested when an audio
track is to be created. The audio track is not destroyed when the conference
ends. Yours truly thinks this is not needed since it's a stopped track which is
not using system resources.
Iterate over objects and copy over primitives and arrays
instead of using _.merge, as merge will not replace a config
entry completely. For arrays in a target object, the arrays
will have its indices replaced. This means if a source array
is empty, the target array will be left alone. Similarly,
if the target array is longer than a source array, there
will be indices not touched in the target array.
* ref: video muted state
Get rid of 'videoMuted' flag in conference.js
* ref: audio muted state
Get rid of 'audioMuted' flag in conference.js
* fix(conference.js|API): early audio/video muted updates
* ref(conference.js): rename isVideoMuted
Rename isVideoMuted to isLocalVideoMuted to be consistent with
isLocalAudioMuted.
* doc|style(conference.js): comments and space after if
* ref: move 'setTrackMuted' to functions
* fix(tracks/middleware): no-lonely-if
* ref(features/toolbox): get rid of last argument
* ref(defaultToolbarButtons): rename var
- Remove non-redux paths for hiding and showing remote videos.
- Hook web filmstrip to redux to know when to hide remote videos.
This works, even though VideoLayout is handling RemoteVideo
appending, because react is only monitoring filmstrip's declared
JSX which does not change except for attributes (css classes).
Deep/universal linking now utilizes loadURL (when possible). But loadURL
is imperative in the native source code while its JavaScript counterpart
i.e. React App Component prop url is declarative. So there's the
following bug: open a URL, leave the conference (by tapping the hangup
button, for example), and then opening the same URL actually leaves you
on the Welcome page (if enabled; otherwise, a black screen).
The implementation has a flow though: opening the same URL twice in a
row without an intervening leave will leave the first opening and join
the new opening. Which can be improved by not leaving and joining if the
conference is joined, joining, an not leaving. But that can be done
separately as an improvement independent of the current implementation
details.
As https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/typechecking-with-proptypes.html
says, React.PropTypes have moved into the npm package prop-types since
React v15.5. I've already failed to update certain devDependencies
because they mandate the use of prop-types so I'd rather we (gradually
at least) move to prop-types rather than face a lot of work later on.
* fix(quality-slider): prevent resizing by making p2p warning hidden
Instead of removing and appending the p2p warning, make it always
appended but toggle visibility so it always takes up space. This
should prevent resizing when the warning appears. Margin and
padding were adjusted to account for the empty space displayed
by a hidden p2p warning.
* let vertical size change
* ref(invite): use AtlasKit for invite modal buttons and inputs
- Convert button to AK Button.
- Convert inputs to AK FieldText.
* remove noop, replace with custom empty func
* feat(small-video): use InlineDialog for stats and remote menu
- Remove JitsiPopover and use InlineDialog instead.
- Bring the remote menu icon into react.
- Make vertical filmstrip position:fixed so popper (AtlasKit
dependency) sets InlineDialogs and eventually tooltips to
position:fixed.
* ref(remote-menu): hook KickButton to redux
* ref(remote-menu): hook MuteButton to redux
* modify padding, toggle dialogs
* pixel push margins to align dialogs, adjust padding of dialogs
* add comment about margin for dialog, add file I forgot
* modify indicator markup so the icon can be moved down while trigger stays at top of toolbar
