It's built on top of React Native's AsyncStorage. They have differing APIs, so
we implement a synchronous API on top of an asynchronous one. This is done by
being optimistic and hoping that operations will happen asynchronously. If one
such operation fails, the error is ignored and life goes on, since operations
are performed in the in-memory cache first.
Note to reviewers: LocalStorage.js lacks Flow annotations because indexable
class declarations are not yet supported:
https://github.com/facebook/flow/issues/1323 and yours truly couldn't find a way
to make the required syntax work without making it unnecessarily complex.
This patch loads the config later than we used to, that is, only once we
know the room the user is about to join.
Due to architectural limitations in lib-jitsi-meet, it needs to be
initialized with a configuration in order to properly function. This is
unfortunate because we need to create a video track in the welcome page,
but don't know the room (hence no config) yet. In order to circumvent
this problem an empty configuration is used, which is later swapped with
the appropriate one, once loaded.
Some interesting side-effects of this change are a perceived speed
increase when the app starts or a conference is hangup. They are both
due to the fact that no config needs to be fetched from a remote server
in those cases.
In order to load the configuration from the shard that will actually
host the conference, it's imperative that we add the room= query
parameter:
https://meet.jit.si/config.js?room=example
This implies a departure from our current model, where the config is
discarded if the domain for the next conference is different, but kept
otherwise.
* feat(filmstrip): show thumbnails with toolbar and on hover
* squash: reduce verbosity of logic for when to display
* squash: remove check for fake participant
Before fake participant (youtube video) would make the filmstrip
always displayed. However, youtube videos already dock the
toolbar, so filmstrip will remain displayed, so the check is
redundant.
* squash: change mouse hover listener targets
* feat(analytics): move to React
The analytics handlers have been moved to JitsiMeetGlobalNS, so now they are
stored in `window.JitsiMeetJS.app.analyticsHandlers`.
The analytics handlers are re-downloaded and re-initialized on every
lib-jitsi-meet initialization, which happens every time the config is changed
(moving between deployments in the mobile app).
* Adds legacy support for old analytics location.
We have already made the implicit decision not to pursue what the
comment describes. If we ever revisit it, it probably won't be handled
where the comment is anyway.
The torture tests were looking for the anchor tag within each
button. However, that anchor could get blown away from a react
re-render. So instead, expose a way for the torture tests
to find the root node of the button.
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).
