There are (at least) two changes that are breaking:
- defaultTab is gone
- The re-rendering logic looks to have been re-written so that
passing in a new array of tabs causes a re-render, which can
reset the currently selected tab.
The fixes involved removing defaultTab from each tab configuration,
as it is no longer respected anyway. Also, instead of letting Tabs
be uncontrolled and allowing it to set its own selected, which
would result in the first tab automatically being selected on
Tabs re-render, use Tabs a controlled prop to dicate which
tab is selected; this is accomplished by specifying a selected
prop.
* feat(welcome-page): be able to open settings dialog
- Create a getter for getting a settings tab's props so the device
selection tab can get updated available devices.
- Be able to call a function from a tab after it has mounted. This is
used for device selection to essentially call enumerateDevices on
the welcome page so the device selectors are populated.
- Remove event UIEvents.AUDIO_OUTPUT_DEVICE_CHANGED. Instead directly call
setAudioOutputDeviceId where possible.
- Fix initialization of the audioOutputDeviceId in settings by defaulting
the audio output device to the one set in settings.
* squash: updateAvailableDevices -> getAvailableDevices, add comment for propsUpdateFunction
* fix(welcome-page): css tweaks in prep for branded welcome page
- Watermarks should no longer depend on toolbar size. The left watermark made
room for the toolbar when the toolbar was on the left side of the screen, but
the toolbar has been moved to the bottom. The right watermark...well it'll
clash with the vertical filmstrip but at least the margins will be consistent
with the left watermark.
- Apply new font-family so fonts are more likely to be consistent across the
app. Design likes SF UI and keeps requesting it so use it by default.
- Change sizings of welcome page header to be more responsive. This will help
the header be scrollable when there is no additional content and the header
overflows.
- Change colors of the welcome page header and remove background image that
was in the header. Leave in the dom for the background image in case other
deployments need to continue showing an image.
- Add a period to the title of the welcome page.
- Move watermarks dom location as it is not part of the header; it's part of the
whole page.
* [squash] Size and font adjustments. Renaming.
It will only be requested if a user joins a meeting or flips the switch from
video to audio and back, but never as the first thing when the welcome page is
mounted.
BaseApp does all the heavy-lifting related to creating the redux store,
navigation, and so on.
App currently handles URL props and actually triggering navigation based on
them.
Unfortunately, as the Jitsi Meet development evolved the routing mechanism
became more complex and thre logic ended up spread across multiple parts of the
codebase, which made it hard to follow and extend.
This change aims to fix that by rewriting the routing logic and centralizing it
in (pretty much) a single place, with no implicit inter-dependencies.
In order to arrive there, however, some extra changes were needed, which were
not caught early enough and are thus part of this change:
- JitsiMeetJS initialization is now synchronous: there is nothing async about
it, and the only async requirement (Temasys support) was lifted. See [0].
- WebRTC support can be detected early: building on top of the above, WebRTC
support can now be detected immediately, so take advantage of this to simplify
how we handle unsupported browsers. See [0].
The new router takes decissions based on the Redux state at the time of
invocation. A route can be represented by either a component or a URl reference,
with the latter taking precedence. On mobile, obviously, there is no concept of
URL reference so routing is based solely on components.

As part of the work on fixing the problem with the multiplying
thumbnails, we've associated remote participant w/ JitsiConference.
However, there are periods of time when multiple JitsiConferences are in
the redux state (and that period is going to be shorted by
StateListenerRegistry). In order to give more control to the feature
base/participants, reduce the occurrences of direct access to the
features/base/participants redux state and utilize the feature's
existing read access functions. Which will allow us in the future to
enhance these functions to access participants which are relevant to the
current conference of interest to the user only.
If multiple JitsiMeetView instances are created (not necessarily
existing at once), it's possible to hit a TypeError when reading the
React Component props of the currently mounted App. Anyway, in certain
places we're already protecting against that out of abundance of caution
so it makes no sense to not protect everywhere.
In order to be able to add analytics to the deep-linking pages the
lib-jitsi-meet initialization has been moved so it happens earlier.
The introduced `initPromise` will eventually disappear, once conference is
migrated into React and / or support for Temasys is dropped. At that stage, it
can be turned into a sync function which all platforms share.

Improve the experience when joining a room by removing the need to tap the join
button. The keyboard type has also been set to "go", which translated on the
builtin keyboard button label to be "go" (it's builtin, the operating system
translates it). This works on both Android and iOS.
ESLint 4.8.0 discovers a lot of error related to formatting. While I
tried to fix as many of them as possible, a portion of them actually go
against our coding style. In such a case, I've disabled the indent rule
which effectively leaves it as it was before ESLint 4.8.0.
Additionally, remove jshint because it's becoming a nuisance with its
lack of understanding of ES2015+.
* Javadoc introduced @code as a replacement of <code> and <tt> which is
better aligned with other javadoc tags such as @link. Use it in the
Java source code. If we switch to Kotlin, then we'll definitely use
Markdown.
* There are more uses of @code in the JavaScript source code than <tt>
so use @code for the sake of consistency. Eventually, I'd rather we
switch to Markdown because it's easier on my eyes.
* Xcode is plain confused by @code and @link. The Internet says that
Xcode supports the backquote character to denote the beginning and end
of a string of characters which should be formatted for display as
code but it doesn't work for me. <tt> is not rendered at all. So use
the backquote which is rendered itself. Hopefully, if we switch to
Markdown, then it'll be common between JavaScript and Objective-C
source code.
It will replace the "Join" text button while appNavigate lasts.
Note about the implementation: when appNavigate completes the component
may have been unmounted and thus we cannot touch its state. In order to
avoid this problem I added a 'mounted' instance variable which gets set
and reset in componentWillMount / Unmount respectively. This is to avoid
using isMounted, which is highly discouraged.
Implement a React Component which displays children as an overlay of
local video. The WelcomePage implemented such a component inside of it
among other WelcomePage-specific logic so I split
LocalVideoTrackUnderlay out of it. The new Component is used on the
BlankPage which may be displayed in the future not only when the
WelcomePage is disabled but also when there are long running network
requests, for example.
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.
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.
Introduce certain React Components which may be used to write
cross-platform source code such as Audio like Web's audio, Container
like Web's div, Text like Web's p, etc.
Over time features/base/util became a bucket where people seemed to dump
just about anything they couldn't think of a better place for. That's a
trend I don't like encouraging. Given that roomnameGenerator.js is
currently used in features/welcome only, I'm fine with moving it there
for the greater good.
Looks like Android gets confused as to what surface to blit when we hide or
show toolbars. Setting a border on the container, seems to force the entire
area to blit properly.
Other attempted approaches, with no success:
- zIndex of -100
- width and height of 0
- opacity of 0 and setting 'disabled' on touch containers
This patch applies the workaround in the welcome page and conference containers.
Recently, we reimplemented the Welcome page in React. Unfortunately, we
broke the checkbox that enables/disables the Welcome page and it would
allow checking but wouldn't allow unchecking.
Recently, we reimplemented the watermarks in React. Unfortunately, we
didn't take into account film strip-only mode.
Additionally, we duplicated watermark-related source code on the Welcome
and Conference pages.
