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.
With interfaceConfig.SHOW_CONTACTLIST_AVATARS, the avatars in the
contact list are too big and will overlap each other. Constrain
the avatar sizes and make each contact a little taller to better
space each out.
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.
