- Ensure that the discussion list is cleared before it is updated with fetched results
- Rename `clear` to `deferClear`, improve documentation to make its purpose clearer.
- Call onNewRoute when page changed with same component in DiscussionPage and UserPage
- Make app.previous and app.current changed in onNewRoute, not in oninit. This way, when the route is changed, but still handled by the same component, a new PageState object will still be created.
While more pleasant from an FSM standpoint, comparing the current targetPost to the previous one does not work if goToNumber is called twice in a row for the same post. For instance, if a user clicks the mentions link to a post twice, the post stream breaks.
In some cases, such as if we've stickied a post, an event post
may have been added / removed.This means that `this.visibleEnd`
and`this.count()` will be out of sync by 1 post, but we are still
"viewing the end" of the post stream, so we should still reload
all posts up until the last one.
Because the Slidable class was always added on creation, it was lost every time the class list changed (in this case when the discussion was hidden/unhidden which added/removed DiscussionListItem--hidden class). So by determining the Slidable class's presence in elementAttrs() method, it guarantees it always properly set.
While seemingly correct, an onremove method in Modal that triggers animateHide is problematic, because if one modal is opened from another, the one currently open will be removed from the DOM, triggering animateHide, and closing the new modal.
To compensate, an onupdate method now closes a modal if one is open but shouldn't be; this supports the functionality of the old method when the modal is closed not from the modal instance itself (e.g. app.modal.close())
This is not ideal, but necessary. We should consider eventually expanding the modal system to support showing multiple modals at the same time (stacked over each other). Then, we can move this back to individual modals.
When the page is scrolled, goToIndex is called, or the page is loaded,
various listeners result in the scrubber being updated with a new
position and values. However, if goToNumber is called, the scrubber
will not be updated. Accordingly, we add logic to the scrubber's
onupdate to update itself, but only when needed, as indicated by this
This saves us a LOT of unnecessary calls, and makes scrubber movement smoother.
