- Reintroduce cancellable scroll top on page change
- IndexPage: rely on browser to retain scroll position on page reload
- Remove obsolete browser hack
- Fix broken selector
- When on mobile, only retain scroll for IndexPage if we're coming from a discussion
- Move app.cache.scrollTop save into `onbeforeremove` so we make sure to do it before DOM is detached
Essentially, whenever a route is loaded, we add a key to that component. If the key changes, the page completely rerenders. Switching between different routes handled by the same key triggers those rerenders.
Let's stay consistent with previous behavior, and run these on "internal route change" (same component handles different route) as well as on initial render of a page component.
- 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.
* Update frontend to Mithril 2
- Update Mithril version to v2.0.4
- Add Typescript typings for Mithril
- Rename "props" to "attrs"; "initProps" to "initAttrs"; "m.prop" to "m.stream"; "m.withAttr" to "utils/withAttr".
- Use Mithril 2's new lifecycle hooks
- SubtreeRetainer has been rewritten to be more useful for the new system
- Utils for forcing page re-initializations have been added (force attr in links, setRouteWithForcedRefresh util)
- Other mechanical changes, following the upgrade guide
- Remove some of the custom stuff in our Component base class
- Introduce "fragments" for non-components that control their own DOM
- Remove Mithril patches, introduce a few new ones (route attrs in <a>;
- Redesign AlertManagerState `show` with 3 overloads: `show(children)`, `show(attrs, children)`, `show(componentClass, attrs, children)`
- The `affixedSidebar` util has been replaced with an `AffixedSidebar` component
Challenges:
- `children` and `tag` are now reserved, and can not be used as attr names
- Behavior of links to current page changed in Mithril. If moving to a page that is handled by the same component, the page component WILL NOT be re-initialized by default. Additional code to keep track of the current url is needed (See IndexPage, DiscussionPage, and UserPage for examples)
- Native Promise rejections are shown on console when not handled
- Instances of components can no longer be stored. The state pattern should be used instead.
