When search bar is empty and we've reached that state
by using the `backspace` key. There are no suggestions
as there are when you select an empty search bar.
The cause of this was an explicit prevention of this
suggestion box in `typeahead.js` so that the
`backspace` key is free to interact with the other
elements.
The fix here is to add an optional `hideOnEmpty` option
so that if we want this suggestion box to appear we can
set this option to `false` and this behavior will be
prevented.
This option is enabled for the search input when pills are not
enabled.
Fixes: #25062.
Previously the typeahead container was being created at the bottom
of `body`, and its width (and `top` and `left`) were being set to
move it to the right position.
Now it sits in the search box container, which gives it the correct
position and width by default. This is better for DOM readability,
and is also better for the new 100% width (which is part of the
search bar redesign) because it can change width more smoothly
with the search bar when the page changes width.
This commit adds custom functionality to the bootstrap typeahead
to allow the typehead to be placed in the search box container
(whereas previously, it could only be appended to `body`).
Until now, the typeahead was hidden on clicking outside only if the last
click was not on the header. This happened because clicking the header would
blur the input, and any other click then would not trigger the blur event
(which is responsible for hiding the typeahead).
Now we refocus the input after clicking the header, so that clicking
elsewhere blurs the input and hides the typeahead.
Previously, there is a bug where the position of the typeahead is off
whenever the user switches from stream typeahead to topic typeahead
in the compose box. The typeahead header was not hidden before
calculation of the position based on container height. These changes
will include the header before calculating for the position.
Removed a redundant call to bootstrap typeahead's `lookup` function when
the `automated` function returns true, which was causing the streams
typeahead to show up briefly before the topic typeahead on pressing `>`
immediately after a stream name.
Ever since we started bundling the app with webpack, there’s been less
and less overlap between our ‘static’ directory (files belonging to
the frontend app) and Django’s interpretation of the ‘static’
directory (files served directly to the web).
Split the app out to its own ‘web’ directory outside of ‘static’, and
remove all the custom collectstatic --ignore rules. This makes it
much clearer what’s actually being served to the web, and what’s being
bundled by webpack. It also shrinks the release tarball by 3%.
