changed in it
the comments.html template (along with submission.html) has numerous
undesirable properties which i will describe now. unless you are very
familiar with the codebase, it can be extremely difficult to grok.
this is pretty insane as there is nothing fundamentally complex about
the goal of comments.html: return a component that shows a username
and info, reports if any, comment content, and actions a user can
take.
this behemeoth was initially 886 lines in the old version of this
codebase, and this is with awards and a lot of other cruft removed.
anyway, the maintainability of this file is about on par with some
legacy application that keels over and dies if you sneeze vaguely
in its direction.
the nicest thing i can say about it is that it isn't currently
crashing.
anyway some of the problems include:
* large, splittable components, are not split into separate files.
this makes it incredibly difficult to find or make changes across
the template and makes it nearly impossible to find or change a
specific thing.
this is most easily exemplified in the modals, which should by all
accounts be separate templates, just inlined into comments.html.
* the nesting is oftentimes incorrect.
inexplicably, probably out of laziness from when the code was first
written, things will end up fully left aligned, while multiple layers
deep into a nesting context.
if an if statement or an endif is changed, it is *incredibly*
difficult to figure out where the error was. you can't trust the
nesting.
* multiple repeated checks for things that are always true.
this is probably a symptom of the above two problems but it's very
noticeable once you fix the nesting. for example there is a block
near the very top of the actions bar which checks for
parent_submission which effectively checks "is this in a post" (this
commit won't complain about parent_submission checks but i do have
opinions on those).
all of the action buttons further down the chain also check for
parent_submission, or even check inconsistently (by using if c.post)
within this context this is a completely unnecessary check in this
context.
while it is potentially useful (and in fact because #251 requires we
dismantle the assumption a little bit) to have these checks now, the
fact that they were initially added shows that when the code was all
initial written, there was little care into thinking about comment
state.
* mobile actions are duplicated and duplicated inline.
i actually do find it probably pretty hard to support this normally
given the codebase's DOM so whatever, duplicate the things, *but* if
we're going to do that, inlining it into the middle of an incredibly
long template is really difficult to comprehend as a design decision.
...anyway yeah this PR intends to fix these problems and enable work
to be done on #251. this is a "perfect is the enemy of good" commit.
it doesn't change much fundamental and is not intended to erase the
sins of the original file, but at least make it maintainable.
this also fixes a minor bug with #473 where the GIF modal was left
in by accident.
these functions i don't believe exist upstream and i guess were to
diagnose an issue with author_ids not being saved properly. anyway not
really useful now as if an author_id doesn't exist, some major db
corruption has prolly already happened.
Bug accidentally introduced with 70c8a942b6, when a removed clause
in Comment.collapse_for_user was treated as always True, rather than
as always False--which would've removed this entire line, as this
commit does now.
Original intent of the logic was for auto-collapsing game comments
like blackjack and slots that necessarily entailed somewhat spammy
commenting behavior.
Due to use of Submission.{choices, options, bet_options} in realbody,
generating submission_listings resulted in extremely high volume of
SELECT queries.
In local testing with 6 posts, one of which had a poll with 2 options,
the removal of these calls reduced quantity of queries on the homepage
from 84 to 22.
Given that it was previously decided to remove the polls feature after
a regression while adding comment filtering, the remaining dead code
paths for polls were also removed.
Given that coins are not visible in many contexts, the conspicuous
appearance of treasure chests (random coin rewards on 1% of comments)
seems out of place. This removes the logic which rewards treasure,
the visible display of treasure, and drops the column containing
treasure information which has already been awarded to at least one
comment on prod.
In four contexts, Comment.replies(.) was not updated to reflect the
interface changes with comment filtering. This directly caused #170
and #172 (which was a stack trace from the former).
- Updating notifications for DMs (routes/users.py L690)
- Updating notifications for modmail (routes/users.py L729)
- morecomments for logged out users (routes/posts.py L421)
- JSON for API access (classes/comment.py L347)
All four contexts seem to behave correctly after the change. However,
strictly speaking the JSON generation will not include a user's own
filtered or removed comments, though this is hard to remedy without
passing the user object `v` to json_core. Propagating that through the
codebase seems a worse option than leaving it as is.
