Now that comments and TOC can be closed at the same time, we use a flex
layout so the main content uses the available width.
We're also making the comments work better on medium-sized screens,
since previously they had a fixed width and now the width is adapted to
the size of the screen.
Since now the comment box element has a relative position instead of an
absolute one, we need to consider the draft panel height when
calculating the comment box position.
We were using JavaScript to show/hide the Table of Contents.
In my humble opinion, the <details> tag has a few shortcomings [1][2],
which means we should be careful about when to use it.
IMHO a Table of Contents is a good candidate for this tag because it's a
very common pattern to add a show/hide behavior for it, even if using it
means the "navigation" role (which we are *not* using anyway) wouldn't
be identified correctly.
I'm adding a <details> tag to the comments section as well for
consistency and in order to simplify the code. I'm not sure this is as
good an application of the <details> tag, though, but then again I'm not
sure about the interface we use to show/hide the comments (and this
feeling is increased by the fact that we use a different interface on
small screens). If we decide to change the interface in the future, we
might consider using the <details> tag for the Table of Contents but not
for the comments.
Since the <details> tag is not supported on Internet Explorer, I'm
only adding styles to this tag using the `:not([open])` option. On
Internet Explorer <details> will always be opened and so these styles
will be ignored.

We've had to add a couple of hacks in order to make jQuery UI datepicker
work with Turbolinks, and one of our tests is failing because the
datepicker changes its height when changing from a month with 5 weeks to
a month with 6 weeks.
We could add a workaround so the test still passes (jQuery UI doesn't
provide a configuration option to always displays 6 weeks in the
datepicker), but I think it's easier to just use the HTML5 native date
input field, which also allows us to simplify the code a bit and IMHO it
improves the user experience, particularly when using mobile phones.
Since date fields are not supported in Safari and Internet Explorer,
we're still using the jQuery UI datepicker on those browsers (and on any
other browser not supporting date fields).
Due to these changes, we're moving the tests checking datepicker's
behaviour to the dashboard. I've choosing not to change the public pages
because I'm not 100% sure everybody would like this change (some people
prefer the datepicker because we can configure the way it looks).
When Foundation initializes a page that has any sticky element, it
loads a window scroll listener into window object to handle the sticky
element positioning when scrolling. This works great until user moves
to a page without sticky elements and the window listeners remain
attached to the window object on this new page too when there is no
need to run the scrollListener and there is no sticky elements so the
window scroll listener cannot find the sticky object on that page a lot
of errors are thrown when user scrolls.
With this approach we are destroying sticky elements before leaving
the page which also remove the Sticky scrollListener from the window
object.
I do not know how to write a test to demonstrate this fix, but at least
there is some steps to reproduce this behavior:
0. Undo this commit
1. Go to any proposal page
2. Click on any link (with Turbolinks enabled)
3. Scroll the page
4. Check the console log. Yo will find as error occurrences as pixels you scrolled.
The JavaScript involved wasn't working since we removed the disable-date
attribute in commit 73ff6881.
We're also improving the JavaScript in two ways:
First, we trigger the `change` event immediately, so when the page loads
date fields are disabled when phases are disabled.
And second, we don't remove the selected dates when disabling a phase,
so disabling it and enabling it again will keep the selected values.
When a user recovers a page from browser history where placed a
marker in different map pane (visible map layer) marker was
successfully added to the map but the map center is the one
defined at Settings map properties so the marker was not visible
to the user.
Now when map_location form has valid coordinates we use them
instead of default map center settings. This will avoid the user to
have to rellocate the marker (or find the correct pane where the
marker was added) if already placed.
When using an editable map is better to load marker latitude, longitude and
map zoom from form fields so we can show the marker at latest position defined
by user when the page was restored from browser history.
To reproduce this behavior:
0. Undo this commit
1. Go to new proposal page
2. Place the proposal map marker
3. Go away to any other page
4. Restore new proposal page from browser history.
At this point you should not see the recently placed marker.
The same thing happens when editing a proposal.
If we do not do this a map could be initialized twice times or more
when restoring a page with a map causing weird UI effects and
loading some map layers also twice times or more.
Need to add a maps array to be able to store all initialized
(visible) maps so we can destroy them when needed. Notice that
we are destroying maps also when admin settings tabs changes
(only visible ones), this is again to avoid to re-initialize map more
than once when users navigate through settings tabs, another
option to the settings issue could be to detect if the map was
already initialized to skip uneeded initialization.
It was being duplicated when restoring a page by using browser
history. With this solution we will avoid to have screen readers
descriptions more than once inside any sociual share button.
We need to use page body event delegation so it will work with any
element even with the ones added through ajax, in this case the
annotation comments box form. By doing this way we do not need
this code on the server response anymore.
Furthermore JS events defined at ajax responses are not part of
application javascript and are lost when restoring a page from
browser cache, you can try to apply the same event delegation
technique to the `erb` file and it wont work just because events
added dinamically are not treated the same than `application.js`
code.
To reproduce the error:
1. Load an annotatable draft version
2. Move to any other page
3. Go back
Now "Publish comment" button wont work.
If we do not destroy annotator app before storing the page at
browser cache we will unnecesarily initialize annotations twice (or
more) duplicating Annotator HTML markup and causing
unexpected errors.
Without this commit you will find an error when restoring a page with
annotator, you can click on any annotation and you will see the annotation
comments are being loaded twice.
IMO this is an idempotency issue within Annotator JS library.
Patch extracted from here the comments on turbolinks issue 253 and
converted to vanilla javascript.
The hide action over datepickers ensures us that opened datepickers
will be closed before leving the page. Previously if you open any
datepicker and then move to previous page you will keep seeing the
datepicker in the restored page.
Turbolinks 5 handles page caching differently; it saves the current HTML
and, when the page is restored using the browser's back button, it
copies it and triggers the `turbolinks:load` event, which, in our case,
triggers our `initialize_modules` function.
This isn't a problem regarding event handlers, since they're removed
when caching the page (except fot the ones attached to the `document`).
However, it is a problem for functions that, once the document is ready,
scan the DOM and add certain elements. In this case, an element might be
added a second time when the page is restored.
So we need to either check an item has already been added before adding
it or remove it before caching the page. Since this is going to be a
common pattern, we're adding a function to handle these non-idempotent
parts of the application, so it mirrors our `initialize_modules`
function.
We're also moving the `destroy` function definition after the
`initialize` function definition, which makes more sense since we
initialize things before destroying them.
This is the reason why this feature was implemented in the first
place: it's easy to open the editor, make some changes, close it, and
continue without realizing the changes have not been saved.
In the rest of the forms, this functionality is quite lacking. For
starters, some forms warn if there are unsaved changes, while some forms
don't, which is highly inconsistent and disorients users.
Furthermore, we were having problems with this feature after upgrading
Turbolinks, particularly in forms using CKEditor. In these cases, a lot
of hacking needs to be done in order to make this feature work properly,
since CKEditor adds some formatting automatically, and if this is done
after the form is serialized, we'll get some unexpected behavior. On the
other hand, comparing the value of a textarea against its `defaultValue`
property will work on every edge case, including using the browser's
back button or reloading the page.
Finally, users are used to the way web forms work, and aren't used to be
asked for confirmation when they change their mind and decide to leave
the page without saving the changes. Asking them for confirmation will
be annoying in most cases. Besides that, if they accidentally leave the
page, they can use the browser's back button and they'll recover the
unsaved changes.
It's true this won't happen it they accidentally close the browser's
window, but our WatchFormChanges functionality didn't work in this case
either. Using the "beforeunload" event adds more problems than it
solves, since it doesn't support custom messages (or, to be more
precise, modern browsers ignore custom messages), and it doesn't get
along with turbolinks.

Turbolinks 5 doesn't follow the browser's standard behaviour of ignoring
links pointing to "#", so we're preventing the turbolinks events in this
situation:
We didn't upgrade Turbolinks when we upgraded to Rails 5 so we didn't
upgrade too many things at the same time, and postponed it... until now
:).
Note upgrading Turbolinks fixes an issue with foundation's sticky when
using the browser's back and forward buttons. We're adding tests for
these scenarios.

The `$()` function is a shortcut for `$(document).ready()`, and we were
attaching events to `$(document).ready()` inside the `$()` function.
In a similar way, we were handling the `page:load` and `ajax:complete`
events inside the `$()` function. But when those events trigger, the DOM
is already ready.
Besides, we don't have to wait for the DOM to be ready before attaching
events to the `document` element. Quoting jQuery's `.on()`
documentation:
> The document element is available in the head of the document before
> loading any other HTML, so it is safe to attach events there without
> waiting for the document to be ready.

In the past we had huge problems trying to make it work with Turbolinks.
However, after updating foundation-rails in commit 58071fd6, these hacks
aren't necessary anymore.
We're adding a test for the scenario of visiting a page using
Turbolinks, which was missing, so we're sure we aren't breaking
anything.
Note the sticky will still not work after using the browser back button.
We haven't been able to make it work with turbolinks-classic; we'll fix
this issue when upgrading turbolinks.
Its known that initializing a map when it is inside a hidden element
wont work when hidden element is shown, so its makes sense to
avoid initialization of hidden maps.
When a map lives within a hidden layer we need to initialize the
map after the event of showing that hidden layer, in our case when
admin settings tab is shown.
TableSortable and Sortable javascripts were using the same CSS
class name to define completely different and separated
behaviours causing unexpected errors. Now `sortable.js` script
will use `.sortable` class and `table_sortable.js` will use
`.table-sortable` instead.
We weren't using `foundation()` in these cases, so after flagging a
debate or a comment, we had to reload the page before we could unflag
it.
We're also adding a test for the fix in commit ea85059d. This test shows
it's necessary to filter the elements with JavaSctipt using `first()` if
we want the same code to work with comments.

When a user replies to a comment whose responses was hidden at the
moment of reply form submission and although the reply were correctly
added to the DOM it was hidden because was added to a collapsed list.
This solution is about showing all responses of parent comment after adding
the new comment to the DOM so the user can see new reply into the screen.
(This is not applicable to root comments which cannot be collapsed)
Extract the needed portion of code to a new partial to be able to update
only the elements needed when a new comment is added keeping UI properly
updated.
We were using a <ul> tag for a single comment, where the first element
of the list was the comment itself and the second element was the list
of replies.
IMHO it makes more sense to have a list of all comments, where every
element is a comment and inside it there's a list of replies.
We're also rendering the list even if it has no children so it's easier
to add comments through JavaScript. Then we use the :empty CSS selector
to hide the list if it's empty. However, since ERB adds whitespace if we
structure our code the usual way and current browsers don't recognize
elements with whitespace as empty, we have to use the `tag` helper so no
whitespace is added.
Tests are also a bit easier to read, even though we need to use the
`text:` option to find links because otherwise the text in the hidden
`<span>` tags will cause `click_link` to miss the link we want to click.
Here's an explanation by one of Capybara's authors:

When a page with ckeditor is restored from browser cache by using browser
history back feature application was trying to re-initialize it but this was
throwing some javascript errors that left ckeditor useless. The ckeditor user
interface seemed to be loaded correctly but editor contents was not shown
and ckeditor locked.
This solution is about destroying all ckeditor instances on page before
leaving it and force the reinitialization after Turbolinks restored the cache.
Inspiration here [1].
There is a similar patch to make it work with Turbolinks 5.x versions [2].

We were calling initialize_modules after every ajax call only to apply the
application javascript to new elements added though ajax calls, this is not
always needed because some ajax calls do not add new elements to the user
interface so there is no new elements to initialize. This technique was working
fine in most cases but was causing different kind of problems at some pages where
some elements where being unnecessarily reinitiliazed causing the execution of the
element associated scripts as many times as the element was initialized. This fix
should relief a little bit of work to users browsers.
After this change we had to fix some pieces of javascript:
Regarding LegistationAnnotatable module, since we are not re-initializing Annotator
app we cannot destroy it so now we only need to insert the new annotation into annotator
interface to keep it properly updated.
Regarding Comments module, we do not need anymore the initialization check because this
code only will be fired once now we do not launch application initialization after ajax
calls. Also, when a new comment is created its added to the DOM through AJAX and include
some elements that needs javascript initialization to work. By using
"Delegated event handlers" [1] new comments will be initialized automatically when added.
