Initial structure for MainModule containing ChatSectionModule and
CommunitySectionModule is added, as well as initial structure for
StartupModule containing OnboardingModule and LoginModule.
Order of execution is updated and adapted to the current app state.
Main module gets loaded once a user is successfully logged in.
Turns out we've been accidentally resetting the channel's `position`
property to `0` by not sending it over to status-lib's underlying
`editCommunityChat` API.
This fixes it by using a newer version of status-lib which supports
the `position` paramter in `editCommunityChat` and then sending that
value along from the edit channel popup.

Wallet2 needs its own event otherwise they wallet1/2 mixes
and as not everything is implemented in wallet2, it crashes
In this particular case, the account is added into wallet1 but trigger
an event intercepted by wallet2, wallet2 doesn't have the new account
and crash
Fixes: #3473.
Sometimes when blocking users and changes channels, blocked user messages would still appear.
This PR fixes the issue by toggling a `hide` property on messages from a contact when that contact is blocked or unblocked. Previously, the messages were only removed from the view when the contact was blocked, but when the view was reloaded, that state was not tracked correctly.
In case clicked channel:
- exists in a community -> the app will switch you to it
- doesn't exist in a community, but exists in the public chat list -> the app
will switch to `Chat` section and also to the appropriate channel there
- doesn't exist in a community and doesn't exist in the public chat list -> the app
will switch to `Chat` section and join new channel
Fixes: #3489
This feature works for MacOs only, for now.
On login, whether new or already created user may select between options:
"Store" - store password to the Keychain
"Not now" - don't store it now, but ask next time again
"Never" - don't store them ever and don't ask again
Selected preference may be changed later in:
`ProfileSettings > Privacy and security > Store pass to Keychain`
On the next app run, if `Store` was selected, a user will be asked to confirm
his identity using Touch Id in order to log in the app. If any error happens
he will be able to login using password.
Fixes: #2675
From now on we are able to access local settings (settings and global settings)
on the nim side, not only through the qml.
This change is required as part of the feature issue-2675.
App is responsive to the OS theme change event.
Now we're following system set theme when the app is started.
Corresponding part on the side on nimqml is added.
Corresponding part on the side on dotherside is added.
On the side of dother side we had kind of a memory leak, cause objects added to
the filter were not deleted ever. When the app is closing, it just removes
filters, but doesn't delete them.
I faced a logical issue, that we were sending qmlengine pointer to the
installEventFilter method, instead object which may or may not rely on the
qqmlengine instance, that is fixed also.

Fix a typo in a recently added header file in DOtherSide that causes problems
on case-sensitive filesystems, e.g. on Linux.
Also unify the build command for DOtherSide across platforms.
Prior to this commit, loaded channels and chats would always be
sorted by date of last message received, with the latest one being
moved to the top of the list.
When new channels or chats are joined, they are added on top of the
list as well, however, when the application is restarted,
those new joined chats would not necessarily show up at the top anymore
becaue nothing keeps track of when a channel was joined, which should
be taken into account when preserving the order.
The changes introduced in this commit solve this by introducing a
new `joined` property on the `Chat` type which gets updated with
the current timestamp whenever a channel is joined.
It also depends on the changes made to the `status-go` client, which
have to land first: https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/2158Closes: #1832

In the repo:
```
$ bin/nim_status_client --help
```
In the packaged app (macOS example):
```
$ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./nim_status_client --help
```
Output:
```
Usage:
nim_status_client [OPTIONS]...
The following options are available:
-d, --dataDir Status Desktop data directory.
```
**Using the option**
```
$ cd ~/status-ci-builds/master/Status.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./nim_status_client --dataDir:"${HOME}/status-dirs/master"
```
In another terminal:
```
$ cd ~/status-ci-builds/PR-4242/Status.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./nim_status_client --dataDir:"${HOME}/status-dirs/PR-4242"
```
The path supplied can be relative or absolute, and can be specified with
`--dataDir:[path]`, `--dataDir=[path]`, `-d:[path]`, or `-d=[path]`.
Either `:` or `=` must be used, i.e. this *will not* work: `--dataDir [path]`
or `-d [path]`.
The name of the option follows Nim's partial case-insensitivity rules, so
`--dataDir`, `--datadir`, and `--data_dir` are all equivalent. See
[Identifier equality][ieq] in the Nim Manual.
It is possible to run the same build in multiple terminals by supplying
different `--dataDir`, i.e. this works:
```
$ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./nim_status_client --dataDir="${HOME}/temp/some1"
```
In another terminal:
```
$ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./nim_status_client --dataDir="${HOME}/temp/some2"
```
**Windows**
It is recommended to use a Git Bash or MSYS2 terminal when invoking
`bin/nim_status_client.exe` (development build) or `bin/Status.exe` (production
build) on the command-line. The reason is that if the exe is invoked in a
session of `cmd.exe` it will return to the prompt immediately; the app will run
but there will be no output in the terminal. In any case, the `--dataDir`
option will take effect whether the exe is invoked in `cmd.exe` or a
recommended terminal.
For development builds, when invoking `bin/nim_status_client.exe` directly
instead of via `make run`, because e.g. you wish to use the `--dataDir` option,
it is required to first setup the `PATH` environment variable correctly. See
the `run-windows` target in this repo's Makefile for more information.
**Linux**
The `--dataDir` option may be passed to command-line invocation of a
production (AppImage) build in the same way as passing it to a development
build:
```
$ Status.AppImage --dataDir:/path/to/wherever
```
For development builds, when invoking `bin/nim_status_client` directly instead
of via `make run`, because e.g. you wish to use the `--dataDir` option, it is
required to setup the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable correctly. See the
`run-linux` target in this repo's Makefile for more information.

BREAKING CHANGE: The `qt` subdir of the app's data directory is now a sibling
of the status-go directory rather than a subdir of the status-go directory:
```
Status (app data directory)
├── data (status-go directory)
├── qt
└── tmp
```
Because app settings are stored in the `qt` directory that means that existing
installations will lose their customized settings.
At app startup, it would be possible to detect `Status/data/qt` and if
`Status/qt` doesn't exist yet then copy `Status/data/qt` to
`Status/qt`. However, there was some concern that behavior could lead to
problems later on if we forget the workaround is in place. So for now that
settings preservation strategy has not been implemented, but it might be before
this commit is merged pending full team awareness/consensus.

Command-line option support is provided by
[nim-confutils](https://github.com/status-im/nim-confutils).
The environment variable `NIM_STATUS_CLIENT_DEV` has been removed in favor of
passing a "define" option to the Nim compiler: `-d:development` for development
builds (e.g. `make V=1`) and `-d:production` for packaged builds (e.g. `make
V=1 pkg`). Passing the correct option is handled automatically by the Makefile.
A make variable named `RELEASE` has been introduced, which defaults to
`false`. Presently the `RELEASE` variable should not be set on the command-line
nor in CI as more work needs to be done to toggle the proper compiler flags. In
the case of Status Desktop, "release vs. debug" is a concern orthogonal to
"production vs. development". At present, production builds and development
builds are all debug builds, but that will likely change in the future: we can
have non-release CI production builds and local development builds be debug
builds, while release builds in CI would be production builds with
`RELEASE=true` (the compiled executable will be fully optimized).
Prior to the changes in this PR, symmetry is somewhat lacking between
development and production (packaged) builds with respect to the concept of the
"data directory". In development builds the root of the repo effectively serves
as the `Status` directory used by production builds, e.g. on macOS
`~/Library/Application Support/Status`. Also, there's a bit of confusion as to
whether "data directory" refers to a directory for the desktop app's overall
data (including status-go data) or to the specific directory used by status-go.
This PR attempts to provide symmetry and reduce confusion:
* The term "data directory" means the directory used by the desktop app to
store multiple kinds of data and is not a reference to the subdirectory used by
status-go.
* For development builds the "data directory" defaults to `./Status/` relative
to the root of the repo.
* For production builds the "data directory" default is the same as before,
e.g. on macOS it's ` ~/Library/Application Support/Status/`.
The directory used by status-go is `Status/data/`. To be clear, that should be
referred to as the "status-go directory" and not the app's "data directory". It
would nice if we could rename it from `Status/data/` to `Status/status-go/`. We
can do that, I already checked that it works correctly; however, for existing
installations it would require that at app launch we check for the presence of
`Status/data/` and rename it to `Status/status-go`. While simple enough to do,
I was concerned that there might be edge cases where the directory rename could
cause a problem (e.g. if another copy of the app is running) so chose for now
to stick with the status-go directory being `Status/data/`.
---
**NOTES**
More work needs to be done to ensure that all data written by the app is
contained in the default or cli-specified data directory. Currently, both
development and production (packaged) builds are writing to common directories
outside of the data directory, e.g. located within `~/Library/` on
macOS. Changing that behavior seems like it will mainly involve changing
defaults related to Qt components such as the web engine. See:
https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/issues/1141.
In general, additional refactoring could be done in the future. For
example, implementing `StatusDesktopConfig` in
`src/status/libstatus/accounts/constants.nim` (as done in this PR) works fine
for now, but better code organization is desirable.

Closes#2268

Bump dotherside to a commit that is on its current master branch. The previous commit and the current commit have the same contents, however the previous commit lived on a branch, and not on the master branch of dotherside.
An attempt to bump nimqml to its master branch commit resulted in an error, which has been logged https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/issues/2275. Instead, the commit change here is the same as dotherside — moving the commit hash from its branched version to the commit that lives on the master branch line. However, as mentioned already, it is not at master HEAD due to the error.
The `TaskManager` threadpool is a memory-safe replacement for the `spawnAndSend` operations that are currently causing memory issues in status-desktop.
From a fundamental memory management point of view, `libstatus/settings`, `libstatus/contracts`, and `libstatus/tokens` (custom tokens) have all been converted to `{.threadvar.}`s and `Atomic[bool]`s to maintain the cache and `dirty` flag across threads, respectively, eliminating the need for thread locks and incorrect `{.gcsafe.}` compiler overrides.
The successful [recyclable threadpool experiment from `nim-task-runner`](https://github.com/status-im/nim-task-runner/blob/test/use-cases/test/use_cases/test_sync.nim) using `AsyncChannel[ThreadSafeString]`s was brought over to `status-desktop` and implemented in somewhat of a hardcoded manner, as we knew this would save some time instead of trying to create a fully fleshed out `nim-task-runner` API and build a miraculous macro that may or may not be able to generate the needed API.
The threadpool is started by the `TaskManager` and both the `TaskManager` and the `TaskManager`'s threadpool are started as early as possible in the application lifecycle (in `nim_status_client.nim`). The `TaskManager` creates a thread to run the threadpool. During its initialization, the threadpool then spools up all the threads it will manage and puts them in an idle thread sequence. This is to prevent expensive thread creation and teardown happening during the app's lifetime as it is quite expensive and blocks the main thread. When tasks comes in to the pool, the task is sent to an idle thread, or put in a queue if all threads are busy. The idle thread is moved to the busy thread sequence. When a task is completed, the thread is taken out of the busy threads sequence and moved back in to the sequence of idle threads, effectively recycling it.
The first `spawnAndSend` we were able to change over to the new threadpool was `estimate`, which estimates the gas of a sticker purchase transaction.
From the consumer point of view, the existing `spawnAndSend` to achieve this looks like:
```nim
proc estimate*(self: StickersView, packId: int, address: string, price: string, uuid: string) {.slot.} =
let status_stickers = self.status.stickers
spawnAndSend(self, "setGasEstimate") do:
var success: bool
var estimate = status_stickers.estimateGas(packId, address, price, success)
if not success:
estimate = 325000
let result: tuple[estimate: int, uuid: string] = (estimate, uuid)
Json.encode(result)
```
And the new syntax looks like this:
```nim
proc estimate*(self: StickersView, packId: int, address: string, price: string, uuid: string) {.slot.} =
self.status.taskManager.threadPool.stickers.stickerPackPurchaseGasEstimate(cast[pointer](self.vptr), "setGasEstimate", packId, address, price, uuid)
```
The logic inside the `spawnAndSend` body was moved to [src/status/tasks/stickers.nim](https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/compare/experiment/tasks-3?expand=1#diff-09e57eef00b0cee5c4abdb9039f948d8372e7003e09e934a9b4c7e9167d47658).
This is just the first migration of `spawnAndSend`, however moving the majority of the remaining `spawnAndSend`s will likely just be an exercise in copy/pasta. There will be one or two that may require a bit more thinking, depending how they rely on data from the model.
Once the `spawnAndSend`s have been converted to the threadpool, we can start implementing the [long-running process from the task runner use case experiments](https://github.com/status-im/nim-task-runner/blob/test/use-cases/test/use_cases/test_long_running.nim).
And finally, we can then implement the [async tasks](https://github.com/status-im/nim-task-runner/blob/test/use-cases/test/use_cases/test_async.nim) if needed.
@michaelsbradleyjr and I spent many hours digging in to the depths of nim's memory management in an attempt to understand it. We have created [a presentation with our task runner experiment findings](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ItCxAfsVTcIoH_E4bgvmHljhbU-tC3T6K2A6ahwAedk/edit?usp=sharing), and @michaelsbradleyjr has spent time [answering questions off the back of that presentation.](https://gist.github.com/michaelsbradleyjr/1eaa9937b3fbb4ffff3fb814f0dd82a9).
We have created a fork of `edn.nim` at `status-im/edn.nim` and we need the PR to be merged and the commit hash updated before we can merge this PR in to `status-desktop`.
When the network connection is changed, the sticker packs are cleared and then re-loaded (either loading the offline (installed) sticker packs, or all the sticker packs from the network).
Stickers can be sent while offline, though the sticker images do not load once offline (this is likely a side effect of the bug described below).
There is a known bug in QNetworkAccessManager (https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-55180) that was re-introduced in 5.14.1 that does not allow us to download resources if we go offline then come back online. The workaround employed in this PR manually sets the NetworkAccessible property of QNetworkAccessManager once we have been connected back online. The NetworkAccessible property is marked as obsolete and will be removed in Qt6, so it is something that we need to be aware of when we upgrade. However the hope is that the bug has been fixed.
Close StickersPopup when disconnected from network (so that re-loading of sticker packs doesn't look out of place).
fix: set network status correctly at load
feat: stickers gas estimate async
feat: When network re-connected, any http images that were not properly loaded in an ImageLoader component will automatically be reloaded.

Fixes#1377.
Fixes#1479.
Two sites have been added to the whitelist: giphy.com and tenor.com.
`imageUrls` in its entirety has been removed and instead all links are being handle through the message `linkUrls`. This prevents double-handling of urls that may or may not be images.
The logic to automatically show links previews works like this:
1. If the setting "display chat images" is enabled, all links that *contain* ".png", ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".svg", ".gif" will be automatically shown. If the URL doesn't contain the extension, we are not downloading it. This was meant to be somewhat of a security compromise as we do not want to download each and every link posted in a message just to find out its true content type.
2. If the above setting is *disabled*, then we follow the whitelist settings for tenor and giphy. This allows us to preview gifs that do not have a file extension in their url.
feat: bump status-go to the commit that supports the new whitelist (https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/2094), and also lets us get link preview data from urls in the whitelist. NOTE: this commit was branched off status-go `develop`, so once it is merged, and we update this PR to the new commit, we will effectively be getting status-go develop changes. We *could* base that status-go PR off of master if it makes things easier.
fix: height on settings update issue
feat: move date/time of message below links
fix: layout issues when changing setting `neverAskAboutUnfurlingAgain`
feat: Add MessageBorder component to aid in showing rounded corners with different radius
YouTube link unfurling was not working for a couple reasons.
There were two main parts fixed:
1. QML context for messages pertaining to linkUrls and imageUrls was changed from implicit to explicit. By this, I mean that any time we referenced linkUrls/imageUrls, we were relying on the knowledge that those values would be populated by some parent context several levels up. Now, we are referring to properties that have been explicitly defined on the components. This offers the ability to reuse components, and makes reading the code and debugging much easier.
2. Error handling has been added to getting link preview data. An unhandled "error" was thrown each time a link that wasn't whitelisted was passed in, causing the app to crash. For example, when a link to a tenor gif was posted in the chat, that URL was not whitelisted, causing the app to crash.
