shelfing it at the moment, if it becomes a problem in the future then may be we can address it then. For the moment I've just left the refactoring I already did.
`FirstMessageTimestamp` enables members of the community to determine if
there are any messages they can fetch on the community channel(chat).
`FirstMessageTimestamp` is advertised by admin for each community chat
through `CommunityDescription`. It assumes admin is online frequently
enough to capture the first channel message.
For existing communities admin determines first message timestamp by
finding oldest chat message in its local database.

Add image_payload column to chats table.
Add Base64Image to chat struct.
Add ImageChange event to propagate image.
Change EditChat API - use CroppedImage.
Process and crop image in EditGroupChat.
This is so that we can control whether we want to publish the community
when it, or it's categories and channels, are created.
This is needed for the discord import so that we can create communities,
channels and categories without publishing the community and have it
show up in UIs too early.
This commit ensures we're relying on `chat.DeletedAtClockValue` instead
of `chat.Active` to know whether or not we need to remove the chat from
paired devices.
Because we were relying on `Active != true`, we ended up with a serious
but that would result in deactivating all chats on paired devices.
The reason the chats would disappear on paired devices is because, when
setting up a new device by importing a seedphrase, chances are this
device will receive `HandleBackUp` signals (which original from other
devices with the same account that backed up contacts etc).
When backups are handled, we create chats for every contact that's part
of the backup signal. Those chats are set to `Active = false` because
the signal handling shouldn't cause those chats to show up in the UI.
However, because those are set to `Active = false`, the next time the
user tries to sync from this devices, all those chats are considered as
"removed", hence sending "chat removed" signals when syncing (which then
causes those chats to disappear on all paired devices.
We need to rely on `DeletedAtClockValue` to know whether a chat was
indeed removed and only then emit such a signal.
This adds a new `discord_messages` table and extends the persistence
APIs such that `MessagesByID` and `MessageByID` will return user
messages that include their discord message payload.
It also adds APIs to save individual discord messages.
This introduces a new table to store discord message authors.
The main reason this table is being introduce is so that we don't have
to duplicate discord message author information in the `user_messages`
table when importing discord communities (ongoing work).
In addition to the table there are also two new APIs on the messenger
persistence layer (which are later used in the import logic):
- `HasDiscordMessageAuthor`
- `SaveDiscordMessageAuthor`
Closes#2759
There are two types of errors "non-critical" (or "warning") and "critical".
These map to error codes `1` and `2` respectively.
The current error codes are a left-over of initial experimenting.
As part of the new Discord <-> Status Community Import functionality,
we're adding an API that extracts all discord categories and channels
from a previously exported discord export file.
These APIs can be used in clients to show the user what categories and
channels will be imported later on.
There are two APIs:
1. `Messenger.ExtractDiscordCategoriesAndChannels(filesToimport
[]string) (*MessengerResponse, map[string]*discord.ImportError)`
This takes a list of exported discord export (JSON) files (typically one per
channel), reads them, and extracts the categories and channels into
dedicated data structures (`[]DiscordChannel` and `[]DiscordCategory`)
It also returns the oldest message timestamp found in all extracted
channels.
The API is synchronous and returns the extracted data as
a `*MessengerResponse`. This allows to make the API available
status-go's RPC interface.
The error case is a `map[string]*discord.ImportError` where each key
is a file path of a JSON file that we tried to extract data from, and
the value a `discord.ImportError` which holds an error message and an
error code, allowing for distinguishing between "critical" errors and
"non-critical" errors.
2. `Messenger.RequestExtractDiscordCategoriesAndChannels(filesToImport
[]string)`
This is the asynchronous counterpart to
`ExtractDiscordCategoriesAndChannels`. The reason this API has been
added is because discord servers can have a lot of message and
channel data, which causes `ExtractDiscordCategoriesAndChannels` to
block the thread for too long, making apps potentially feel like they
are stuck.
This API runs inside a go routine, eventually calls
`ExtractDiscordCategoriesAndChannels`, and then emits a newly
introduced `DiscordCategoriesAndChannelsExtractedSignal` that clients
can react to.
Failure of extraction has to be determined by the
`discord.ImportErrors` emitted by the signal.
**A note about exported discord history files**
We expect users to export their discord histories via the
[DiscordChatExporter](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/wiki/GUI%2C-CLI-and-Formats-explained#exportguild)
tool. The tool allows to export the data in different formats, such as
JSON, HTML and CSV.
We expect users to have their data exported as JSON.
Closes: https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/issues/6690
This introduces a flag to configure whether `Messenger.CreateCommunity`
should create a default channel.
As discussed in https://github.com/status-im/status-go/issues/2758, this
is needed for the upcoming functionality to import discord communities.
