Keep happy path on the left and try to return as early
as we can to help the reader understand the logic better
The function is too large to be able to quickly scan an if / else
chain and see the function return at the end
Client and ClientManager deal with both 'dehydrated' channels/networks (ie. directly
from JSON configuration) and the 'rehydrated' ones (classes, with socket objects,
message arrays, etc.).
However, because their attributes are similar, both types were used interchangeably,
which becomes an issue when splitting Client's configuration loading into smaller
methods.
We should not mess with irc-framework internals.
Technically we shouldn't even access the connection object,
it's not part of the documented API surface
This introduces the ability to run the migration offline, while
TL is not running as the migrations can take a long time.
The migrate command is added as a `thelounge storage` subcommand.
Reason being that it is expected that more subcommands will follow,
say `thelounge storage clean` to remove partial data from the db.
We want primary keys to never get re-used to so that we
can implement jump to messages / context fetching etc
in the future.
This isn't hooked up yet at all to the rest of the code, only
the schema is changed
This sets up the testing infrastructure to test migrations we are
doing.
It's done on a in memory database directly, we are only interested
in the statements themselves and it's easier than to try and
inject a prepared db into the store.
We do add some dummy data though to make sure we actually execute
the things as we expect.
Prior to this, the search is still racy but one tends to notice
this only when the DB is large or network is involved.
The user can initiate a search, get bored, navigate to another chan
issue a different search.
Now however, the results of the first search come back in and
hilarity ensues as we are now confused with the state.
To avoid this, keep track of the last search done and any result
that comes in that isn't equal to the active query is garbage and
can be dropped.
The only reason we accepted a client was that so we have access
to the next message id when we need it.
So let's accept an id provider function instead.
The interface should not contain things that aren't the API of the
storage interface.
Further, rename ISqliteMessageStorage to SearchableMessageStorage,
as that's also an implementation detail.
We'll never have a second sqlite backend, so the name seems
strange.
TL is stupid and doesn't wait for message{Provider,Storage} to
settle before it starts using the store.
While this should be fixed globally, we can hack around the problem
by pushing everything onto the call stack and hope that we'll eventually
finish the setup before we blow the stack.
TS type assertions need to be avoided.
The following trivial example demonstrates why
```
type Person = {
name: string;
isBad: boolean;
};
function makePerson(): Person {
const p: Person = {name: 'whatever'} as Person
p.isBad = false
return p // theoretically we are now good, p is a Person
}
```
Should the type ever change though, TS will happily trot along
```
type Person = {
name: string;
isBad: boolean;
omgHowCouldYou: number;
};
function makePerson(): Person {
const p: Person = {name: 'whatever'} as Person
p.isBad = true
return p // p is *not* a Person, omgHowCouldYou is missing
}
```
But we pinky swore to the compiler that p is in fact a Person.
In other words, the types are now wrong and you will fail during
runtime.
Message stores are more complicated that a sync "fire and forget"
API allows for.
For starters, non trivial stores (say sqlite) can fail during init
and we want to be able to catch that.
Second, we really need to be able to run migrations and such, which
may block (and fail) the activation of the store.
On the plus side, this pushes error handling to the caller rather
than the stores, which is a good thing as that allows us to eventually
push this to the client in the UI, rather than just logging it in the
server on stdout
Currently the realname is set to an advertisement if it isn't explicitly
set by the user.
Some clients started to show the realname as a display name in their
UI, which makes this tedious as you'll end up with gazillion "The Lounge
User" entries.
To avoid this, set the realname to the nick on first connect, so that
it is useful.
Note that this isn't done on nick changes, but only on the initial
connect step.

When a URL is prefixed with a TLS scheme, we should make sure
that the remote provides a valid cert, even just for prefetches.
Else MITM of such a site is trivial.
This probably breaks some people with self signed cert, but the
age where that was acceptable is past. We have free CAs now like
Let's Encrypt.
Make `thelounge install file:~/path/to/package` work rather than
erroring out that the folder doesn't exists.
Probably funny on Windows, but it doesn't hurt either
The message was ordered the wrong way in the TS rewrite.
Old:
+bookworm sent a CTCP request: "chadler" to version
