I know hamburger menus sometimes aren't amazing, but the current icon is
misleading. It's a plus button which generally means "create new".
However the menu is full of actions not related to creating new things,
including:
- Explore Rooms
- Find your Friends
- Scan a QR Code
These actions may technically result in a new room appearing in the
sidebar, but that's not a user's definition of creating a new thing;
these are *joining* a thing, and the fact that a new entry appears in
the sidebar is an implementation detail.
As a result the existing icon is inaccurate, and also holds back the
menu from adding additional items in the future that are even less
related to creating new rooms. An example would be the quick room
switcher, which is not exposed visibly in the UI anywhere, and could not
logically live in the current menu without changing its icon and text.
Add the ability to search in the user directory for friends.
This adds an option in roomlist when on the friends tab and opens a search dialog when clicked. The new search model searches the user directory for the given filter term.
Pull the generic aspects from Room search and join room pages into it's own component. This is done in anticipation of using the new generic search page for a user search functionality.
- `SearchPage` is now used for the generic version with the old one being renamed `RoomSearchPage`
- `JoinRoomPage` is renamed to `ExploreRoomsPage` inline with everywhere else in NeoChat
There is also some cleanup of the code for both search pages in here.
This is an update to searching the public room list. Currently if you can't find the room you're looking for you can type a full alias of room ID into the search bar and a view/join button appears. This is hard to discover and technically broken since it was turned into a generic component for finding rooms (it kinda works but doesn't fit now as it's focussed on the joining rooms not adding new ones to spaces). It is also not very discoverable if you don't know it's there.
This patch patch updates the workflow to be truly generic and hopefully more discoverable. Instead of using the search bar if no results are found a button asking if someone wants to manually enter a room ID or alias appears. This launches a dialog where the user can type in an alias or ID and it has some basic checking to make sure the string looks as expected.
The new functionality also generically works for joining rooms and adding children to spaces.
Add a space homepage with the ability to both create new room and add existing rooms to the space. This uses a tree model for the space hierarchy and will go to any number of levels. The user should only see the add options if they have appropriate permissions.
This MR also combines the create space and room pages and adds a lot of optional functionality for managing space children.
