Chat layout
Usage
Only import from main.coffee. You should not need to import from any other file.
It allows you to:
Initialize stores and actions for a chat
Render that chat
Destroy the same stores and actions
Overview
CoCalc has several chat view considerations.
Side chat associated with files
Primary chat rooms (also a file)
Mobile and Desktop versions of both
The constricting factors are primarily keyboard related or screen size related. ie. You cannot use certain hotkeys without a physical keyboard and certain things don't fit well on a smaller screen.
opening side chat on mobile should "slide over" the main document. Basically, don't try to split the screen. side chat mobile should be identical to primary chat mobile. side chat desktop should expand to primary chat desktop when it's dragged open across the screen
If some method returns a child and has IS_MOBILE at the top, it should be its own component
Use IS_MOBILE closest to where it matters.
