Pull Request: Add stream-specific searching capability and prefix handling in Input components

What is this?

This pull request introduces an enhancement in the search functionality across streams, allowing developers and users to perform searches restricted to specific streams. Alongside, it introduces an optional prefix text feature in the Input components, which enhances user interaction by pre-filling the input field or preventing accidental overwrites of crucial input data.

Changes

Added Features:

1. Search Capability Enhancements:

   • Function in src/utils/narrow.js:
     • SEARCH_NARROW(query: string, streamId?: number): Enables searching within a specific stream by adding an optional streamId parameter. This facilitates more targeted searches based on stream IDs, limiting the scope of search results to the desired stream when provided.

2. Input Component Enhancements:

   • New Prop in src/common/Input.js:

     • prefixText?: string: Introduces a prefix text property to pre-fill input areas, enhancing user guidance.

   • Enhancements in SearchMessagesScreen.js:
     Handling inputs with prefixed text; manages specific parsing for stream-specific searches with prefixes.

Code Changes:

1. In src/nav/navActions.js:

   • navigateToSearch(streamId?: number, streamName?: string): Now accepts optional parameters for initiating a search within a specified stream.

2. In src/common/Input.js & Related Components (e.g., SearchInput.js, ModalSearchNavBar.js):

   • Implemented handling of prefixText, integrating it into input components allowing for pre-initialized search queries.

3. In src/action-sheets/index.js:

   • Integrated a new action called searchMessage to enable search functionality within a specific stream, improving user interactivity for stream-focused operations.

Documentation Updates:

1. In static/translations/messages_en.json:
   • Added localized strings for new error messages and UI components related to search and stream functionality adjustments.

Pull Request Review

Code Review Feedback

1. Code Clarity and Readability:

   • The code changes are neatly organized and maintain a consistent format, making the modifications easy to understand. Consider using JSDoc comments for newly added functions to improve understandability for other contributors.

2. Integration and Compatibility:

   • The integration of streamId within the search function maintains backward compatibility, ensuring existing functionality is not compromised. Great job maintaining the balance between new feature implementation and legacy compatibility.

3. Documentation and Comments:

   • The code includes inline comments that clearly explain the logic behind complex changes, such as stream-specific search functionality. Consider extending documentation in more detail around the ramifications of prefixText on data handling in forms.

Recommendations

• Ensure comprehensive test coverage for new features, especially handling edge cases in stream-specific searches. Consider updating existing test cases to reflect new functionalities.
• Check if any existing UI elements need tweaking to accommodate the new search enhancements, notably in visual feedback when stream-specific searches are initiated.

Overall, this pull request moves towards enriching user interaction and search efficiency within the application, creating potential for tailored user experiences and boosted productivity in finding content within streams.

### Pull Request Review

**Author:** SilentCruzer  
**Title:** Add `streamId` to search narrow and `prefixText` to input components  

#### Summary

This pull request enhances the search functionality by adding an optional `streamId` parameter. It also introduces a `prefixText` property to the input components, allowing pre-filling of input fields.

#### Commit Breakdown

1. **Commit:** `narrow: Add optional param streamId in search narrow`
   - **Changes Made:**  
     - The `search` narrow now optionally accepts a `streamId`, enabling searches within specific streams.
     - Function `SEARCH_NARROW` has been updated to accept `streamId` as an optional argument.
     - Updates to multiple usage points in utilities and function calls have been made to accommodate `streamId`.
   - **Feedback:**
     - The change is well-integrated into the existing structure. The code is clean and utilizes optional parameters effectively without disrupting existing functionality. The updated comments enhance readability by providing context about the changes.

2. **Commit:** `Input: Add optional param prefixText in Input`
   - **Changes Made:**  
     - Added a `prefixText` prop to input fields to allow default text to be displayed initially.
     - Modified component structures, including `Input`, `InputWithClearButton`, `SearchInput`, etc., to incorporate the `prefixText`.
   - **Feedback:**
     - The addition of `prefixText` is well-implemented and adds flexibility in UI/UX design. The initial value handling using default parameters is clear and aligns with best practices in React.

3. **Commit:** `stream action buttons: Implement search messages in stream`
   - **Changes Made:**  
     - Implemented functionality allowing users to initiate a search within a stream directly from stream action buttons.
     - Navigational logic was updated to accommodate the new search within a stream.
   - **Feedback:**
     - Good integration of new action buttons aligning with the current user flow. Error handling and navigation structure are intact and align with the existing pattern.

#### General Feedback

- **Code Quality:** Overall, the code modifications are clean, concise, and logically fit into the existing codebase. The use of optional parameters, destructuring, and state management is well-executed.
- **Documentation:** In-code comments provide clear explanations for the changes implemented. Further documentation outside the code could improve the user guide for utilizing these new features.
- **Testing and Validation:** Ensure these new features are covered by unit tests to confirm integrity across the application functionality, especially given the new conditions checking for `streamId`.

#### Additional Notes

- Consider updating any related documentation that might require knowledge about the new `streamId` functionality or the `prefixText` parameter in user-facing inputs.
- This is a substantial enhancement to search functionalities. If not done so, inform all team members of these extended capabilities to ensure seamless integration and testing across modules.
