## Ticket
1583: "add incontent ads to category/channel pages (break up every X claims?), or add back bottom ad in those areas."
## Behavioral changes
- Hide when in homepage (as currently we have ads between categories).
- Fix the light theme (it was transparent).
## Code changes
- While an Effect is the 'right' choice given that there is no jsx to mount, the need to prop-drill from the parent was getting a bit annoying, so converted to a Component instead.
- Remove the delay for Core Vitals avoidance for now -- seems to make the sticky less likely to serve an ad.
- Now that the membership state is correctly populated for incognito (see 9d830615), there is no more need to check for `isAuthenticated`.
Using that global variable was a bad idea. Stick to redux as the source of truth.
The flag is not listed for rehydration, so it will always start off as `undefined`, which is what we need anyways.
`undefined` indicates we haven't tested for ad-blockers, so we'll run the fetch and update the store with a true|false value.
Previously, we hide when authenticated.
We still need the `isAuthenticated` flag, because `hasPremiumPlus` stays at the unfetched (`undefined`) state for Incognito.
It's also possible to move the use of `useClaimListInfiniteScroll` into `claimList` itself, but opted to keep them separate for now so that `claimList` doesn't end up a bloated file like `claimListDiscover`.
In the first attempt (PR 1497, 4d44d81f), the `generateStreamUrl` was tweaked to fetch a `Lbry.get`, which returns a promise. On top of a few async issues on its own, we also can't just simply `await` here since render functions need to be pure.
Fortunately, there is already redux structure for `get`, and Sean happened to already be passing all the required stuff here (sight beyond sight!), so it's just a matter of calling it.
Again, render functions need to be pure, so the fetch has be in an effect, so the component might take several renders to get the image painted. But oddly this seems to avoid the occurrence of showing the fallback spaceman image (just an observation, no proof of correlation).
It was meant to be general-purpose in the first-place, but ended being tied to ads due to time constraint and also bad documentation.
No functional change.
## Issue
- Due to the timer used, the script could be loaded after the path-checking useEffect ran.
- Stale closure is also an issue.
## Approach
Create refs for the props, and listen to `onload` as well to resolve the visibility state.
pinnedUrls = resolve
pinnedClaimIds = claim_search
Make `pinnedClaimIds` take precedence for now, since the homepage is defining both to support Android.
For some reason, I previously made `pinnedUrls` the priority, thinking this should be the "correct" one to use when the SDK is fixed.
Expanded homepage pins to support 2 types of input (if both are passed in, pinnedUrls take precedence):
(1) pinnedUrls --> uses doResolveUris (resolve)
(2) pinnedClaimIds --> uses doResolveClaimIds (claim_search)
Instead of injecting the pinned URLs directly, we inject from `resolvedPinUris`, which will be blank until the uris are resolved, thus preventing it from being resolved individually from the tiles.
There's additional complexity with the `claim_search` method, as the rest of the code deals with uris instead of IDs. Fortunately, it's all contained with `useResolvePins`, so removal would be easier when the batch `resolve` issue is fixed.
- Only add for unauthenticated users for now. We can change that to look at premium later without having to touch `app/view.jsx`.
- Only show the ad after knowing the ad is filled; this prevents the invisible container from blocking stuff while waiting, or even worse, when not filled.
- Instead of 2 ways to display ads (DOM injection + React method) and having both of them clash, just do it the predictable React way.
- Augment the existing React version to support tile layout + ability to place in last visible slot.
- Consolidate styling code to scss ... DOM manipulations were making it even harder to maintain.
- Removed the need to check for ad-blockers for now. It was being executed every time an ad is displayed, and now that we are displaying ads in more places, the gains doesn't justify the performance loss. Also, it wasn't being done for Recommended ads anyway, so the inconsistency probably means it's not needed in the first place.
Other known issues fixed:
- double ad injection when changing language via nag.
- additional "total-blocking-time" due to ads at startup removed.
- fixed ads not appearing in mobile homepage until navigated away and back to homepage.
- enable ads in channel page.
- support for both List and Tile layout.
* Bump react-draggable
Old version was giving out console errors for outdated react functions
* Refactor fileRenderFloating
* Merge fileRenderMobile into fileRenderFloating
* Fixes from review
* Attempt fix failed to view live
fixed the issue by removing the useRect, and putting in a resize event, going to try and make the code cleaner by removing all that logic and putting it in a hook.
Was trying to save one event listener in the previous implementation and rely on other redux state-changes to spark a GUI update, but turns out there are scenarios where nothing is updated and the "offline" nag is stuck on screen.
## Change
Do it properly using the event listeners. The nag should now update promptly.
