The channel sidebar currently has two different states, "conversations" and "viewing server".
Conversations Sidebar
The conversations sidebar shows a short navigation menu to:
- Home
- Friends (hidden on mobile; shown in Bottom Navigation)
- Saved Notes
With a list of direct messages below (descending order by last message ID with a fallback to channel ID).
Server Sidebar
The server sidebar is composed of the server banner with the title on top, and a list of categories and channels below.
Categories may be collapsed, and continue to show the active channels when collapsed.
Ordered Channels Algorithm
- Initialise a set U of uncategorised channel IDs from server channels the client may access.
- Initialise an empty list of categories C
- If server.categories are defined, for each category:
- Remove all the channels defined in the category from set U
- Add category to list C
- If the set U is not empty:
- Find the "default" category if it exists in C
- Merge the "default" category channels if they exist with and preceding the set U
- Create a category with id="default" and add it to the start of the list C if it does not exist
- Return the list C
