Every project page displays a navigation menu that in turn displays the
number of open issues and merge requests. This means that for every
project page we run two COUNT(*) queries, each taking up roughly 30
milliseconds on GitLab.com. By caching these numbers and refreshing them
whenever necessary we can reduce loading times of all these pages by up
to roughly 60 milliseconds.
The number of open issues does not include confidential issues. This is
a trade-off to keep the code simple and to ensure refreshing the data
only needs 2 COUNT(*) queries instead of 3. A downside is that if a
project only has 5 confidential issues the counter will be set to 0.
Because we now have 3 similar counting service classes the code
previously used in Projects::ForksCountService has mostly been moved to
Projects::CountService, which in turn is reused by the various service
classes.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/36622
Some important things to note:
- commands are removed from noteable.description / note.note
- commands are translated to params so that they are treated as normal
params in noteable Creation services
- the logic is not in the models but in the Creation services, which is
the right place for advanced logic that has nothing to do with what
models should be responsible of!
- UI/JS needs to be updated to handle notes which consist of commands
only
- the `/merge` command is not handled yet
Other improvements:
- Don't process commands in commit notes and display a flash is note is only commands
- Add autocomplete for slash commands
- Add description and params to slash command DSL methods
- Ensure replying by email with a commands-only note works
- Use :subscription_event instead of calling noteable.subscribe
- Support :todo_event in IssuableBaseService
