# Introduction
Avoid having multiple `isDefined` definition across our pacakges
Also avoid importing `isDefined` from `twenty-ui` which exposes a huge
barrel for a such little util function
## In a nutshell
Removed own `isDefined.ts` definition from `twenty-ui` `twenty-front`
and `twenty-server` to move it to `twenty-shared`.
Updated imports for each packages, and added explicit dependencies to
`twenty-shared` if not already in place

## Context
Following this https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/issues/4199
This has not been fully implemented, after 5months of dead code I'm
removing the feature for the time being until we re-prioritise the
feature (unlikely during these next 6 months) to keep the codebase a bit
cleaner (no need to maintain dead features)
Feel free to reopen / revert this PR once feature is ready
## Test
locally after importing emails
The DX is not great when you need to do a lot of database
resets/command.
Should we disable Typescript validation to speed things up? With this
and caching database:reset takes 1min instead of 2 on my machine.

# Feature: Email thread members visibility
For this feature we implemented a chip and a dropdown menu that allows
users to check which workspace members can see an email thread, as
depicted on issue (#4199).
## Implementations
- create a new database table (messageThreadMember)
- relations between `messageThreadMembers` and the relevant existing
tables (`MessageThread` and `WorkspaceMembers`)
- added a new column to the `MessageThread table`: `everyone` - to
indicate that all workspace members can see the email thread
- create a new repository for the new table, including new queries
- edit the queries so that the new fields could be fetched from the
frontend
- created a component `MultiChip`, that shows a group of user avatars,
instead of just one
- created a component, `ShareDropdownMenu`, that shows up once the
`EmailThreadMembersChip` is clicked. On this menu you can see which
workspace members can view the email thread.
## Screenshots
Here are some screenshots of the frontend components that were created:
Chip with everyone in the workspace being part of the message thread:
Chip with just one member of the workspace (the owner) being part of the
message thread:

thread:

Dropdown that opens when you click on the chip:
## Testing and Mock data
We also added mock data (TypeORM seeds), focusing on adding mock data
related to message thread members.
## Conclusion
As some of the changes that we needed to do, regarding the change of
visibility of the message thread, were not covered by the existing
documentation, we were told to open a PR and ask for feedback on this
part of the implementation. Right now, our implementation is focused on
displaying who is part of an email thread.
Feel free to let us know which steps we should follow next :)

Closes#5924.
Adding the "many" side of relations in the table view, and fixing some
issues (glitch in Multi record select, cache update after update).

This PR introduces a new side panel to edit records and the ability to
minimize the side panel.
The goal is leverage this sidepanel to be able to create records while
being in another show page.
I'm opening the PR for feedback since it involved refactoring and
therefore already touches a lot of files, even though it was quick to
implement.

## Query depth deprecation
I'm deprecating depth parameter in our graphql query / cache tooling.
They were obsolete since we introduce the possibility to provide
RecordGqlFields
## Refactor combinedFindManyRecordHook
The hook can now take an array of operationSignatures
## Fix tasks issues
Fix optimistic rendering issue. Note that we still haven't handle
optimisticEffect on creation properly
When writing to the normalized cache (record), it's crucial to use _refs
for relationships to avoid many problems. Essentially, we only deal with
level 0 and generate all fields to be comfortable with their defaults.
When writing in queries (which should be very rare, the only cases are
prefetch and the case of activities due to the nested query; I've
reduced this to a single file for activities
usePrepareFindManyActivitiesQuery 🙂), it's important to use queryFields
to avoid bugs. I've implemented them on the side of query generation and
record generation.
When doing an updateOne / createOne, etc., it's necessary to distinguish
between optimistic writing (which we actually want to do with _refs) and
the server response without refs. This allows for a clean write in the
optimistic cache without worrying about nesting (as the first point).
To simplify the whole activities part, write to the normalized cache
first. Then, base queries on it in an idempotent manner. This way,
there's no need to worry about the current page or action. The
normalized cache is up-to-date, so I update the queries. Same idea as
for optimisticEffects, actually.
Finally, I've triggered optimisticEffects rather than the manual update
of many queries.
