+
+`<Status>`
+==========
+
+Original file by @gargron@mastodon.social et al as part of
+tootsuite/mastodon. *Heavily* rewritten (and documented!) by
+@kibi@glitch.social as a part of glitch-soc/mastodon. The following
+features have been added:
+
+ -  Better separating the "guts" of statuses from their wrapper(s)
+ -  Collapsing statuses
+ -  Moving images inside of CWs
+
+A number of aspects of this original file have been split off into
+their own components for better maintainance; for these, see:
+
+ -  <StatusHeader>
+ -  <StatusPrepend>
+
+…And, of course, the other <Status>-related components as well.

+The `<Status>` component:
+-------------------------
 
-  // Avoid checking props that are functions (and whose equality will always
-  // evaluate to false. See react-immutable-pure-component for usage.
-  updateOnProps = [
-    'status',
-    'account',

-    'wrapped',
-    'me',
-    'boostModal',
-    'autoPlayGif',
-    'muted',
-    'collapse',
-  ]
+The `<Status>` component is a container for statuses. It consists of a
+few parts:
 
-  render () {
-    // Exclude intersectionObserverWrapper from `other` variable
-    // because intersection is managed in here.
-    const { status, account, ...other } = this.props;
+ -  The `<StatusPrepend>`, which contains tangential information about
+    the status, such as who reblogged it.
+ -  The `<StatusHeader>`, which contains the avatar and username of the
+    status author, as well as a media icon and the "collapse" toggle.
+ -  The `<StatusContent>`, which contains the content of the status.
+ -  The `<StatusActionBar>`, which provides actions to be performed
+    on statuses, like reblogging or sending a reply.
 
-    if (status === null) {
-      return null;
-    }
+###  Context
 
-    if (status.get('reblog', null) !== null && typeof status.get('reblog') === 'object') {
-      let displayName = status.getIn(['account', 'display_name']);
+ -  __`router` (`PropTypes.object`) :__
+    We need to get our router from the surrounding React context.
 
-      if (displayName.length === 0) {
-        displayName = status.getIn(['account', 'username']);
-      }
+###  Props
 
-      const displayNameHTML = { __html: emojify(escapeTextContentForBrowser(displayName)) };
+ -  __`id` (`PropTypes.number`) :__
+    The id of the status.
 
-      return (
-        <div className='status__wrapper' ref={this.handleRef} data-id={status.get('id')} >
-          <div className='status__prepend'>
-            <div className='status__prepend-icon-wrapper'><i className='fa fa-fw fa-retweet status__prepend-icon' /></div>

-          </div>
+ -  __`status` (`ImmutablePropTypes.map`) :__
+    The status object, straight from the store.
 
-          <Status {...other} status={status.get('reblog')} account={status.get('account')} wrapped />
-        </div>
-      );
-    } else return <Status {...this.props} />;
-  }
+ -  __`account` (`ImmutablePropTypes.map`) :__
+    Don't be confused by this one! This is **not** the account which
+    posted the status, but the associated account with any further
+    action (eg, a reblog or a favourite).
 
-}
+ -  __`settings` (`ImmutablePropTypes.map`) :__
+    These are our local settings, fetched from our store. We need this
+    to determine how best to collapse our statuses, among other things.
+
+ -  __`me` (`PropTypes.number`) :__
+    This is the id of the currently-signed-in user.
+
+ -  __`onFavourite`, `onReblog`, `onModalReblog`, `onDelete`,
+    `onMention`, `onMute`, `onMuteConversation`, onBlock`, `onReport`,
+    `onOpenMedia`, `onOpenVideo` (`PropTypes.func`) :__
+    These are all functions passed through from the
+    `<StatusContainer>`. We don't deal with them directly here.
+
+ -  __`reblogModal`, `deleteModal` (`PropTypes.bool`) :__
+    These tell whether or not the user has modals activated for
+    reblogging and deleting statuses. They are used by the `onReblog`
+    and `onDelete` functions, but we don't deal with them here.
+
+ -  __`autoPlayGif` (`PropTypes.bool`) :__
+    This tells the frontend whether or not to autoplay gifs!
+
+ -  __`muted` (`PropTypes.bool`) :__
+    This has nothing to do with a user or conversation mute! "Muted" is
+    what Mastodon internally calls the subdued look of statuses in the
+    notifications column. This should be `true` for notifications, and
+    `false` otherwise.
+
+ -  __`collapse` (`PropTypes.bool`) :__
+    This prop signals a directive from a higher power to (un)collapse
+    a status. Most of the time it should be `undefined`, in which case
+    we do nothing.
+
+ -  __`prepend` (`PropTypes.string`) :__
+    The type of prepend: `'reblogged_by'`, `'reblog'`, or
+    `'favourite'`.
+
+ -  __`withDismiss` (`PropTypes.bool`) :__
+    Whether or not the status can be dismissed. Used for notifications.
+
+ -  __`intersectionObserverWrapper` (`PropTypes.object`) :__
+    This holds our intersection observer. In Mastodon parlance,
+    an "intersection" is just when the status is viewable onscreen.
 
-class Status extends ImmutablePureComponent {
+###  State
+
+ -  __`isExpanded` :__
+    Should be either `true`, `false`, or `null`. The meanings of
+    these values are as follows:
+
+     -  __`true` :__ The status contains a CW and the CW is expanded.
+     -  __`false` :__ The status is collapsed.
+     -  __`null` :__ The status is not collapsed or expanded.
+
+ -  __`isIntersecting` :__
+    This boolean tells us whether or not the status is currently
+    onscreen.
+
+ -  __`isHidden` :__
+    This boolean tells us if the status has been unrendered to save
+    CPUs.
