@Component
@ConditionalOnClass(io.meeds.appcenter.plugin.ApplicationBadgePlugin.class)
public class ChatApplicationBadgePlugin
extends Object
implements io.meeds.appcenter.plugin.ApplicationBadgePlugin

Declares the chat badge and binds it to the Chat application, without computing it.

Chat is the one contributor whose counter is authoritative in the browser: the Matrix client maintains it from its own sync state, and the topbar chat button renders it directly. Two consequences:

• There is no cheap server-side count to expose. MatrixService.getUnreadConversations does exist but performs a callAsUser, a conversation-title resolution and a full Matrix /sync per call — built for an on-demand MCP tool, not for a counter rendered on the topbar of every page.
• Even if it were cheap, it would be a second source for a number already displayed next to it, and the two could disagree.

So the value is supplied client-side through the AppCenterAppBadge rendering extension, reusing the very count the chat button shows, and this plugin only carries the two things the frontend cannot know: the badge identifier and which catalog entry it belongs to.

Method Details

init

@PostConstruct
public void init()

getName

public String getName()

Specified by:

getName in interface io.meeds.appcenter.plugin.ApplicationBadgePlugin

getDrawerNames

public List<String> getDrawerNames()

Specified by:

getDrawerNames in interface io.meeds.appcenter.plugin.ApplicationBadgePlugin

isSelfCached

public boolean isSelfCached()

Nothing is cached: there is no server-side value to cache. Declaring this self-cached keeps App Center from storing — and later serving — the placeholder returned by countBadge(String).

Specified by:

isSelfCached in interface io.meeds.appcenter.plugin.ApplicationBadgePlugin

countBadge

public long countBadge(String username)

Always 0: the real count is rendered by the frontend extension. The badge is still displayed, because a badge carrying a registered rendering extension owns its own visibility rather than depending on this value.

Specified by:

countBadge in interface io.meeds.appcenter.plugin.ApplicationBadgePlugin
