Juan Tejada 4d1628b914 [client-app] Don't start sync or delta connections without an identity
Summary:
This prevents the app from entering a restart loop when there's no
identity.

Specifically, when a user logs out of their identity, or when she resets the
email cache, or any other scenario that leaves the app without an
identity but with accounts added, the sync loop (and deltas) will start
without an Identity.

This will cause NylasAPIRequest to throw an error that
forces the user to close the app. When the app restarts, sync will start
again without an identity, and the user will be forced to close the app
again, and so on and so forth for the rest of eternity

Relevant error:
https://github.com/nylas/nylas-mail-all/blob/master/packages/client-app/src/flux/nylas-api-request.es6#L165-L174

Additionaly, this makes sure that after resetting the email cache, the sync
process starts when the identity becomes available

This solves T7989

Client Sync

This is the mail sync engine that runs within the Nylas Mail client

It is symlinked in as an internal_package of Nylas Mail via the postinstall script of the root repo.

Important Usage Notes:

Since this is symlinked in as an internal_package of Nylas Mail, there are a handulf of considerations when developing in client-sync. Some common gotchas:

  • You MAY use NylasEnv, NylasExports and other injected libraries in the Nylas Mail client environment.
  • You MAY use any 3rd party library declared in client-app/package.json. Since this gets added as a plugin of the Nylas Mail client, you'll have access to all libraries. This works because the client-app/node_modules was added to the global require paths. That lets us access client-app plugins without being a file directory decendent of client-app (client-sync is now a sibling of client-app)
  • You may NOT add "dependencies" to the client-sync/package.json. If you need a 3rd party library, add it to the main client-app/package.json. All Nylas Mail plugins (those inside of internal_packages), may no longer declare their own dependencies.
  • You should be aggressive at moving generic mail methods to isomorphic-core. We may eventually want to make large chunks of client-sync work in a cloud environment as well.
