Juan Tejada f157ddb867 [client-app] Make resetEmailCache work without forcing re sign-in
Summary:
This commit makes it so `resetEmailCache` works as expected, i.e. it
removes all databases, without forcing the user to re sign-in to their
accounts or NylasID

Previously, this method removed the database without removing the
accounts, left users in an un-authed state that was hard to recover
from. This was fixed in D4212 which makes sure that when we get a new
identity, sync and deltas are restarted

However, resetEmailCache would still force you to log in to yoru NylasID
because it was deleted from the database. However, if we reuse the
command `application:relaunch-to-initial-windows` instead of manually
deleting the database, we can relaunc the app while preserving the users
NylasID session, so they don't have to sign back in manually.

Test Plan: manual

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.
