After PR 12563 we're now free to use optional chaining in the worker-thread as well. (This patch also fixes one previously "missed" case in the `web/` folder.)
For the MOZCENTRAL build-target this patch reduces the total bundle-size by `1.6` kilobytes.
The call-sites are replaced by direct `typeof`-checks instead, which removes unnecessary function calls. Note that in the `src/`-folder we already had more `typeof`-cases than `isString`-calls.
Unless you actually need to check that something is both a `Name` and also of the *correct* type, using `instanceof Name` directly should be a tiny bit more efficient since it avoids one function call and an unnecessary `undefined` check.
This patch uses ESLint to enforce this, since we obviously still want to keep the `isName` helper function for where it makes sense.
Unless you actually need to check that something is both a `Dict` and also of the *correct* type, using `instanceof Dict` directly should be a tiny bit more efficient since it avoids one function call and an unnecessary `undefined` check.
This patch uses ESLint to enforce this, since we obviously still want to keep the `isDict` helper function for where it makes sense.
This helper function is not really needed, since it's just a wrapper around a simple `instanceof` check, and it only adds unnecessary indirection in the code.
The size of the `src/core/obj.js` file has increased slowly over the years, and it also contains a fair amount of *distinct* functionality.
In order to improve readability and make it easier to navigate through the code, this patch moves `NameTree`/`NumberTree` into its own file.
It's obviously (a bit) more efficient to return early in `Page.getStructTree`, rather than trying to first "parse" an *empty* structTree-root.
*Somehow I didn't think of this yesterday, but this feels like a much better solution overall; sorry about the churn here!*
This is first of all consistent with existing API-methods, where we return `null` when the data in question doesn't exist. Secondly, it should also be (slightly) more efficient since there's less dummy-data that we need to transfer between threads.
Finally, this prevents us from adding an empty/unnecessary span to *every* single page even in documents without any structure tree data.
When a PDF is "marked" we now generate a separate DOM that represents
the structure tree from the PDF. This DOM is inserted into the <canvas>
element and allows screen readers to walk the tree and have more
information about headings, images, links, etc. To link the structure
tree DOM (which is empty) to the text layer aria-owns is used. This
required modifying the text layer creation so that marked items are
now tracked.
