Given the number of parameters that we now need to parse here, this code is no longer as readable as one would like. Hence this re-factoring, which will improve overall readability and also help with the next patch.
Similar to the existing `annotationsPromise` and `_jsActionsPromise` properties, the new `_xfaPromise` should obviously also be reset, since otherwise you might end up holding onto a lot of data for pages that are no longer active.
(That caching wasn't present in the original version of PR 13069, which is why I didn't spot it until now.)
- add an option to enable XFA rendering if any;
- for now, let the canvas layer: it could be useful to implement XFAF forms (embedded pdf in xml stream for the background and xfa form for the foreground);
- ui elements in template DOM are pretty close to their html counterpart so we generate a fake html DOM from template one:
- it makes easier to translate template properties to html ones;
- it makes faster the creation of the html element in the main thread.
While there is nothing *outright* wrong with the existing implementation, it can however lead to increased memory usage in one particular case (that I completely overlooked when implementing this):
For "data:"-URLs, which by definition contains the entire PDF document and can thus be arbitrarily large, we obviously want to avoid sending, storing, and/or logging the "raw" docBaseUrl in that case.
To address this, this patch makes the following changes:
- Ignore any non-string in the `docBaseUrl` option passed to `getDocument`, since those are unsupported anyway, already on the main-thread.
- Ignore "data:"-URLs in the `docBaseUrl` option passed to `getDocument`, to avoid having to send what could potentially be a *very* long string to the worker-thread.
- Parse the `docBaseUrl` option *directly* in the `BasePdfManager`-constructors, on the worker-thread, to avoid having to store the "raw" docBaseUrl in the first place.
While the JSDocs have never advertised `getDocument` as supporting Node.js `Buffer`s, that apparently doesn't stop users from passing such data structures to `getDocument`.
In theory the existing `instanceof Uint8Array` check ought to have caught Node.js `Buffer`s, however for reasons that I don't even pretend to understand that check actually passes. Hence this patch which, *only* in Node.js environments, will special-case `Buffer`s to hopefully provide a slightly better out-of-the-box behaviour in Node.js environments[1].
---
[1] Although I'm not sure that we necessarily want to advertise this in the JSDocs, given the specialized use-case.
This is similar to the other methods, and the only reason for this not having been done originally is that the `cancel` functionality is a later addition.
Rather than converting the `AnnotationStorage`-data to an Object, before sending it to the worker-thread, we should be able to simply send the internal `Map` directly.
The "structured clone algorithm" doesn't have a problem with `Map`s, however the `LoopbackPort` used when workers are *disabled* (e.g. in Node.js environments) didn't use to support them. With PR 12997 having lifted that restriction, we should now be able to simply send the `AnnotationStorage`-data as-is rather than having to iterate through it to first create an Object.
*Please note:* The changes in `src/core/annotation.js` could have been a lot more compact if we were able to use optional chaining in the `src/core` folder. Unfortunately that's still not possible, since SystemJS is being used in the development viewer (i.g. `gulp server`) and fixing that is *still* blocked by [bug 1247687](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1247687).
*Please note:* The `defer` parameter has been enabled by default ever since PR 9777 (in 2018), which first shipped in PDF.js release `2.0.943`.
With workers *disabled*, e.g. in Node.js environments, this has been used ever since without any problems reported[1].
The impetus for this change was that I happened to notice that *if* the `LoopbackPort` was used with synchronous event dispatching, we'd simply send that data as-is to the listeners. This created an inconsistency in the data returned from the `pdf.worker.js` file, since `postMessage` used with *actual* workers (or the `LoopbackPort` with `defer = true`) will ignore/throw when encountering unclonable data.
Originally my intention was simply to just call `cloneValue` regardless of the event dispatching used in `LoopbackPort`, however looking at the use-cases (or lack thereof) of the `LoopbackPort` it seemed reasonable to simply remove the `defer` parameter instead.
This patch is tagged "[api-minor]" since the `LoopbackPort` is still exposed in the API, although I really hope that no third-party is using this (since disabling workers leads to bad performance).
Finally, this patch changes a `forEach` loop to `for...of` and makes uses of optional changing in existing code.

[1] As evident by the `npm test` command run by Github Actions, and previously by Travis.
Note first of all how the `PDFDocumentProxy.getJSActions` method in the API caches the result, which makes repeated lookups cheap enough to not really be an issue.
Secondly, with the previous patch, we're now only dispatching "pageopen"/"pageclose"-events when there's actually a sandbox that listens for them.
All-in-all, with these changes we can thus simplify the default-viewer "pageopen"-event handler a fair bit.
There's built-in ESLint rule, see `sort-imports`, to ensure that all `import`-statements are sorted alphabetically, since that often helps with readability.
Unfortunately there's no corresponding rule to sort `export`-statements alphabetically, however there's an ESLint plugin which does this; please see https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-sort-exports
The only downside here is that it's not automatically fixable, but the re-ordering is a one-time "cost" and the plugin will help maintain a *consistent* ordering of `export`-statements in the future.
*Note:* To reduce the possibility of introducing any errors here, the re-ordering was done by simply selecting the relevant lines and then using the built-in sort-functionality of my editor.
Given that the API will now, after PR 12039, automatically pick the correct factories to use depending on the environment (browser vs. Node.js), we can utilize that in the unit-tests as well. This way we don't have to manually repeat the same initialization code in *multiple* unit-tests.
*Note:* The *official* PDF.js API is defined in `src/pdf.js`, hence the new exports in `src/display/api.js` will not affect that.
Also, updates the unit-test `FileReaderFactory` helpers similarily.
*Drive-by change:* Fix the `CMapReaderFactory` usage in the annotation unit-tests, since the cache should only contain raw data and not a Promise. While this obviously works as-is, having unit-tests that "abuse" the intended data format can easily lead to unnecessary failures if changes are made to the relevant `src/core/` code.
This will, in a very simple way using the existing events, thus allow the viewer to remove the "beforeunload" `window` event listener when the document is closed.
Generally speaking we want to avoid having *global* event listeners for the PDF document instance, which is why the `EventBus` exists, and instead reserve global events for the viewer itself. However, the `AnnotationStorage` "beforeunload" event unfortunately needs to be document-specific and we should thus ensure that it's correctly removed when the document is destroyed.
* the goal is to execute actions like Open or OpenAction
* can be tested with issue6106.pdf (auto-print)
* once #12701 is merged, we can add page actions
Given that we already include the "Content-Disposition"-header filename, when it exists, it shouldn't hurt to also include the information from the "Content-Length"-header.
For PDF documents opened via a URL, which should be a very common way for the PDF.js library to be used, this will[1] thus provide a way of getting the PDF filesize without having to wait for the `getDownloadInfo`-promise to resolve[2].
With these API improvements, we can also simplify the filesize handling in the `PDFDocumentProperties` class.

[1] Assuming that the server is correctly configured, of course.
[2] Since that's not *guaranteed* to happen in general, with e.g. `disableAutoFetch = true` set.
- Add support for logical assignment operators, i.e. `&&=`, `||=`, and `??=`, with a Babel-plugin. Given that these required incrementing the ECMAScript version in the ESLint and Acorn configurations, and that platform/browser support is still fairly limited, always transpiling them seems appropriate for now.
- Cache the `hasJSActions` promise in the API, similar to the existing `getAnnotations` caching. With this implemented, the lookup should now be cheap enough that it can be called unconditionally in the viewer.
- Slightly improve cleanup of resources when destroying the `WorkerTransport`.
- Remove the `annotationStorage`-property from the `PDFPageView` constructor, since it's not necessary and also brings it more inline with the `BaseViewer`.
- Update the `BaseViewer.createAnnotationLayerBuilder` method to actaually agree with the `IPDFAnnotationLayerFactory` interface.[1]
- Slightly tweak a couple of JSDoc comments.
---
[1] We probably ought to re-factor both the `IPDFTextLayerFactory` and `IPDFAnnotationLayerFactory` interfaces to take parameter objects instead, since especially the `IPDFAnnotationLayerFactory` one is becoming quite unwieldy. Given that that would likely be a breaking change for any custom viewer-components implementation, this probably requires careful deprecation.
* When no actions then set it to null instead of empty object
* Even if a field has no actions, it needs to listen to events from the sandbox in order to be updated if an action changes something in it.
By using optional chaining, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Optional_chaining, it's possible to reduce unnecessary code-repetition in many cases.
Note that these changes also reduce the size of the *built* `pdf.js` file, when `SKIP_BABEL == true` is set, and for the `MOZCENTRAL` build-target that result in a `0.1%` filesize reduction from a simple and mostly mechanical code change.
Since we no longer use SystemJS to load the unit-tests, there's now nothing that prevents us from using optional chaining and nullish coalescing in the `src/display/` directory.
*This patch is based on a couple of smaller things that I noticed when working on PR 12479.*
- Don't store the /Fields on the `formInfo` getter, since that feels like overloading it with unintended (and too complex) data, and utilize a `hasFields` boolean instead.
This functionality was originally added in PR 12271, to help determine what kind of form data a PDF document contains, and I think that we should ensure that the return value of `formInfo` only consists of "simple" data.
With these changes the `fieldObjects` getter instead has to look-up the /Fields manually, however that shouldn't be a problem since the access is guarded by a `formInfo.hasFields` check which ensures that the data both exists and is valid. Furthermore, most documents doesn't even have any /AcroForm data anyway.
- Determine the `hasFields` property *first*, to ensure that it's always correct even if there's errors when checking e.g. the /XFA or /SigFlags entires, since the `fieldObjects` getter depends on it.
- Simplify a loop in `fieldObjects`, since the object being accessed is a `Map` and those have built-in iteration support.
- Use a higher logging level for errors in the `formInfo` getter, and include the actual error message, since that'd have helped with fixing PR 12479 a lot quicker.
- Update the JSDoc comment in `src/display/api.js` to list the return values correctly, and also slightly extend/improve the description.
Previously this rule has been enabled in the `web/` folder, and in select files in the `src/` sub-folders.
Note that a number of the files in the `src/display/` folder were already enforcing the `no-var` rule, and thanks to Prettier the necessary re-writing will be (mostly) handled automatically.
Please find additional details about the ESLint rule at https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-var
The `/Order` array is used to improve the display of Optional Content groups in PDF viewers, and it allows a PDF document to e.g. specify that Optional Content groups should be displayed as a (collapsable) tree-structure rather than as just a list.
Note that not all available Optional Content groups must be present in the `/Order` array, and PDF viewers will often (by default) hide those toggles in the UI.
To allow us to improve the UX around toggling of Optional Content groups, in the default viewer, these hidden-by-default groups are thus appended to the parsed `/Order` array under a *custom* nesting level (with `name == null`).
Finally, the patch also slightly tweaks an `OptionalContentConfig` related JSDoc-comment in the API.
Obviously it doesn't make sense to call that method without providing an `AnnotationStorage`-instance, however we should ensure that doing so won't cause errors.
Hence we need to check that `annotationStorage` is actually defined, before attempting to call its `resetModified` method.

This allows Firefox trigger a "save" event from ctrl/cmd+s or the "Save
Page As" context menu, which in turn lets pdf.js generate a new PDF if
there is form data to save.
I also now use `sourceEventType` on downloads so Firefox can determine if
it should launch the "open with" dialog or "save as" dialog.
- Initialize the `AnnotationStorage`-instance, on `PDFDocumentProxy`, lazily.
- Change the `AnnotationStorage` to use a `Map` internally, rather than a regular Object (simplifies the following points).
- Let `AnnotationStorage.getAll` return `null` when there's no data stored, to avoid unnecessary parsing on the worker-thread. This ought to "just work", since the worker-thread code *should* already handle the `!annotationStorage` case everywhere.
- Add a new `AnnotationStorage.size` getter, to be able to easily tell if there's any data stored.
While the parameter name (clearly) suggests that an `AnnotationStorage`-instance is expected, looking at the only call-sites that include the parameter (i.e. the `PDFPrintServiceFactory` instances) it actually contains just a normal Object.
Hence it seems much more reasonable to actually pass a valid `AnnotationStorage`-instance, as the name suggests, and simply have `PDFPageProxy.render` do the `annotationStorage.getAll()` call. (Since we cannot send an `AnnotationStorage`-instance as-is to the worker-thread, given the "structured clone algorithm".)
Over time we used multiple different formats for JSDoc comments. This
commit standardizes those formats to the one we used most often.
Moreover, this removes the example in the outline endpoint documentation
since it now has a proper type definition and it didn't render correctly
in JSDoc.
This commit:
- formats the documentation block according to the standards;
- replaces the callback definitions with the `function` type (we have
that for other definitions already and the callback type was not
rendered correctly by JSDoc);
- synchronizes the type documentation and the class documentation;
- fixes the documentation by making it easier to read and making sure
that all optional properties are indicated as such;
- uses the `@link` tag to indicate links to other code.
The `typestest` still passes and JSDoc now renders this class correctly.
Add a new method to the API to get the optional content configuration. Add
a new render task param that accepts the above configuration.
For now, the optional content is not controllable by the user in
the viewer, but renders with the default configuration in the PDF.
All of the test files added exhibit different uses of optional content.
Fixes#269.
Fix test to work with optional content.
- Change the stopAtErrors test to ensure the operator list has something,
instead of asserting the exact number of operators.
