At this point in time all browsers, and also Node.js, support standard `import`/`export` statements and we can now finally consider outputting modern JavaScript modules in the builds.[1]
In order for this to work we can *only* use proper `import`/`export` statements throughout the main code-base, and (as expected) our Node.js support made this much more complicated since both the official builds and the GitHub Actions-based tests must keep working.[2]
One remaining issue is that the `pdf.scripting.js` file cannot be built as a JavaScript module, since doing so breaks PDF scripting.
Note that my initial goal was to try and split these changes into a couple of commits, however that unfortunately didn't really work since it turned out to be difficult for smaller patches to work correctly and pass (all) tests that way.[3]
This is a classic case of every change requiring a couple of other changes, with each of those changes requiring further changes in turn and the size/scope quickly increasing as a result.
One possible "issue" with these changes is that we'll now only output JavaScript modules in the builds, which could perhaps be a problem with older tools. However it unfortunately seems far too complicated/time-consuming for us to attempt to support both the old and modern module formats, hence the alternative would be to do "nothing" here and just keep our "old" builds.[4]

[1] The final blocker was module support in workers in Firefox, which was implemented in Firefox 114; please see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import#browser_compatibility
[2] It's probably possible to further improve/simplify especially the Node.js-specific code, but it does appear to work as-is.
[3] Having partially "broken" patches, that fail tests, as part of the commit history is *really not* a good idea in general.
[4] Outputting JavaScript modules was first requested almost five years ago, see issue 10317, and nowadays there *should* be much better support for JavaScript modules in various tools.
In PR #15757, a value is automatically converted into a number when it's possible
but the case of numbers like "000123" has been overlooked and their format must
be preserved.
When a script is doing something like "foo.value + bar.value" and the values are
numbers then "foo.value" must return a number but the displayed value must be what
the user entered or what a script set, so this patch is just adding a a field
_orginalValue in order to track the value has it has defined.
Some people are used to use a comma as decimal separator, hence it must be considered
when a value is parsed into a number.
This patch is fixing a regression introduced by #15757.
- Fix Field::getArray in order to collect only the fields which have a value;
- Fix AFSimple_Calculate:
* allow to have a string with a list of field names as argument;
* since a field can be non-terminal, use Field::getArray to collect
the field under it and then apply the calculation on all the descendants.
- since resetForm function reset a field value a calculateNow is consequently triggered.
But the calculate callback can itself call resetForm, hence an infinite recursive loop.
So basically, prevent calculeNow to be triggered by itself.
- in Firefox, the letters entered in some fields were duplicated: "AaBb" instead of "AB".
It was mainly because beforeInput was triggering a Keystroke which was itself triggering
an input value update and then the input event was triggered.
So in order to avoid that, beforeInput calls preventDefault and then it's up to the JS to
handle the event.
- fields have a property valueAsString which returns the value as a string. In the
implementation it was wrongly used to store the formatted value of a field (2€ when the user
entered 2). So this patch implements correctly valueAsString.
- non-rendered fields can be updated in using JS but when they're, they must take some properties
in the annotationStorage. It was implemented for field values, but it wasn't for
display, colors, ...
- it fixes#14862 and #14705.
The done callbacks are an outdated mechanism to signal Jasmine that a
unit test is done, mostly in cases where a unit test needed to wait for
an asynchronous operation to complete before doing its assertions.
Nowadays a much better mechanism is in place for that, namely simply
passing an asynchronous function to Jasmine, so we don't need callbacks
anymore (which require more code and may be more difficult to reason
about).
In these particular cases though the done callbacks never had any real
use since nothing asynchronous happens in these places. Synchronous
functions don't need to use done callbacks since Jasmine simply knows
it's done when the function reaches its normal end, so we can safely get
rid of these callbacks. The telltale sign is if the done callback is
used unconditionally at the end of the function.
This is all done in an effort to over time get rid of all callbacks in
the unit test code.
- strokeColor corresponds to borderColor;
- support fillColor and textColor;
- support colors on the different annotations;
- fix typo in aforms (+test).
* move set/clear|Timeout/Interval and crackURL code in pdf.js
* remove the "backdoor" in the proxy (used to dispatch event) and so return the dispatch function in the initializer
* remove listeners if an error occured during sandbox initialization
* add support for alert and prompt in the sandbox
* add a function to eval in the global scope
This simplifies not just this code, but the unit-tests as well, and should be sufficient as far as I can tell.
Note also that currently, in the *built* `pdf.sandbox.js` file, there's even a line reading `testMode = testMode && false;` because of an accidentally flipped pre-processor statement.
Finally, in the `scripting_spec.js` unit-test, defines `sandboxBundleSrc` at the top of the file to make it easier to find and/or change it when necessary.
* quickjs-eval.js has been generated using https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js.quickjs/
* lazy load of sandbox code
* Rewrite tests to use the sandbox
* Add a task `watch-sandbox` which update bundle pdf.sandbox.js on change in the sandbox code
