To avoid outright breaking third-party usages of the "viewer components" the `getGlobalEventBus` functionality is left intact, but a deprecation message is printed if the function is invoked.
The various examples are updated to *explicitly* initialize an `EventBus` instance, and provide that when initializing the relevant viewer components.
This patch makes the follow changes:
- Remove no longer necessary inline `// eslint-disable-...` comments.
- Fix `// eslint-disable-...` comments that Prettier moved down, thus causing new linting errors.
- Concatenate strings which now fit on just one line.
- Fix comments that are now too long.
- Finally, and most importantly, adjust comments that Prettier moved down, since the new positions often is confusing or outright wrong.
Note that Prettier, purposely, has only limited [configuration options](https://prettier.io/docs/en/options.html). The configuration file is based on [the one in `mozilla central`](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/.prettierrc) with just a few additions (to avoid future breakage if the defaults ever changes).
Prettier is being used for a couple of reasons:
- To be consistent with `mozilla-central`, where Prettier is already in use across the tree.
- To ensure a *consistent* coding style everywhere, which is automatically enforced during linting (since Prettier is used as an ESLint plugin). This thus ends "all" formatting disussions once and for all, removing the need for review comments on most stylistic matters.
Many ESLint options are now redundant, and I've tried my best to remove all the now unnecessary options (but I may have missed some).
Note also that since Prettier considers the `printWidth` option as a guide, rather than a hard rule, this patch resorts to a small hack in the ESLint config to ensure that *comments* won't become too long.
*Please note:* This patch is generated automatically, by appending the `--fix` argument to the ESLint call used in the `gulp lint` task. It will thus require some additional clean-up, which will be done in a *separate* commit.
(On a more personal note, I'll readily admit that some of the changes Prettier makes are *extremely* ugly. However, in the name of consistency we'll probably have to live with that.)
For performance reasons, and to avoid hanging the browser UI, the PDF.js library should *always* be used with web workers enabled.
At this point in time all of the supported browsers should have proper worker support, and Node.js is thus the only environment where workers aren't supported. Hence it no longer seems relevant/necessary to provide, by default, fake worker loaders for various JS builders/bundlers/frameworks in the PDF.js code itself.[1]
In order to simplify things, the fake worker loader code is thus simplified to now *only* support Node.js usage respectively "normal" browser usage out-of-the-box.[2]
*Please note:* The officially intended way of using the PDF.js library is with workers enabled, which can be done by setting `GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc`, `GlobalWorkerOptions.workerPort`, or manually providing a `PDFWorker` instance when calling `getDocument`.
---
[1] Note that it's still possible to *manually* disable workers, simply my manually loading the built `pdf.worker.js` file into the (current) global scope, however this's mostly intended for testing/debugging purposes.
[2] Unfortunately some bundlers such as Webpack, when used with third-party deployments of the PDF.js library, will start to print `Critical dependency: ...` warnings when run against the built `pdf.js` file from this patch. The reason is that despite the `require` calls being protected by *runtime* `isNodeJS` checks, it's not possible to simply tell Webpack to just ignore the `require`; please see [Webpack issue 8826](https://github.com/webpack/webpack) and libraries such as [require-fool-webpack](https://github.com/sindresorhus/require-fool-webpack).
This patch addresses a couple of smaller issues with the `PDFHistory` class:
- Most, if not all, other viewer components can be reset in one way or another, and there's no good reason for the `PDFHistory` implementation to be different here.
- Currently it's (technically) possible to keep adding entries to the browser history, via the `PDFHistory` instance, even after the document has been closed. That obviously makes no sense, and is caused by the lack of a `reset` method.
- The internal `this._isPagesLoaded` property was never actually reset, which would lead to it being temporarily wrong when a new document was opened in the default viewer.
This major version bump required two changes:
- The global line in the mobile viewer example should be removed because
the `.eslintrc` file already defines these globals and with the new
`eslint` version we otherwise get an error saying "'pdfjsLib' is already
defined as a built-in global variable".
- The ECMA version for the examples must be set to 6 since we're using
modules, otherwise we get an error saying "sourceType 'module' is not
supported when ecmaVersion < 2015". It turns out that the previous
version of `eslint` already used ECMA version 6 silently even though
we set 5, see https://github.com/eslint/eslint/issues/9687#issuecomment-432413384,
so in terms of our code nothing really changes.
If, as PR 10368 suggests, more parameters should be added to `getViewport` I think that it would be a mistake to not change the signature *first* to avoid needlessly unwieldy call-sites.
To not break any existing code and third-party use-cases, this is obviously implemented with a deprecation warning *and* with a working fallback[1] for the old method signature.
---
[1] This is limited to `GENERIC` builds, which should be sufficient.
This required the following changes in the Gulpfile:
- Defining a series of tasks is no longer done with arrays, but with the
`gulp.series` function. The `web` target is refactored to use a
smaller number of tasks to prevent tasks from running multiple times.
- Getting all tasks must now be done through the task registry.
- Tasks that don't return anything must call `done` upon completion.
Moreover, this upgrade allows us to use the latest Node.js on Travis CI
again.
*This patch is based on something that I noticed while working on PR 10126.*
The recent re-factoring of `PDFFindController` brought many improvements, among those the fact that access to `BaseViewer` is no longer required. However, with these changes there's one thing which now strikes me as not particularly user-friendly[1]: The fact that in order for searching to actually work, `PDFFindController.setDocument` must be called *and* a 'pagesinit' event must be dispatched (from somewhere).
For all other viewer components, calling the `setDocument` method[2] is enough in order for the component to actually be usable.
The `PDFFindController` thus stands out quite a bit, and it also becomes difficult to work with in any sort of custom implementation. For example: Imagine someone trying to use `PDFFindController` separately from the viewer[3], which *should* now be relatively simple given the re-factoring, and thus having to (somehow) figure out that they'll also need to manually dispatch a 'pagesinit' event for searching to work.
Note that the above even affects the unit-tests, where an out-of-place 'pagesinit' event is being used.
To attempt to address these problems, I'm thus suggesting that *only* `setDocument` should be used to indicate that searching may start. For the default viewer and/or the viewer components, `BaseViewer.setDocument` will now call `PDFFindController.setDocument` when the document is ready, thus requiring no outside configuration anymore[4]. For custom implementation, and the unit-tests, it's now as simple as just calling `PDFFindController.setDocument` to allow searching to start.
---
[1] I should have caught this during review of PR 10099, but unfortunately it's sometimes not until you actually work with the code in question that things like these become clear.
[2] Assuming, obviously, that the viewer component in question actually implements such a method :-)
[3] There's even a very recent issue, filed by someone trying to do just that.
[4] Short of providing a `PDFFindController` instance when creating a `BaseViewer` instance, of course.
With `PDFFindController` instances no longer (directly) depending on
`BaseViewer` instances, we can pass a single `findController` when
initializing a viewer, similar to other components.
This removes the dependency on a `PDFViewer` instance from the find
controller, which makes it more similar to other components and makes it
easier to unit test with a mock link service.
Finally, we remove the search capabilities from the SVG example since it
doesn't work there because there is no separate text layer.
Now it follows the same pattern as e.g., the document properties
component, which allows us to have one instance of the find controller
and set a new document to search upon switching documents.
Moreover, this allows us to get rid of the dependency on `pdfViewer` in
order to fetch the text content for a page. This is working towards
getting rid of the `pdfViewer` dependency upon initializing the
component entirely in future commits.
Finally, we make the `reset` method private since it's not supposed to
be used from the outside anymore now that `setDocument` takes care of
this, similar to other components.
The purpose of this patch is to provide a better default behaviour when `JpegImage` is used to parse standalone JPEG images with CMYK colour spaces.
Since the issue that the patch concerns is somewhat of a special-case, the implementation utilizes the already existing decode support in an attempt to minimize the impact w.r.t. code size.
*Please note:* It's always possible for the user of `JpegImage` to control image inversion, and thus override the new behaviour, by simply passing a custom `decodeTransform` array upon initialization.
This should provide a better out-of-the-box experience when using PDF.js in a Node.js environment, since it's missing native support for both `@font-face` and `Image`.
Please note that this change *only* affects the default values, hence it's still possible for an API consumer to override those values when calling `getDocument`.
Also, prevents "ReferenceError: document is not defined" errors, when running the unit-tests in Node.js/Travis.
We need to pass `disableFontFace` and `nativeImageDecoderSupport`
because Node.js has no native support for `@font-face` and `Image`.
Doing so makes it possible to render e.g., the Tracemonkey paper, which
failed before. I made this PDF file the default because it's also the
default in other examples/demos and because it showcases the
possibilities better than the very simple hello world PDF file.
Building the library with `gulp dist-install` is easier and is already
recommended in the other examples.
Rather than having two different (but connected) options for the textLayer, I think that it makes sense to try and unify this. For example: currently if `disableTextLayer === true`, then the value of `enhanceTextSelection` is simply ignored.
Since PDF.js version `2.0` already won't be backwards compatible in lots of ways, I don't think that we need to worry about migrating existing preferences here.
This removes the `PDFJS.useOnlyCssZoom` dependency from the viewer components, but please note that as a *temporary* solution the default viewer still uses it.
