Since the goal has always been, essentially since the `EventBus` abstraction was added, to remove all dispatching of DOM events[1] from the viewer components this patch tries to address one thing that came up when updating the examples:
The DOM events are always dispatched last, and it's thus guaranteed that all internal event listeners have been invoked first.
However, there's no such guarantees with the general `EventBus` functionality and the order in which event listeners are invoked is *not* specified. With the promotion of the `EventBus` in the examples, over DOM events, it seems like a good idea to at least *try* to keep this ordering invariant[2] intact.
Obviously this won't prevent anyone from manually calling the new *internal* viewer component methods on the `EventBus`, but hopefully that won't be too common since any existing third-party code would obviously use the `on`/`off` methods and that all of the examples shows the *correct* usage (which should be similarily documented on the "Third party viewer usage" Wiki-page).

[1] Looking at the various Firefox-tests, I'm not sure that it'll be possible to (easily) re-write all of them to not rely on DOM events (since getting access to `PDFViewerApplication` might be generally difficult/messy depending on scopes).
In any case, even if technically feasible, it would most likely add *a lot* of complication that may not be desireable in the various Firefox-tests. All-in-all, I'd be fine with keeping the DOM events only for the `MOZCENTRAL` target and gated on `Cu.isInAutomation` (or similar) rather than a preference.
[2] I wouldn't expect any *real* bugs in a custom implementation, simply based on event ordering, but it nonetheless seem like a good idea if any "external" events are still handled last.
This should hopefully be useful in environments where restrictive CSPs are in effect.
In most cases the replacement is entirely straighforward, and there's only a couple of special cases:
- For the `src/display/font_loader.js` and `web/pdf_outline_viewer.js `cases, since the elements aren't appended to the document yet, it shouldn't matter if the style properties are set one-by-one rather than all at once.
- For the `web/debugger.js` case, there's really no need to set the `padding` inline at all and the definition was simply moved to `web/viewer.css` instead.
*Please note:* There's still *a single* case left, in `web/toolbar.js` for setting the width of the zoom dropdown, which is left intact for now.
The reasons are that this particular case shouldn't matter for users of the general PDF.js library, and that it'd make a lot more sense to just try and re-factor that very old code anyway (thus fixing the `setAttribute` usage in the process).
In order to eventually get rid of SystemJS and start using native `import`s instead, we'll need to provide "complete" file identifiers since otherwise there'll be MIME type errors when attempting to use `import`.
Please find additional details about the ESLint rule at https://eslint.org/docs/rules/prefer-const
Note that this patch is generated automatically, by using the ESLint `--fix` argument, and will thus require some additional clean-up (which is done separately).
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.)
Sometimes we also used `@return` or `@returns`, but `@type` is what
the JSDoc documentation recommends. This also improves the documentation
because before this commit the types were not shown and now they are.
There's a bunch of code, in the viewer, which for historical reasons use `switch` statements to add and remove CSS classes.
This code can be simplified, and unnecessary duplication avoided, by using `classList.toggle` instead.
The intention with preferences such as `sidebarViewOnLoad`/`scrollModeOnLoad`/`spreadModeOnLoad` were always that they should be able to *unconditionally* override their view history counterparts.
Due to the way that these preferences were initially implemented[1], trying to e.g. force the sidebar to remain hidden on load cannot be guaranteed[2]. The reason for this is the use of "enumeration values" containing zero, which in hindsight was an unfortunate choice on my part.
At this point it's also not as simple as just re-numbering the affected structures, since that would wreak havoc on existing (modified) preferences. The only reasonable solution that I was able to come up with was to change the *default* values of the preferences themselves, but not their actual values or the meaning thereof.
As part of the refactoring, the `disablePageMode` preference was combined with the *adjusted* `sidebarViewOnLoad` one, to hopefully reduce confusion by not tracking related state separately.
Additionally, the `showPreviousViewOnLoad` and `disableOpenActionDestination` preferences were combined into a *new* `viewOnLoad` enumeration preference, to further avoid tracking related state separately.
Given that the non-default Spread modes (currently) doesn't affect the page layout when horizontal scrolling is enabled, having the Spread buttons appear active when clicking them appears to do *nothing* is probably confusing rather than helpful to users.
If the current viewer is a `PDFSinglePageViewer` instance the Scroll/Spread modes are no-ops, hence displaying buttons that do *nothing* when clicked will probably do very little besides confuse users.
The names 'resetscrollmode'/'resetspreadmode' were probably *not* great choices, given that the only thing being reset are toolbar buttons and not the actual Scroll/Spread modes. Furthermore, there's really no need for two separate events here.
The patch also adds a comment that ought to have been included in PR 9040, to prevent future refactoring/removing of what may appear to be an unnecessary `Promise.resolve` call.
Since the Scroll/Spread modes are now document specific, as all other properties such as page/scale/rotation, ensure that the toolbar is always correctly reset.
The Secondary Toolbar buttons for, not to mention the actual toggling of, Scroll/Spread modes are currently completely broken in older browsers (such as IE11).
As a follow-up, it'd probably be a good idea to try and find a *feature complete* `classList` polyfill that could be used instead, but this patch at least addresses the immediate regression.
Please refer to the compatibility information in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/classList#Browser_compatibility
This builds on the scrolling mode work to add three buttons for joining
page spreads together: one for the default view, with no page spreads,
and two for spreads starting on odd-numbered or even-numbered pages.
With the current way that the `HandTool` is implemented, if someone would try to also add a Zoom tool (as issue 1260 asks for) that probably wouldn't work very well given that you'd then have two cursor tools which may not play nice together.
Hence this patch, which attempts to refactor things so that it should be simpler to add e.g. a Zoom tool as well (given that that issue is marked as "good-beginner-bug", and I'm not sure if that really applies considering the current state of the code).
Note that I personally have no interest in implementing a Zoom tool (similar to Adobe Reader) since I wouldn't use it, but I figured that it can't hurt to make this code a bit more future proof.
Note that as discussed on IRC, this makes the viewer slightly slower to load *only* in `gulp server` mode, however the difference seem slight enough that I think it will be fine.
There's really no good reason to attempt to adjust the `max-height` of the `SecondaryToolbar` when it's not visible, so let's not do that anymore.
Also, we can listen for the `resize` event in `SecondaryToolbar`, to avoid having to manually call the `max-height` adjust function from various event handlers in `app.js`. Please note that by always adjusting the `max-height` when the toolbar is opened we no longer need the `localized` event, since it was mainly used to set a correct inital `max-height` value.
This patch:
- Simplifies the way fields are passed to the document properties overlay
- Simplifies the way fields are filled internally in the document properties overlay
- Avoids passing a document properties reference to the secondary toolbar
This patch:
- Adds a couple of utility methods to `PDFViewer` to enable checking `presentationModeState` without cumbersome comparisons.
- Disentangles `PresentationMode` from `PDFHistory` and `HandTool`, by adding event listeners for `presentationmodechanged` to both of them.
- Adds a utility function to `PDFViewerApplication` for requesting PresentationMode.
- Prevents initialization of `PresentationMode` if the browser does not support the fullscreen API.
