With PR 10675 having fixed the completely broken `disableRange=true` setting in the Firefox version of PDF.js, I couldn't help but noticing that loading progress is never reported properly in that case.
Currently loading progress is only reported for the `rangeProgress` chrome-event, which obviously isn't dispatched with `disableRange=true` set. However, the `progressiveRead` chrome-event includes loading progress as well, but this information isn't being used in any way.
Furthermore, the `PDFDataRangeTransport.onDataProgress` method wasn't able to handle "complete" loading information, and neither was `PDFDataTransportStream._onProgress` since that method would only ever attempt to report it through a RangeReader (which won't exist when `disableRange=true` is set).
Currently if trying to set `disableRange=true` in the built-in PDF Viewer in Firefox, either through `about:config` or via the URL hash, the PDF document will never load. It appears that this has been broken for a couple of years, without anyone noticing.
Obviously it's not a good idea to set `disableRange=true`, however it seems that this bug affects the PDF Viewer in Firefox even with default settings:
- In the case where `initialData` already contains the *entire* file, we're forced to dispatch a range request to re-fetch already available data just so that file loading may complete.
- (In the case where the data arrives, via streaming, before being specifically requested through `requestDataRange`, we're also forced to re-fetch data unnecessarily.) *This part was removed, to reduce the scope/risk of the patch somewhat.*
In the cases outlined above, we're having to re-fetch already available data thus potentially delaying loading/rendering of PDF files in Firefox (and wasting resources in the process).
This lays the necessary foundation for handling zoom events originating within the browser itself, rather than in the viewer. Please note that this will also require a follow-up patch to `mozilla-central`, such that the viewer is actually notified when zooming occurs.
As outlined in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1282759 the internal Firefox name for the feature is `entireWord`, hence that name is used here as well for consistency (with "Whole words" being limited to the UI).
Given existing limitations of the PDF.js search functionality, e.g. the existing problems of searching across "new lines", there's some edge-cases where "Whole words" searching will ignore (valid) results.
However, considering that this is a pre-existing issue related to the way that the find controller joins text-content together, that shouldn't have to block this new feature in my opionion.
*Please note:* In order to enable this feature in the `MOZCENTRAL` version, a small follow-up patch for [PdfjsChromeUtils.jsm](https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/browser/extensions/pdfjs/content/PdfjsChromeUtils.jsm) will be required once this has landed in `mozilla-central`.
For the `PDFFindBar` implementation, similar to the native Firefox findbar, the matches count displayed is now limited to a (hopefully) reasonable value.
*Please note:* In order to enable this feature in the `MOZCENTRAL` version, a follow-up patch will be required once this has landed in `mozilla-central`.
This moves/exposes the `URL` polyfill similarily to the existing `ReadableStream` polyfill, rather than exposing it globally, to avoid interfering with any "outside" code.
Both the `URL` and `ReadableStream` polyfills are now exposed on the `pdfjsLib` object, such that they are accessible to the viewer components.
Furthermore, the `no-restricted-globals` ESLint rule is also enabled to prevent accidental usage of the native `URL`/`ReadableStream` implementations directly in the `src/` and `web/` folders; see also https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-restricted-globals
Addresses the remaining TODO in https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/projects/6
Please see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/object-shorthand.
For the most part, these changes are of the search-and-replace kind, and the previously enabled `no-undef` rule should complement the tests in helping ensure that no stupid errors crept into to the patch.
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.
Please see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/spaced-comment.
Note that the exceptions added for `line` comments are intended to still allow use of the old preprocessor without linting errors.
Also, I took the opportunity to improve the grammar slightly (w.r.t. capitalization and punctuation) for comments touched in the patch.
