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.)
There's a number of spots in the current code, and tests, where `cancel` methods are not called with appropriate arguments (leading to Promises not being rejected with Errors as intended).
In some cases the cancel `reason` is implicitly set to `undefined`, and in others the cancel `reason` is just a plain String. To address this inconsistency, the patch changes things such that cancelling is done with `AbortException`s everywhere instead.
Support for the non-standard `moz-chunked-arraybuffer` response type is in the process of being removed from Firefox; see e.g. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1411865
For the time being, you probably want to keep support for this in the general PDF.js library given that feature detection is used. However, removing the unit-test immediately seems reasonable, since it will otherwise start failing once the platform support for `moz-chunked-arraybuffer` is gone.
Fixes 8851; please note that if unit-tests for the code in `fetch_stream.js` are wanted, which I'm assuming they are, those should live in their own file rather than being lumped into `network_spec.js` anyway.
*This patch is the result of me starting to look into moving parameters from `PDFJS` into `getDocument` and other API methods.*
When familiarizing myself with the code, the signatures of the various network streams seemed to be unnecessarily cumbersome since `disableRange` is currently handled separately from other parameters.
I'm assuming that the explanation for this is probably "for historical reasons", as is often the case. Hence I'd like to clean this up *before* we start the larger, and more invasive, `PDFJS` parameter re-factoring.
Please see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-unused-vars; note that this patch purposely uses the same rule options as in `mozilla-central`, such that it fixes part of issue 7957.
It wasn't, in my opinion, entirely straightforward to enable this rule compared to the already existing rules. In many cases a `var descriptiveName = ...` format was used (more or less) to document the code, and I choose to place the old variable name in a trailing comment to not lose that information.
I welcome feedback on these changes, since it wasn't always entirely easy to know what changes made the most sense in every situation.
