According to https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v7/configuring-npm/package-json#version, the "version" field is not required[1]:
> If you don't plan to publish your package, the name and version fields are optional.
Hence it shouldn't be necessary to have a "dummy" `version` field in the `package.json` file, and it seems quite unfortunate to have an essentially meaningless entry in that file.[2]
Furthermore, I'd even go as far as suggesting that it's actually doing more harm than good in practice, since it's not uncommon for people to open issues where they simply quote the `package.json`-entry when filling out the ISSUE_TEMPLATE thus causing confusion as to which *exact* version is actually used.
Unless I'm misremembering, I believe that the only reason for adding the `version` field was that is was necessary in order for things to work back when testing was run on Travis.
Now we're using GitHub Actions instead, where things seem to work just find even without a `version` field; hence why I think it makes sense to remove this.

[1] Please note that this patch doesn't affect the `pdfjs-dist` package, since the `package.json` file used there is created in `gulpfile.js` during building.
[2] Trying to, automatically, update the `version` field on *every* commit really doesn't seem worth it to me.
By adding basic linting of JSON files, we can ensure that they're actually valid and prevent e.g. test-failures caused by *accidental* errors when editing the `test/test_manifest.json` file (something that I've done *many* times myself).
For now this simply uses the `recommended` configuration, but we can obviously tweak this later if/when needed. Please find additional information at https://github.com/azeemba/eslint-plugin-json
Given that `DOMMatrix` is, unsurprisingly, not supported in Node.js the `createMatrix` helper function in `src/display/pattern_helper.js` is most likely broken in Node.js environments. It will obviously try to fallback to the `DOMSVGFactory`, however that isn't intended for Node.js usage and errors will be thrown.
Rather than trying to implement a `NodeSVGFactory`, this patch takes the easier route of just adding a `DOMMatrix` polyfill using: https://www.npmjs.com/package/dommatrix
This isn't done only for simplicity, but it'll become necessary anyway since the `createMatrix` helper function is only temporary and will be removed in the future.
While I wasn't able to figure out *exactly* why the old format didn't work, re-factoring the `parseOptions` function to use `yargs` differently "just worked" so that's hopefully good enough here.
With these changes everything related to a *particular* option now appears in one place, rather than being spread out, which aids readability in my opinion. Also, the options are now sorted alphabetically, to make it easier to find a particular one.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/yargs
I've successfully run `gulp mozcentral` and `gulp generic` locally, with/without this patch and diff-ed the *built* `web/viewer.css` files. There were no changes, in the build-output, caused by this update.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/postcss-calc
There's built-in ESLint rule, see `sort-imports`, to ensure that all `import`-statements are sorted alphabetically, since that often helps with readability.
Unfortunately there's no corresponding rule to sort `export`-statements alphabetically, however there's an ESLint plugin which does this; please see https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-sort-exports
The only downside here is that it's not automatically fixable, but the re-ordering is a one-time "cost" and the plugin will help maintain a *consistent* ordering of `export`-statements in the future.
*Note:* To reduce the possibility of introducing any errors here, the re-ordering was done by simply selecting the relevant lines and then using the built-in sort-functionality of my editor.
Given the somewhat "specialized" nature of the `pdf.sandbox.js` building, it ought to be possible to re-factor how some of the options are handled.
Note in particular that the `gulp-strip-comments` dependency seems somewhat unncessary, since the *main* source of comments are just the default license header. Hence I seems much more reasonable to simply not include that to begin with, rather than removing it after the fact (the few remaining Webpack-related should be few/small enough to not really matter much in practice).
This way we're able to further reduce the special-casing related to the `pdf.sandbox.js`-building, which will make future changes/maintenance easier by bringing this code more in-line with existing patterns in `gulpfile.js`.
(If we really want to reduce the filesize, we might want to consider always minifying the `GENERIC`-build of the `pdf.sandbox.js` file.)
* 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
The only noticeable changes are that the built files are now *slightly* smaller, and that Webpack now supports optional chaining and nullish coalescing without the need for Babel plugins.
I've run `gulp mozcentral`, `gulp generic`, and `gulp generic-es5` with `master` respectively this patch and then diffed the build output. With the (obvious) exception of increased version/build numbers, there were no actual changes from the updated Acorn version.
The changelogs of those dependencies showed no breaking changes for us.
Most of the time the major version bump was done to remove compatibility
with very outdated Node.js versions.
Only for `autoprefixer` and `gulp-postcss` a change was required, which
is including `postcss` in our `package.json` explicitly since it's now
a peer dependency of those packages.
Now only `acorn`,`systemjs`, `terser` and `yargs` are not the latest
versions because they require more work.
This release contains support for additional modern ECMAScript features, such as e.g. the nullish coalescing operator `??` and the optional chaining operator `?.`.
Given that the long-standing `webpack-stream` issue 201 was recently fixed in PR 207, and a new version released, we should now finally be able to update the dependency.
However, depending on if/when `webpack-stream` gets support for Webpack 5 (which is currently in beta) we may still want remove our `webpack-stream` dependency.
This is *similar* to the existing linting for JavaScript files, but covers CSS files instead.
While there's a lot of rules that could potentially be used, the main advantage of using Stylelint is that it has Prettier integration which means that we can automatically enforce a *consistent* style for our CSS files as well.
As a proof of concept, this patch is purposely limited to:
- Adding a simple rule, here `block-no-empty` is chosen; see https://stylelint.io/user-guide/rules/block-no-empty
- Adding Prettier integration, to unify the style of our CSS files.
Please find additional information at https://stylelint.io/
This is possible now that most intermittent unit test failures have been
resolved by other patches. There is only one remaining, but it's very
rare and doesn't have to block this update anymore.
This PR adds typescript definitions from the JSDoc already present.
It adds a new gulp-target 'types' that calls 'tsc', the typescript
compiler, to create the definitions.
To use the definitions, users can simply do the following:
```
import {getDocument, GlobalWorkerOptions} from "pdfjs-dist";
import pdfjsWorker from "pdfjs-dist/build/pdf.worker.entry";
GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc = pdfjsWorker;
const pdf = await getDocument("file:///some.pdf").promise;
```

Jasmine >= 3.6.0 causes intermittent test failures because of random
task abortions.
Puppeteer >= 4.0.0 causes ENOTEMPTY/EBUSY errors during shutdown on the
Windows bot.
Moreover, `jasmine-core` is a dependency of `jasmine` so it doesn't have
to be required separately.
Versions of `needle` prior to `2.5.0` cannot cope with redirects (as documented: https://github.com/tomas/needle/issues/312).
This prevents prebuilt `canvas` binaries from being downloaded on MacOS,
requiring the global install of its dependencies.
Updating Needle restores it to functionality, addressing this. It also avoids
the need to add `request` to `package.json`; it also obsoletes https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/pull/12018.
By updating to the new major version of Acorn, we'll get support for newer ECMAScript features as they become available (although some features are currently also blocked by ESLint support and/or SystemJS usage).
Please see https://github.com/acornjs/acorn/releases/tag/7.2.0 for details.
With these changes SystemJS is now only used, during development, on the worker-thread and in the unit/font-tests, since Firefox is currently missing support for worker modules; please see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1247687
Hence all the JavaScript files in the `web/` and `src/display/` folders are now loaded *natively* by the browser (during development) using standard `import` statements/calls, thanks to a nice `import-maps` polyfill.
*Please note:* As soon as https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1247687 is fixed in Firefox, we should be able to remove all traces of SystemJS and thus finally be able to use every possible modern JavaScript feature.
This commit replaces our own infrastructure for handling browsers during
tests with Puppeteer. Using our own infrastructure for this had a few
downsides:
- It has proven to not always be reliable, especially when closing the
browser, causing failures on the bots because browsers were still
running even though they should have been stopped. Puppeteer should do
a better job with this because it uses the browser's test built-in
instrumentation tools for this (the devtools protocol) which our code
didn't. This also means that we don't have to pass
parameters/preferences to tweak browser behavior anymore.
- It requires the browsers under test to be installed on the system,
whereas Puppeteer downloads the browsers before the test. This means
that setup is much easier (no more manual installations and browser
manifest files) as well as testing with different browser versions
(since they can be provisioned on demand). Moreover, this ensures that
contributors always run the tests in both Firefox and Chrome,
regardless of which browsers they have installed locally.
- It's all code we have to maintain, so Puppeteer abstracts away how the
browsers start/stop for us so we don't have to keep that code.
By default, Puppeteer only installs one browser during installation,
hence the need for a post-install script to install the second browser.
This requires `cross-env` to make passing the environment variable work
on both Linux and Windows.
Please note that these changes were done automatically, using `gulp lint --fix`.
Given that the major version number was increased, there's a fair number of (primarily whitespace) changes; please see https://prettier.io/blog/2020/03/21/2.0.0.html
In order to reduce the size of these changes somewhat, this patch maintains the old "arrowParens" style for now (once mozilla-central updates Prettier we can simply choose the same formatting, assuming it will differ here).
