The only parameter that we actually need here is the `PDFDataRangeTransport`-instance, since the others are not necessary.
- The `url` parameter, as passed to the `getDocument` function in the API, is simply being ignored; see 2d87a2eb1c/src/display/api.js (L447-L458)
- The `length` parameter, as passed to the `getDocument` function in the API, is always being overwritten; see 2d87a2eb1c/src/display/api.js (L519-L525)
- this way the context menu in Firefox can take into account what we
have in the clipboard, if an editor is selected, ...
- when the user will click on a context menu item, an action will be
triggered, hence this patch adds what is required to handle it;
- some tests will be added in the Firefox' patch.
After the changes in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1757771, that simplified the MOZCENTRAL downloading code, the `ChromeActions.download`-method will no longer invoke the `sendResponse`-callback.
Hence it should no longer be necessary for the `DownloadManager`, in the MOZCENTRAL viewer, to use `FirefoxCom.requestAsync` since no response is ever provided.[1] For the allocated BlobURLs, they should (hopefully) be released when navigating away from the viewer.
---
[1] Note that that was *already* the case, for one of the previous code-paths in the `ChromeActions.download`-method.
After the changes in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1757771, that simplified the MOZCENTRAL downloading code, the `sourceEventType` is now completely unused and should thus be removed (in my opinion).
Furthermore, with these changes, we also no longer need a *separate* internal "save"-event and can instead just use the older "download"-event everywhere.
- get original index in using a dichotomic seach instead of a linear one;
- normalize the text in using NFD;
- convert the query string into a RegExp;
- replace whitespaces in the query with \s+;
- handle hyphens at eol use to break a word;
- add some \s* around punctuation signs
This is a follow-up to PR 10675, since there I completely overlooked that we also need to handle the case where a PDF document has *failed* to load when the "supportsRangedLoading" message is sent to the viewer.
Looking at the code, I do have to agree with the point made in issue 12731 about it being unexpected/unhelpful that the `PDFFindController.executeCommand`-method isn't directly usable with the "find"-event.
The reason for it being this way is, as so often, for historical reasons: The `executeCommand`-method was added (just) prior to the introduction of the `EventBus` in the viewer.
Obviously we cannot simply change the existing `PDFFindController.executeCommand`-method, since that'd be a breaking change in code which has existed for over five years.
Initially I figured that we could simply add a new method in `PDFFindController` that'd accept the state from the "find"-event, however after thinking about this and looking through the use-cases in the default viewer I settled on a slightly different approach: Let the `PDFFindController` just listen for the "find"-event (on the `EventBus`-instance) directly instead, which also removes one level of (unneeded) indirection during searching in the default viewer.
For GENERIC builds of the PDF.js library, the old `PDFFindController.executeCommand`-method is still available with a deprecation warning.
Rather than having to spell out the English fallback strings at *every* single `IL10n.get` call-site throughout the viewer, we can simplify things by collecting them in *one* central spot.
This provides a much better overview of the fallback l10n strings used, which makes future changes easier and ensures that fallback strings occuring in multiple places cannot accidentally get out of sync.
Furthermore, by making the `fallback` parameter of the `IL10n.get` method *optional*[1] many of the call-sites (and their surrounding code) become a lot less verbose.
---
[1] It's obviously still possible to pass in a fallback string, it's just not required.
Note how the `PDFAttachmentViewer` handles PDF file attachments specially, by opening them in a new window/tab, rather than forcing them to be downloaded. This is done to improve the overall UX, since browsers in general are able to handle PDF files internally.
However, for file *annotations* we're currently not attempting to do the same thing and are instead just downloading them directly. In order to unify the behaviour, without having to duplicate a lot of code, the opening of PDF file attachments is thus moved into a new `DownloadManager.openOrDownloadData` method.
Note how the `onerror` functionality is not being used in the GENERIC `DownloadManager`, since we have no way of knowing if downloading succeeded.
Hence this functionality is only *possibly* useful in MOZCENTRAL builds, however as outlined in the existing comments it's unlikely to be helpful in practice. Generally speaking, if downloading failed once in [`PdfStreamConverter.jsm`](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/809ac3660845fef6faf18ec210232fdadc0f1ad9/toolkit/components/pdfjs/content/PdfStreamConverter.jsm#294-406) it seems very likely that it would fail again; all-in-all I'm thus suggesting that we just remove the `onerror` functionality altogether here.
There's a fair number of cases where `FirefoxCom.request`-calls are manually wrapped in a Promise to make it asynchronous. We can reduce the amount of boilerplate code in these cases by introducing a new `FirefoxCom.requestAsync` method instead.
Furthermore, a couple of `FirefoxCom.request`-calls in the `DownloadManager` are also changed to be asynchronous rather than using callback-functions.
With this patch, we're thus able to replace a lot of *direct* usages of `FirefoxCom.request` with the new `FirefoxCom.requestAsync` method instead.
*Please note:* It's highly recommended to ignore whitespace-only changes when looking at this patch.
Besides modernizing this code, by converting it to a standard class, the existing JSDoc comments are updated to actually agree better with the way that this functionality is used now. (The next patch will reduce usage of `FirefoxCom.request` significantly, hence the JSDocs for the optional `callback` is removed to not unnecessarily advertise that functionality.)
Finally, the unnecessary/unused `return` statement at the end of `FirefoxCom.request` is also removed.
This is the "modern" way of removing a node from the DOM, which has the benefit of being a lot shorter and more concise.
Also, this patch removes the `return` statement from the "pdf.js.response" event listener, since it's always `undefined`, given that none of the `callback`-functions used here ever return anything (and don't need to either). Generally speaking, returning a value from an event listener isn't normally necessary either.
This method currently accepts a callback-function, which does feel a bit old fashioned now. At the time that this code was introduced, native Promises didn't exist yet and there's a custom Promise-implementation used instead.
However, today with Promises and async/await being used *a lot* it seems reasonable to change `DefaultExternalServices.fallback` to an `async` method instead such that the callback-function can be removed.
Similar to e.g. the "locale" option, this in *only* done for those build-targets where the "sandboxBundleSrc" is actually defined.
With these changes we can remove an `AppOptions` dependency from the `web/generic_scripting.js` file, thus limiting *direct* `AppOptions` usage in the default viewer files.
For DOM events all event names are lower-case, and the newly added PDF.js scripting-events thus "stick out" quite a bit. Even more so, considering that our internal `eventBus`-events follow the same naming convention.
Hence this patch, which changes the "updateFromSandbox"/"dispatchEventInSandbox" events to be lower-case instead.
Furthermore, using DOM events for communication *within* the PDF.js code itself (i.e. between code in `web/app.js` and `src/display/annotation_layer.js/`) feels *really* out of place.
That's exactly the reason that we have the `EventBus` abstraction, since it allowed us to remove prior use of DOM events, and this patch thus re-factors the code to make use of the `EventBus` instead for scripting-related events.
Obviously for events targeting a *specific element* using DOM events is still fine, but the "updatefromsandbox"/"dispatcheventinsandbox" ones should be using the `EventBus` internally.
*Drive-by change:* Use the `BaseViewer.currentScaleValue` setter unconditionally in `PDFViewerApplication._initializeJavaScript`, since it accepts either a string or a number.
* move set/clear|Timeout/Interval and crackURL code in pdf.js
* remove the "backdoor" in the proxy (used to dispatch event) and so return the dispatch function in the initializer
* remove listeners if an error occured during sandbox initialization
* add support for alert and prompt in the sandbox
* add a function to eval in the global scope
Given that the GENERIC default viewer supports opening more than one document, and that a unique scripting-instance is now used for each document, the changes made in this patch seem appropriate.
* 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
This fixes only those warnings, as reported by https://lgtm.com/projects/g/mozilla/pdf.js?mode=list, that make sense (as far as I'm concerned).
Hence this patch leaves the following things unaddressed:
- The "recommendation"-category, since it only complains about unused variables. However, note that all of those cases are purposely included and that there's thus ESLint-disable comments added to explictly allow them.
- The "warning"-category, which still contains two complaints. However, as far as I can tell, they are both false positives.
Given first of all the false positives of the LGTM static analyzer, and secondly that we'd need to add (essentially duplicated) disable-comments for the unused variable cases, it's not entirely clear to me if we actually want to work towards including LGTM in the PDF.js project (e.g. running alongside Travis) or if we should just close issue 11965.
- Return early in `PDFViewerApplication._initializeJavaScript` for PDF documents without any `fieldObjects`, which is the vast majority of all documents, to prevent errors when trying to parse a non-existent object.
- Similar to the other `PDFViewerApplication._initialize*` methods, ignore the `fieldObjects` if the document was closed before the data resolved.
- Fix the JSDoc comment for the `generateRandomStringForSandbox` helper function, since there's currently a bit too much copy-and-paste going on :-)
- Change `FirefoxScripting` to a class with static methods, which is consistent with the surrounding code in `web/firefoxcom.js`.

This allows Firefox trigger a "save" event from ctrl/cmd+s or the "Save
Page As" context menu, which in turn lets pdf.js generate a new PDF if
there is form data to save.
I also now use `sourceEventType` on downloads so Firefox can determine if
it should launch the "open with" dialog or "save as" dialog.
Prior to PR 11601, the `disableCreateObjectURL` option was present on `getDocument` in the API, since it was (potentially) used when decoding JPEG images natively in the browser. Hence setting this option, which was done automatically using compatibility-code, were in some browsers necessary in order for e.g. JPEG images to be correctly rendered.
The downside of the `disableCreateObjectURL` option is that memory usage increases significantly, since we're forced to build and use `data:` URIs (rather than `blob:` URLs).
However, at this point in time the `disableCreateObjectURL` option is only necessary for *some* (non-essential) functionality in the default viewer; in particular:
- The openfile functionality, used only when manually opening a new file in the default viewer.
- The download functionality, used when downloading either the PDF document itself or its attached files (if such exists).
- The print functionality, in the generic `PDFPrintService` implementation.
Hence neither the general PDF.js library, nor the *basic* functionality of the default viewer, depends on the `disableCreateObjectURL` option any more; which is why I'm thus proposing that we remove the option since using it is a performance footgun.
*Please note:* To not outright break currently "supported" browsers, which lack proper `URL.createObjectURL` support, this patch purposely keeps the compatibility-code to explicitly disable `URL.createObjectURL` usage *only* for browsers which are known to not work correctly.[1]
While it's certainly possible that there's additional, likely older, browsers with broken `URL.createObjectURL` support, the last time that these types of problems were reported was over *three* years ago.[2]
Hence in the *very* unlikely event that additional problems occur, as a result of these changes, we can either add a new case in the compatibility-code or simply declare the affected browser as unsupported.
---
[1] Which are IE11 (see issue 3977), and Google Chrome on iOS (see PR 8081).
[2] Given that `URL.createObjectURL` is used by default, you'd really expect more reports if these problems were widespread.
Given that `URL.createObjectURL` is assumed to always be available in MOZCENTRAL builds, note the existing usage in the file, there's no reason to depend on the PDF.js helper function `createObjectURL` at all here.
Furthermore this patch also changes `DownloadManager.downloadData` to actually revoke the `blobUrl` after downloading has completed, which is similar to the existing code in `DownloadManager.download`.
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).
This functionality was only added to the default viewer for backwards compatibility and to support the various PDF viewer tests in mozilla-central, with the intention to eventually remove it completely.
While the different mozilla-central tests cannot be *easily* converted from DOM events, it's however possible to limit that functionality to only MOZCENTRAL builds *and* when tests are running.
Rather than depending of the re-dispatching of internal events to the DOM, the default viewer can instead be used in e.g. the following way:
```javascript
document.addEventListener("webviewerloaded", function() {
PDFViewerApplication.initializedPromise.then(function() {
// The viewer has now been initialized, and its properties can be accessed.
PDFViewerApplication.eventBus.on("pagerendered", function(event) {
console.log("Has rendered page number: " + event.pageNumber);
});
});
});
```
After PR 9566, which removed all of the old Firefox extension code, the `FIREFOX` build flag is no longer used for anything.
It thus seems to me that it should be removed, for a couple of reasons:
- It's simply dead code now, which only serves to add confusion when looking at the `PDFJSDev` calls.
- It used to be that `MOZCENTRAL` and `FIREFOX` was *almost* always used together. However, ever since PR 9566 there's obviously been no effort put into keeping the `FIREFOX` build flags up to date.
- In the event that a new, Webextension based, Firefox addon is created in the future you'd still need to audit all `MOZCENTRAL` (and possibly `CHROME`) build flags to see what'd make sense for the addon.
With https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=844349 now being fixed in Firefox, the textLayer will now actually stay hidden as intended regardless of the browser settings.
Hence it should no longer be necessary to display the fallback bar, nor print a warning in the console, for documents which contains a textLayer.
Besides removing the `supportsDocumentColors` methods in the default viewer, we can also remove a now unused l10n string.
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).
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.)
Sometimes we also used `@return`, but `@returns` is what the JSDoc
documentation recommends. Even though `@return` works as an alias, it's
good to use the recommended syntax and to be consistent within the
project.
