In order to fix bug 1935076, we'll have to add a pure js fallback in case wasm is disabled
or simd isn't supported. Unfortunately, this fallback will take some space.
So, the main goal of this patch is to reduce the overall size (by ~93k).
As a side effect, it should make easier to use an other wasm file (which must export
_jp2_decode, _malloc and _free).
- Over time the number and size of these factories have increased, especially the `DOMFilterFactory` class, and this split should thus aid readability/maintainability of the code.
- By introducing a couple of new import maps we can avoid bundling the `DOMCMapReaderFactory`/`DOMStandardFontDataFactory` classes in the Firefox PDF Viewer, since they are dead code there given that worker-thread fetching is always being used.
- This patch has been successfully tested, by running `$ ./mach test toolkit/components/pdfjs/`, in a local Firefox artifact-build.
*Note:* This patch reduces the size of the `gulp mozcentral` output by `1.3` kilo-bytes, which isn't a lot but still cannot hurt.
This should avoid the latest JS features appearing in the TypeScript definitions, and given the currently supported browsers/environments (in PDF.js) we shouldn't need to target an even older ES-version.
- Ensure that localization works in the GENERIC viewer, even if the necessary locale files cannot be loaded.
This was the behaviour prior to the introduction of Fluent, and it seems worthwhile to keep that (especially since we already bundle the en-US strings anyway).
- Let the `GenericL10n`-implementation use the *bundled* en-US strings directly when no language is provided.
- Remove the `NullL10n`-implementation, and simply fallback to `GenericL10n`, to reduce the maintenance burden of viewer-components localization.
- Indirectly, given the previous point, stop exporting `NullL10n` in the viewer-components since it's now removed.
Note that it was never really intended to be used directly and only existed as a fallback.
*Please note:* This doesn't affect the Firefox PDF Viewer, thanks to the use of import maps.
*Please note:* These changes only affect the GENERIC build, since `NullL10n` is only a stub elsewhere (see PR 17135).
After the changes in PR 17115, which modernized and improved l10n-handling, the `NullL10n`-implementation is no longer a good fallback for the "proper" `L10n`-classes.
To improve this situation, especially for the *standalone* viewer-components, this patch makes the following changes:
- Let the `NullL10n`-implementation extend an actual `L10n`-class, which is constant and lazily initialized, to ensure that it works *exactly* like the "proper" ones.
- Automatically bundle the "en-US" l10n-strings in the build, via the pre-processor, such that we don't need to remember to manually update them.
- Ensure that the *standalone* viewer-components register their DOM-elements for translation, similar to the default viewer, since this will allow future code improvements by using "data-l10n-id"/"data-l10n-args" in most (if not all) parts of the viewer.
- Remove the `NullL10n` from the `AnnotationLayer`, to avoid affecting bundle size too much.
For third-party users that access the `AnnotationLayer`, as exposed in the main PDF.js library, they'll now need to *manually* register it for translation. (However, the *standalone* viewer-components still works given the point above.)
- For the generic viewer we use @fluent/dom and @fluent/bundle
- For the builtin pdf viewer in Firefox, we set a localization url
and then we rely on document.l10n which is a DOMLocalization object.
This has been deprecated since version `2.15.349`, which is a year ago.
Removing this will also simplify some upcoming changes, specifically outputting of JavaScript modules in the builds.
The typescript compiler is now configured to know about the import map
to be able to resolve those imports and find the associated types.
As tsc outputs declaration files using the original module identifiers
and not the resolved ones, tsc-alias is used to post-process the
declaration files by resolving those paths.
Some configurations settings like `paths` cannot be provided through CLI
arguments but only in a configuration file. And when using a
configuration file, only a few options (like `--outDir` can still be
provided) through the CLI.
