PR 7341 added special handling for `nameddest`s that look like pageNumbers, to prevent issues since we previously *incorrectly* supported specifying a pageNumber directly in the hash; i.e. `#10` versus the correct `#page=10` format.
Since this behaviour wasn't correct, PR 7757 fixed and deprecated the old format, which means that we no longer need to maintain the `nameddest` hack in multiple files.
Currently these methods accept a large number of parameters, which creates quite unwieldy call-sites. When invoking them, you have to remember not only what arguments to supply, but also the correct order, to avoid runtime errors.
Furthermore, since some of the parameters are optional, you also have to remember to pass e.g. `null` or `undefined` for those ones.
Also, adding new parameters to these methods (which happens occasionally), often becomes unnecessarily tedious (based on personal experience).
Please note that I do *not* think that we need/should convert *every* single method in `evaluator.js` (or elsewhere in `/core` files) to take parameter objects. However, in my opinion, once a method starts relying on approximately five parameter (or even more), passing them in individually becomes quite cumbersome.
With these changes, I obviously needed to update the `evaluator_spec.js` unit-tests. The main change there, except the new method signatures[1], is that it's now re-using *one* `PartialEvalutor` instance, since I couldn't see any compelling reason for creating a new one in every single test.
*Note:* If this patch is accepted, my intention is to (time permitting) see if it makes sense to convert additional methods in `evaluator.js` (and other `/core` files) in a similar fashion, but I figured that it'd be a good idea to limit the initial scope somewhat.

[1] A fun fact here, note how the `PartialEvaluator` signature used in `evaluator_spec.js` wasn't even correct in the current `master`.

Unfortunately, based on commit 9276d1dcd9, it seems that we still need to maintain compatibility with old Node.js versions, hence certain files/directories that are executed in Node.js are currently exempt from this rule.
Furthermore, since the files specific to the Chromium extension are not run through Babel, the `/extensions/chromium/` directory is also exempt from this rule.
With the exception of just one test-case, all the current `ui_utils` unit-tests can run successfully on Node.js (since most of them doesn't rely on the DOM).
To get this working, I had to first of all add a new `LIB` build flag such that `gulp lib` produces a `web/pdfjs.js` file that is able to load `pdf.js` successfully.
Second of all, since neither `document` nor `navigator` is available in Node.js, `web/ui_utils.js` was adjusted slightly to avoid errors.
The patch also changes the `defaultFilename` to use the ES6 default parameter notation, and fixes the formatting of the JSDoc comment.
Finally, since `getPDFFileNameFromURL` currently has no unit-tests, a few basic ones are added to avoid regressions.
This patch implements support for line annotations. Other viewers only
show the popup annotation when hovering over the line, which may have
any orientation. To make this possible, we render an invisible line (SVG
element) over the line on the canvas that acts as the trigger for the
popup annotation. This invisible line has the same starting coordinates,
ending coordinates and width of the line on the canvas.
I happened to notice that the error handling wasn't that great, which I missed previously since there were no unit-tests for failure to load built-in CMap files.
Hence this patch, which improves the error handling *and* adds tests.
I really cannot understand why this change is necessary, since modern browsers such as Firefox and Chrome work just fine with the old code.
Hence this is patch is yet another "hack" that's needed just because IE apparently cannot just work like you'd expect.
For consistency, the Node factory used in the CMap unit-tests is changed as well.
Fixes 8193.
There's still some work necessary if we want to be able to run (even a subset of) the API unit-tests on Travis.
However, this patch could be considered a small first step, since the relevant unit-tests will now rely on a `CanvasFactory` rather than using `document.createElement('canvas')` directly.
This patch gets rid of the only case in the code-base where we're throwing a plain `string`, rather than an `Error`, which besides better/more consistent error handling also allows us to enable the [`no-throw-literal`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-throw-literal) ESLint rule.
Even though the PDF specification does not state that `Opt` fields are
inheritable, in practice there are PDF generators that let annotations
inherit the options from a parent.
Currently the built-in CMap files are loaded in `src/core/cmap.js` using `XMLHttpRequest` directly. For some environments that might be a problem, hence this patch refactors that to instead use a factory to load built-in CMaps on the main thread and message the data to the worker thread.
This is inspired by other recent work, e.g. the addition of the `CanvasFactory`, and to a large extent on the IRC discussion starting at http://logs.glob.uno/?c=mozilla%23pdfjs&s=12+Oct+2016&e=12+Oct+2016#c53010.
The `Driver._cleanup` method is removing all stylesheets between test runs, which causes "TypeError: styleElement.parentNode is null" console errors in `FontLoader.clear`.
As can also be seen during various tests, some of the changes I made in PR 7972 unfortunately causes console errors.
It seems that I didn't test this properly, since it *should* have been obvious to me that while tests are triggered using Node.js, the files in question are run within the *browser*.
My apologies for not testing this thoroughly, and for causing unnecessary churn in the code!
See http://eslint.org/docs/rules/brace-style.
Having the opening/closing braces on the same line can often make the code slightly more difficult to read, in particular for `if`/`else if` statements, compared to using new lines.
This patch also, for consistency with `mozilla-central`, enables the [`no-iterator`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-iterator) rule. Note that this rule didn't require a single code change.
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.
Every other unit-test in `annotation_spec.js` is already only testing the annotation code. Hence it seems unnecessarily convoluted to make use of the API here, when we can (fairly) simply provide the necessary data explicitly as in all the other annotation unit-test.
We're currently making use of `uniquePrefix`/`idCounters` in multiple files, to create unique object id's, and adding a new occurrence of them requires some care to ensure that an object id isn't accidentally reused.
Furthermore, having to pass around multiple parameters as we currently do seem like something you want to avoid.
Instead, this patch adds a factory which means that there's only *one* thing that needs to be passed around. And since it's now only necessary to call a method in order to obtain a unique object id, the details are thus abstracted away at the call-sites which avoids accidental reuse of object id's.
To test that this works as expected a very simple `Page` unit-test is added, and the existing `Annotation layer` tests are also adjusted slightly.
This patch also removes the `UpdatePassword` message, in favour of using the `sendWithPromise` method of `MessageHandler`.
Furthermore, the patch also refactors the `BasePdfManager_updatePassword`/`BasePdfManager_passwordChanged` methods (in pdf_manager.js), and the `pdfManagerReady` function (in worker.js).
Modern browsers support styling radio buttons and checkboxes with CSS.
This makes the implementation much easier, and the fallback for older
browsers is still decent.
I haven't got an example where the current code breaks, but given all the previous cases we've seen where PDF generators use indirect objects in Arrays it makes sense to fix this pro-actively.
I've modified the relevant unit-tests slightly, and they would *not* pass without the code changes in this patch.
*Note:* `Dict_getArray` only dereferences Array elements on the "top-level", to avoid recursion issues. Furthermore if you have to loop through the Array at the call-site anyway, then using `Dict_get` in combination with `XRef_fetchIfRef` is a tiny bit more efficient.
*Please note that most of the necessary code adjustments were made in PR 7890.*
ESLint has a number of advantageous properties, compared to JSHint. Among those are:
- The ability to find subtle bugs, thanks to more rules (e.g. PR 7881).
- Much more customizable in general, and many rules allow fine-tuned behaviour rather than the just the on/off rules in JSHint.
- Many more rules that can help developers avoid bugs, and a lot of rules that can be used to enforce a consistent coding style. The latter should be particularily useful for new contributors (and reduce the amount of stylistic review comments necessary).
- The ability to easily specify exactly what rules to use/not to use, as opposed to JSHint which has a default set. *Note:* in future JSHint version some of the rules we depend on will be removed, according to warnings in http://jshint.com/docs/options/, so we wouldn't be able to update without losing lint coverage.
- More easily disable one, or more, rules temporarily. In JSHint this requires using a numeric code, which isn't very user friendly, whereas in ESLint the rule name is simply used instead.
By default there's no rules enabled in ESLint, but there are some default rule sets available. However, to prevent linting failures if we update ESLint in the future, it seemed easier to just explicitly specify what rules we want.
Obviously this makes the ESLint config file somewhat bigger than the old JSHint config file, but given how rarely that one has been updated over the years I don't think that matters too much.
I've tried, to the best of my ability, to ensure that we enable the same rules for ESLint that we had for JSHint. Furthermore, I've also enabled a number of rules that seemed to make sense, both to catch possible errors *and* various style guide violations.
Despite the ESLint README claiming that it's slower that JSHint, https://github.com/eslint/eslint#how-does-eslint-performance-compare-to-jshint, locally this patch actually reduces the runtime for `gulp` lint (by approximately 20-25%).
A couple of stylistic rules that would have been nice to enable, but where our code currently differs to much to make it feasible:
- `comma-dangle`, controls trailing commas in Objects and Arrays (among others).
- `object-curly-spacing`, controls spacing inside of Objects.
- `spaced-comment`, used to enforce spaces after `//` and `/*. (This is made difficult by the fact that there's still some usage of the old preprocessor left.)
Rules that I indend to look into possibly enabling in follow-ups, if it seems to make sense: `no-else-return`, `no-lonely-if`, `brace-style` with the `allowSingleLine` parameter removed.
