- Dropped the protobuf extensions in favor of explicitly listing out
methods in both services if we want to implement both, as it's clearer.
- Move Service/Method wrappers into a separate crate that the various
clients can import, to easily get at the list of backend services and
their correct indices and comments.
Realised this is clearer than tagging each method individually. The
enum has been retained for the case where we want to implement the backend
method separately from the collection one.
* Automatically elide empty inputs and outputs to backend methods
* Refactor service generation
Despite the fact that the majority of our Protobuf service methods require
an open collection, they were not accessible with just a Collection
object. To access the methods (e.g. because we haven't gotten around to
exposing the correct API in Collection yet), you had to wrap the collection
in a Backend object, and pay a mutex-acquisition cost for each call, even
if you have exclusive access to the object.
This commit migrates the majority of service methods to the Collection, so
they can now be used directly, and improves the ergonomics a bit at the
same time.
The approach taken:
- The service generation now happens in rslib instead of anki_proto, which
avoids the need for trait constraints and associated types.
- Service methods are assumed to be collection-based by default. Instead of
implementing the service on Backend, we now implement it on Collection, which
means our methods no longer need to use self.with_col(...).
- We automatically generate methods in Backend which use self.with_col() to
delegate to the Collection method.
- For methods that are only appropriate for the backend, we add a flag in
the .proto file. The codegen uses this flag to write the method into a
BackendFooService instead of FooService, which the backend implements.
- The flag can also allows us to define separate implementations for collection
and backend, so we can e.g. skip the collection mutex in the i18n service
while also providing the service on a collection.
* Relax chrono specification for AnkiDroid
https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android-Backend/pull/251
* Add AnkiDroid service and AnkiDroid customizations
Most of the work here was done by David in the Backend repo; integrating
it into this repo for ease of future maintenance.
Based on 5d9f262f4c
with some tweaks:
- Protobuf imports have been fixed to match the recent refactor
- FatalError has been renamed to AnkidroidPanicError
- Tweaks to the desktop code to deal with the extra arg to open_collection,
and exclude AnkiDroid service methods from our Python code.
* Refactor AnkiDroid's DB code to avoid uses of unsafe
