* 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.
Running and testing should be working on the three platforms, but
there's still a fair bit that needs to be done:
- Wheel building + testing in a venv still needs to be implemented.
- Python requirements still need to be compiled with piptool and pinned;
need to compile on all platforms then merge
- Cargo deps in cargo/ and rslib/ need to be cleaned up, and ideally
unified into one place
- Currently using rustls to work around openssl compilation issues
on Linux, but this will break corporate proxies with custom SSL
authorities; need to conditionally use openssl or use
https://github.com/seanmonstar/reqwest/pull/1058
- Makefiles and docs still need cleaning up
- It may make sense to reparent ts/* to the top level, as we don't
nest the other modules under a specific language.
- rspy and pylib must always be updated in lock-step, so merging
rspy into pylib as a private module would simplify things.
- Merging desktop-ftl and mobile-ftl into the core ftl would make
managing and updating translations easier.
- Obsolete scripts need removing.
- And probably more.
- all .ftl files for a language are concatenated into a single file
at build time
- all languages are included in the binary
- external ftl files placed in the ftl folder can override the
built-in definitions
- constants are automatically generated for each string key
- dropped the separate StringsGroup enum
- drop the '5m3s' special casing done in the card stats screen, and
just use decimals
- change alignment of the review log so that the non-abbreviated
spans are easier to read
- git version pinned at the moment until the concurrency fix
lands in 0.10.2
- currently float values are hard-coded at 2 decimal places;
we should switch to using NUMBER() in the future
Instead of trying to define which languages we support, just check
if an appropriate folder is available on disk. This allows users
to drop their own translations into the locale folder and have things
just work.
