- Introduced a new transact() method that wraps the return value
in a separate struct that describes the changes that were made.
- Changes are now gathered from the undo log, so we don't need to
guess at what was changed - eg if update_note() is called with identical
note contents, no changes are returned. Card changes will only be set
if cards were actually generated by the update_note() call, and tag
will only be set if a new tag was added.
- mw.perform_op() has been updated to expect the op to return the changes,
or a structure with the changes in it, and it will use them to fire the
change hook, instead of fetching the changes from undo_status(), so there
is no risk of race conditions.
- the various calls to mw.perform_op() have been split into separate
files like card_ops.py. Aside from making the code cleaner, this works
around a rather annoying issue with mypy. Because we run it with
no_strict_optional, mypy is happy to accept an operation that returns None,
despite the type signature saying it requires changes to be returned.
Turning no_strict_optional on for the whole codebase is not practical
at the moment, but we can enable it for individual files.
Still todo:
- The cursor keeps moving back to the start of a field when typing -
we need to ignore the refresh hook when we are the initiator.
- The busy cursor icon should probably be delayed a few hundreds ms.
- Still need to think about a nicer way of handling saveNow()
- op_made_changes(), op_affects_study_queue() might be better embedded
as properties in the object instead
- anki._backend stores the protobuf files and rsbackend.py code
- pylib modules import protobuf messages directly from the
_pb2 files, and explicitly export any will be returned or consumed
by public pylib functions, so that calling code can import from pylib
- the "rsbackend" no longer imports and re-exports protobuf messages
- pylib can just consume them directly.
- move errors to errors.py
Still todo:
- rsbridge
- finishing the work on rsbackend, and check what we need to add
back to the original file location to avoid breaking add-ons
- _renderQA() has moved to template.py:render_card()
- dropped QAData in favour of a properly typed dict
- render_card() returns a TemplateRenderOutput struct instead of a dict
- card_did_render now takes that output as the first arg, and can
mutate it
- TemplateRenderContext now stores the original card, so it can return
a card even in the add screen case
The old mungeFields and mungeQA hook have been removed as part of this
change. mungeQA can be replaced with the card_did_render hook.
In the mungeFields case, please switch to using field_filter instead.
- the context exists for the lifecycle of one card's render,
and caches calls to things like .card() to avoid add-ons needing to
do their own cache management.
- add-ons can optionally add extra data to the context if they need
it across multiple filters
- removed card_will_render. the legacy hook is still available for
now
- card_did_render is now called only once, with both front and back
text
This allows us to add a docstring to .append() so users can see
the names of the arguments that are being passed, and means we
don't have to remember to prepend run_ when calling a hook.
