So, this is fun. Apparently "DeckId" is considered preferable to the
"DeckID" were were using until now, and the latest clippy will start
warning about it. We could of course disable the warning, but probably
better to bite the bullet and switch to the naming that's generally
considered best.
Instead of generating a fluent.proto file with a giant enum, create
a .json file representing the translations that downstream consumers
can use for code generation.
This enables the generation of a separate method for each translation,
with a docstring that shows the actual text, and any required arguments
listed in the function signature.
The codebase is still using the old enum for now; updating it will need
to come in future commits, and the old enum will need to be kept
around, as add-ons are referencing it.
Other changes:
- move translation code into a separate crate
- store the translations on a per-file/module basis, which will allow
us to avoid sending 1000+ strings on each JS page load in the future
- drop the undocumented support for external .ftl files, that we weren't
using
- duplicate strings in translation files are now checked for at build
time
- fix i18n test failing when run outside Bazel
- drop slog dependency in i18n module
- 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
Still a prototype at this stage - we'll likely want a caching layer
for note types, and I'm not sure of the merit of having fields in
a separate table, since they're almost always required.
Searches that require multiple deck or note type lookups won't perform
very well at the moment - it either needs caching or to be split up
at the DB level.
Nothing tested yet.
committing the Protobuf implementation for posterity, but will replace
it with json, as Protobuf measures about 6x slower for some workloads
like 'select * from notes'
- 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
