The changes are enough to fulfill the related issue.
A new platform has been added in order to allow for building
a NodeJS package. From the root of the project:
./tools/make-nodejs
This will create new uBlock0.nodejs directory in the
./dist/build directory, which is a valid NodeJS package.
From the root of the package, you can try:
node test
This will instantiate a static network filtering engine,
populated by easylist and easyprivacy, which can be used
to match network requests by filling the appropriate
filtering context object.
The test.js file contains code which is typical example
of usage of the package.
Limitations: the NodeJS package can't execute the WASM
versions of the code since the WASM module requires the
use of fetch(), which is not available in NodeJS.
This is a first pass at modularizing the codebase, and
while at it a number of opportunistic small rewrites
have also been made.
This commit requires the minimum supported version for
Chromium and Firefox be raised to 61 and 60 respectively.
Disconnected ports could still happen Even when the port
was still seen as valid internally. Using a try-catch
block makes invalid port detection more reliable. This
is an occurrence I often encountered when stepping into
content script code, causing suprious error messages to
be thrown into uBO's background dev console.
This scriplet supersedes abort-current-inline-script (acis),
and accepts an optional third argument which is matched
against the `src` property of script resources.
When the third argument is not provided, the scriptlet
behaves essentially the same as `acis`, and because of
this `acis` is now aliased to `abort-current-script`, and
all existing `acis` filters will execute with no change
in behavior.
In the long run, usage of `abort-current-inline-script` or
its alias `acis` should go away and be replaced with
`abort-current-script` or its alias `acs`.
Though Firefox shares a lot of WebExtensions code with Chromium,
these platforms have their own specific code paths, for various
reasons.
The reorganization here makes it clear that Chromium platform is
just one flavor of WebExtensions, and as such all Chromium-specific
code paths should no longer be automatically pulled by other
platforms where these code paths are not needed.
