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.
This allows to bring in all the benefits of
syntax highlighting and enhanced editing
features in the element picker, like auto-
completion, etc.
This is also a necessary step to possibly solve
the following issue:
- https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/2035
Additionally, incrementally improved the behavior
of uBO's custom CodeMirror static filtering syntax
mode when double-clicking somewhere in a static
extended filter:
- on a class/id string will cause the whole
class/id string to be selected, including the
prepending `.`/`#`.
- somewhere in a hostname/entity will cause all
the labels from the cursor position to the
right-most label to be selected (subject to
change/fine-tune as per feedback of filter
list maintainers).

Further iterating on the work done in following commit:

This commit adds a new widget to the element picker to
control the depth of a cosmetic filter selector. The
new widget is essentially just another way of selecting
the depth, which is still controllable through picking
one of the cosmetic filters in the list of candidates.

The ctrl key is no longer used to adjust specificity of
a candidate filter.
A new widget has been added to adjust the specificity of
a candidate filter to various level. The widget will be
visible as long as the candidate filter matches one entry
in the list of suggested candidate cosmetic filters.

In the previous commit, the element picker dialog was
isolated from the page content. This commit is to also
isolate the svg layers from the page content.
With this commit, there is no longer a need for an anonymous
iframe and the isolated world iframe is now directly
embedded in the page.
As a result, pages are now unable to interfere with any
of the element picker user interface. Pages can now only
see an iframe, but are unable to see the content of that
iframe. The styles applied to the iframe are from a user
stylesheet, so as to ensure pages can't override the
iframe's style properties set by uBO.
