This commit refactors the icon and logo generation process by replacing
multiple dependencies with ImageMagick. This simplifies the build
process and enhances maintainability.
Key changes:
- Remove unnecessary icon files for macOS (.icns) and Linux
(size-specific PNGs). Electron-builder can now auto-generate these
from a single `logo.png` starting from version 19.54.0, see:
- electron-userland/electron-builder#1682
- electron-userland/electron-builder#2533
- Retain `ico` generation with multiple sizes to fix pixelated/bad
looking icons on Windows, see:
- electron-userland/electron-builder#7328
- electron-userland/electron-builder#3867
- Replaced `svgexport`, `icon-gen`, and `electron-icon-builder`
dependencies with ImageMagick, addressing issues with outdated
dependencies and unreliable CI/CD builds.
- Move electron-builder build resources to
`src/presentation/electron/build` for better project structure.
- Improve `electron-builder` configuration file by making it
importable/reusable without prebuilding the Electron application.
This commit improves UI consistency. It also improves maintainability by
removing "magic values" in favor of standardized spacing throughout the
application.
- Adjust spacing variables to match the convention.
- Add `_spacing.scss` to define a centralized set of spacing variables, both
absolute and relative, to standardize the spacing throughout the application.
This new approach ensures a consistent spacing logic across all components and
layouts, facilitating easier maintenance and scalability of the styling codebase.
- Update various SCSS styles to utilize the new spacing variables. This change
harmonizes the spacing across different parts of the application, aligning with
the new design system's principles.
- Slightly adjust existing padding/margin/gaps for better consistency.
Other supporting changes per component:
- RatingCircle: Update style names to match convention and simplify
hacky way to inject circle width value through CSS variables. Add
tests for the new behavior and refactor existing tests for easier
extensibility.
- TheFooter: Add small gap when footer items wrap.
- HiearchicalTreeNode: Refactor variables to separate caret size clearly
from padding applied.
- App: Make padding responsive as initial behavior of v0.13.0 before
5d940b57ef.
- ModalDialog: Use responsive absolute values instead of percentage.
- HorizontalResizeSlider:
- Use `v-bind` instead of hacky way to inject SCSS values through variables.
- Remove `verticalMargin` property to simplify its styling.
- Move `src/presentation/assets/styles/components/_card.scss` closer to
components that it styles. Update structure documentation.
The centralization of spacing definitions will aid in future design
adjustments, ensuring that updates to spacing can be made swiftly and
uniformly across the application. It's a step towards a more maintainable
and scalable frontend architecture.
This commit standardizes the visual styling of inline code and code
blocks, ensuring consistency across macOS, Android, Linux and Windows
platforms.
The discrepancies observed in font rendering on macOS, which caused the
inline code font to appear larger, have been addressed. This behavior
was only observed on macOS using different browsers such as Firefox,
Safari, Chromium-based browsers including Electron.
Key changes:
- Standardize font size relative to the parent element.
- Remove font-weight for uniformity, especially when the specific weight
is not included with the application.
- Add a consistent background color to inline codes, aligning their look
with code blocks.
- Refactor code styling into a separate SCSS file for improved
modularity and maintainability.
- Update the documentation to reflect these visual design choices for
privacy.sexy's UI.
These changes enhance the overall user experience by providing a
consistent look and feel for code elements within the UI, regardless of
the user's platform or browser.
This commit fixes layout shifts experienced in macOS Safari when
hovering over top menu items. Instead of making text bold — which was
causing layout shifts — the hover effect now changes the text color.
This ensures a consistent UI across different browsers and platforms.
Additionally, this commit fixes the styling of the privacy button
located in the bottom right corner. Previously styled as an `<a>`
element, it is now correctly represented as a `<button>`.
Furthermore, the commit enhances HTML conformity and accessibility by
correctly using `<button>` and `<a>` tags instead of relying on click
interactions on `<span>` elements.
This commit introduces `FlatButton` Vue component and a new
`flat-button` mixin. These centralize button usage and link styles,
aligning the hover/touch reactions of buttons across the application,
thereby creating a more consistent user interface.
This commit enhances application security against potential attacks by
isolating dependencies that access the host system (like file
operations) from the renderer process. It narrows the exposed
functionality to script execution only, adding an extra security layer.
The changes allow secure and scalable API exposure, preparing for future
functionalities such as desktop notifications for script errors (#264),
improved script execution handling (#296), and creating restore points
(#50) in a secure and repeatable way.
Changes include:
- Inject `CodeRunner` into Vue components via dependency injection.
- Move `CodeRunner` to the application layer as an abstraction for
better domain-driven design alignment.
- Refactor `SystemOperations` and related interfaces, removing the `I`
prefix.
- Update architecture documentation for clarity.
- Update return types in `NodeSystemOperations` to match the Node APIs.
- Improve `WindowVariablesProvider` integration tests for better error
context.
- Centralize type checks with common functions like `isArray` and
`isNumber`.
- Change `CodeRunner` to use `os` parameter, ensuring correct window
variable injection.
- Streamline API exposure to the renderer process:
- Automatically bind function contexts to prevent loss of original
context.
- Implement a way to create facades (wrapper/proxy objects) for
increased security.
This commit improves the dependency injection mechanism by introducing a
custom `injectKey` function.
Key improvements are:
- Enforced type consistency during dependency registration and
instantiation.
- Simplified injection process, abstracting away the complexity with a
uniform API, regardless of the dependency's lifetime.
- Eliminated the possibility of `undefined` returns during dependency
injection, promoting fail-fast behavior.
- Removed the necessity for type casting to `symbol` for injection keys
in unit tests by using existing types.
- Consalidated imports, combining keys and injection functions in one
`import` statement.
This commit removes the redundant `index.html` file from the
`src/presentation/public` directory. This file was initially created
there with Vue CLI before migration to Vite. The existence of this file
is now unnecessary as Vite requires `index.html` to be at the project
root.
The deletion of this duplicate file simplifies the project and
eliminates potential confusion regarding the entry point of the
application.
Changes:
- Update `docs/presentation.md` to clarify the location of `index.html`.
- Remove the `src/presentation/public/index.html` file, which was
duplicate of the project root `index.html`.
These changes ensure compliance with Vite's configuration and project
structure clarity.
- Introduce a new UI component for tooltips.
- Fix tooltip arrow misalignment issues in code download/execution
instructions dialogs.
Reasons for dropping `v-tooltip` dependency:
- Lack of support for Vue 3.0, which blocks migration to Vue 3.0 (see
#230).
- Inability to render HTML content that's required for privacy.sexy.
- Inefficient, adding an extra 162.48 KB to the production bundle for
web distribution (tested using `npm run build -- --mode production`).
Advantages of adopting `floating-ui` (Floating UI):
- Compatibility across multiple Vue versions including 2.0, 2.7, and 3.0.
- Reduced boilerplate resulting in cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Efficient position recalculations without reinventing the wheel.
Key highlights:
- Written from scratch to cater specifically to privacy.sexy's
needs and requirements.
- The visual look mimics the previous component with minimal changes,
but its internal code is completely rewritten.
- Lays groundwork for future functionalities like the "expand all"
button a flat view mode as discussed in #158.
- Facilitates the transition to Vue 3 by omitting the Vue 2.0 dependent
`liquour-tree` as part of #230.
Improvements and features:
- Caching for quicker node queries.
- Gradual rendering of nodes that introduces a noticable boost in
performance, particularly during search/filtering.
- `TreeView` solely governs the check states of branch nodes.
Changes:
- Keyboard interactions now alter the background color to highlight the
focused item. Previously, it was changing the color of the text.
- Better state management with clear separation of concerns:
- `TreeView` exclusively manages indeterminate states.
- `TreeView` solely governs the check states of branch nodes.
- Introduce transaction pattern to update state in batches to minimize
amount of events handled.
- Improve keyboard focus, style background instead of foreground. Use
hover/touch color on keyboard focus.
- `SelectableTree` has been removed. Instead, `TreeView` is now directly
integrated with `ScriptsTree`.
- `ScriptsTree` has been refactored to incorporate hooks for clearer
code and separation of duties.
- Adopt Vue-idiomatic bindings instead of keeping a reference of the
tree component.
- Simplify and change filter event management.
- Abandon global styles in favor of class-scoped styles.
- Use global mixins with descriptive names to clarify indended
functionality.
This commit simplifies event handling, providing a unified and robust
way to handle event lifecycling. This way, it fixes events not being
unsubscribed when state is changed.
Introduce a new function in `EventSubscriptionCollection` to remove
existing events and adding new events. This provides an easier to use
API, which leads to code that's easier to understand. It also prevents
potential bugs that may occur due to forgetting to call both functions.
It fixes `TheScriptsMenu` not unregistering events on state change.
Other improvements include:
- Include a getter to get total amount of registered subcriptions.
This helps in unit testing.
- Have nullish checks to prevent potential errors further down the
execution.
- Use array instead of rest parameters to increase readability and
simplify tests.
Ensure `SliderHandler` stops resizes on unmount, unsubscribing from all
events and resetting state to default.
Update `injectionKeys` to do imports as types to avoid circular
dependencies. Simplify importing `injectionKeys` to enable and strict
typings for iterating injection keys.
Add tests covering new behavior.
- Switch from deprecated Vue CLI plugin to `electron-vite` (see
nklayman/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder#1982)
- Update main/preload scripts to use `index.cjs` filenames to support
`"type": "module"`, resolving crash issue (#233). This crash was
related to Electron not supporting ESM (see electron/asar#249,
electron/electron#21457).
- This commit completes migration to Vite from Vue CLI (#230).
Structure changes:
- Introduce separate folders for Electron's main and preload processes.
- Move TypeHelpers to `src/` to mark tit as accessible by the rest of
the code.
Config changes:
- Make `vite.config.ts` reusable by Electron configuration.
- On electron-builder, use `--publish` flag instead of `-p` for clarity.
Tests:
- Add log for preload script loading verification.
- Implement runtime environment sanity checks.
- Enhance logging in `check-desktop-runtime-errors`.
This commit changes the web application's build, transpilation and
minification process from Vue CLI to Vite. This shift paves the way for
a full migration to Vite as the primary build tool (#230).
Configuration changes:
- `.vscode/extensions.json`: Update recommended plugins, replacing
unmaintained ones with official recommendations.
- Legacy browser support:
- Use `@vitejs/plugin-legacy` to transpile for older browsers.
- Remove `core-js` dependency and `babel.config.cjs` configuration as
they're now handled by the legacy plugin.
- Delete `@babel/preset-typescript` and `@babel/preset-typescript`
dependencies as legacy plugin handles babel dependencies by default.
- Add `terser` dependency that's used by the legacy plugin for
minification, as per Vite's official documentation.
- `tsconfig.json`:
- Remove obsolete `webpack-env` types.
- Add `"resolveJsonModule": true` to be able to read JSON files in
right way.
- Use correct casing as configuration values.
- Simplify `lib` to align with Vite and Vue starter configuration.
- Add `"skipLibCheck": true` as `npm run build` now runs `tsc` which
fails on inconsistent typings inside `node_modules` due to npm's
weak dependency resoultion.
- PostCSS:
- Add `autoprefixer` as dependency, no longer installed by Vue CLI.
- Epxlicitly added `postcss` as dependency to anticipate potential
peer dependency changes.
- Remove related `@vue/cli` dependencies.
- Remove `sass-loader` as Vite has native CSS preprocessing support.
- Run integration tests with `jsdom` environment so `window` object can
be used.
Client-side changes:
- Abstract build tool specific environment variable population.
Environment variables were previously populated by Vue CLI and now by
Vite but not having an abstraction caused issues. This abstraction
solves build errors and allows easier future migrations and testing.
- Change Vue CLI-specific `~@` aliases to `@` to be able to compile with
Vite.
- Update types in LiquorTree to satisfy `tsc`.
- Remove Vue CLI-specific workaround from `src/presentation/main.ts`.
Restructuring:
- Move `public/` to `presentation/` to align with the layered structure,
which was not possible with Vue CLI.
- Move `index.html` to web root instead of having it inside `public/` to
align with official recommended structure.
- Move logic shared by both integration and unit tests to
`tests/shared`.
- Move logo creation script to `scripts/` and its npm command to include
`build` to align with rest of the structure.
Configure project to use ES6 modules to enable top-level await
capabilities. This change helps project to align well with modern JS
standards.
- Set `type` to `module` in `package.json`.
- Use import/export syntax in Cypress configuration files.
- Rename configurations files that do not support modules to use
the `.cjs` extension:
- `vue.config.js` to `vue.config.cjs` (vuejs/vue-cli#4477).
- `babel.config.js` to `babel.config.cjs (babel/babel-loader#894)
- `.eslintrc.js` to `.eslintrc.cjs` (eslint/eslint#13440,
eslint/eslint#14137)
- `postcss.config.js` to `postcss.config.cjs` (postcss/postcss#1771)
- Provide a workaround for Vue CLI & Mocha ES6 modules conflict in
Vue configuration file (vuejs/vue-cli#7417).
- Remove existing integration tests for hooks as they're redundant after
this change.
- Document the pattern in relevant documentation.
- Introduce `useEnvironment` to increase testability.
- Update components to inject dependencies rather than importing hooks
directly.
This commit introduces a new Vue component to handle tooltips. It acts
as a wrapper for the `v-tooltip`. It enhances the maintainability,
readability and portability of tooltips by enabling the direct inclusion
of inline HTML in the tooltip components. It solves issues such as
absence of linting or editor support and cumbersome string
concatenation.
It also provides an abstraction layer that simplifies the switching
between different tooltip implementations, which would allow a smooth
migration to Vue 3 (see #230).
Introduce a brand new lightweight and efficient modal component. It is
designed to be visually similar to the previous one to not introduce a
change in feel of the application in a patch release, but behind the
scenes it features:
- Enhanced application speed and reduced bundle size.
- New flexbox-driven layout, eliminating JS calculations.
- Composition API ready for Vue 3.0 #230.
Other changes:
- Adopt idiomatic Vue via `v-modal` binding.
- Add unit tests for both the modal and dialog.
- Remove `vue-js-modal` dependency in favor of the new implementation.
- Adjust modal shadow color to better match theme.
- Add `@vue/test-utils` for unit testing.
- Migrate `StatefulVue`:
- Introduce `UseCollectionState` that replaces its behavior and acts
as a shared state store.
- Add more encapsulated, granular functions based on read or write
access to state in CollectionState.
- Some linting rules get activates due to new code-base compability to
modern parses, fix linting errors.
- Rename Dialog to ModalDialog as after refactoring,
eslintvue/no-reserved-component-names does not allow name Dialog.
- To comply with `vue/multi-word-component-names`, rename:
- `Code` -> `CodeInstruction`
- `Handle` -> `SliderHandle`
- `Documentable` -> `DocumentableNode`
- `Node` -> `NodeContent`
- `INode` -> `INodeContent`
- `Responsive` -> `SizeObserver`
- Remove `vue-property-decorator` and `vue-class-component`
dependencies.
- Refactor `watch` with computed properties when possible for cleaner
code.
- Introduce `UseApplication` to reduce repeated code in new components
that use `computed` more heavily than before.
- Change TypeScript target to `es2017` to allow top level async calls
for getting application context/state/instance to simplify the code by
removing async calls. However, mocha (unit and integration) tests do
not run with top level awaits, so a workaround is used.
Disable selecting clickables as text. Selecting buttons leads to
unintended selection. This is seen when touching on clickables using
mobile devices.
Prevent blue highlight when touching on clickables. This is seen on
mobile webkit browsers. It looks ugly and the visual clue provided is
not needed beacuse all clickables on mobile already have visual clues.
- Simplify `README.md` by creating and moving some documentation to
`architecture.md`.
- Add more documentation for state handling between layers.
- Improve some documentation to use clearer language.
- Add more documentation.
- Use `main.scss` instead of importing components individually. This
improves productivity without compilation errors due to missing
imports and allows for easier future file/folder changes and
refactorings inside `./styles`.
- Use partials with underscored naming. Because it documents that the
files should not be individually imported.
- Introduce `third-party-extensions` folder to group styles that
overwrites third party components.
- Refactor variable names from generic to specific.
- Use Sass modules (`@use` and `@forward`) over depreciated `@import`
syntax.
- Separate font assets from Sass files (`styles/`). Create `assets/`
folder that will contain both.
- Create `_globals.css` for global styling of common element instead of
using `App.vue`.
Before we used native method from electron for updating and notifying
(`checkForUpdatesAndNotify`). It simply checked if there's an update,
downloaded it, applied in the background and showed OS notification.
The flow is now updated. Updates will be checked, user will be asked to
confirm about whether to download and apply the updates, then a UI with
progress bar will be shown and user will be asked to restart the
application.
This commit also moves electron related logic to `/electron/` folder (as
there are now multiple files) to keep them structured. Also the electon
entrypoint `background.ts` is renamed to `main.ts`. The reason it was
named `background.ts` by vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder was to remove
the confusion between `main.ts` of Vue itself. However, as they are
kept in different folders, but this is not the case for us.
Better than `checkForUpdatesAndNotify`.
Organizes electron desktop app logic in same folder to allow using
multiple files in a structured manner.
- Move most GUI related code to /presentation
- Move components to /components (separate from bootstrap and style)
- Move shared components helpers to /components/shared
- Rename Bootstrapping to bootstrapping to enforce same naming
convention in /presentation
