This commit introduces native operating system file dialogs in the
desktop application replacing the existing web-based dialogs.
It lays the foundation for future enhancements such as:
- Providing error messages when saving or executing files, addressing
#264.
- Creating system restore points, addressing #50.
Documentation updates:
- Update `desktop-vs-web-features.md` with added functionality.
- Update `README.md` with security feature highlights.
- Update home page documentation to emphasize security features.
Other supporting changes include:
- Integrate IPC communication channels for secure Electron dialog API
interactions.
- Refactor `IpcRegistration` for more type-safety and simplicity.
- Introduce a Vue hook to encapsulate dialog functionality.
- Improve errors during IPC registration for easier troubleshooting.
- Move `ClientLoggerFactory` for consistency in hooks organization and
remove `LoggerFactory` interface for simplicity.
- Add tests for the save file dialog in the browser context.
- Add `Blob` polyfill in tests to compensate for the missing
`blob.text()` function in `jsdom` (see jsdom/jsdom#2555).
Improve environment detection logic:
- Treat test environment as browser environments to correctly activate
features based on the environment. This resolves issues where the
environment is misidentified as desktop, but Electron preloader APIs
are missing.
- Rename `isDesktop` environment identification variable to
`isRunningAsDesktopApplication` for better clarity and to avoid
confusion with desktop environments in web/browser/test environments.
- Simplify `BrowserRuntimeEnvironment` to consistently detect
non-desktop application environments.
- Improve environment detection for Electron main process
(electron/electron#2288).
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 resolves the issue with the `:active` pseudo-class not
activating in mobile Safari on iOS devices. It introduces a workaround
specifically for mobile Safari on iOS/iPadOS to enable the `:active`
pseudo-class. This ensures a consistent and responsive user interface
in response to touch states on mobile Safari.
Other supporting changes:
- Introduce new test utility functions such as `createWindowEventSpies`
and `formatAssertionMessage` to improve code reusability and
maintainability.
- Improve browser detection:
- Add detection for iPadOS and Windows 10 Mobile.
- Add touch support detection to correctly determine iPadOS vs macOS.
- Fix misidentification of some Windows 10 Mobile platforms as Windows
Phone.
- Improve test coverage and refactor tests.
- Migrate to `electron-log` v5.X.X, centralizing log files to adhere to
best-practices.
- Add critical event logging in the log file.
- Replace `ElectronLog` type with `LogFunctions` for better abstraction.
- Unify log handling in `desktop-runtime-error` by removing
`renderer.log` due to `electron-log` v5 changes.
- Update and extend logger interfaces, removing 'I' prefix and adding
common log levels to abstract `electron-log` completely.
- Move logger interfaces to the application layer as it's cross-cutting
concern, meanwhile keeping the implementations in the infrastructure
layer.
- Introduce `useLogger` hook for easier logging in Vue components.
- Simplify `WindowVariables` by removing nullable properties.
- Improve documentation to clearly differentiate between desktop and web
versions, outlining specific features of each.
This commit improves the user interface in modal display.
- Prevent layout shifts caused by background scrollbars when modals are
active.
- Fix unintended overflow of modals on small screens, preventing parts
of the modal from being cut off on the right side.
- Refactor DOM manipulation, enhancing modularity, reusability,
extensibility, and separation of concerns.
- Centralize viewport test scenarios for different sizes in a single
definition for E2E tests.
This commit introduces a batched debounce mechanism for managing user
selection state changes. It effectively reduces unnecessary processing
during rapid script checking, preventing multiple triggers for code
compilation and UI rendering.
Key improvements include:
- Enhanced performance, especially noticeable when selecting large
categories. This update resolves minor UI freezes experienced when
selecting categories with numerous scripts.
- Correction of a bug where the code area only highlighted the last
selected script when multiple scripts were chosen.
Other changes include:
- Timing functions:
- Create a `Timing` folder for `throttle` and the new
`batchedDebounce` functions.
- Move these functions to the application layer from the presentation
layer, reflecting their application-wide use.
- Refactor existing code for improved clarity, naming consistency, and
adherence to new naming conventions.
- Add missing unit tests.
- `UserSelection`:
- State modifications in `UserSelection` now utilize a singular object
inspired by the CQRS pattern, enabling batch updates and flexible
change configurations, thereby simplifying change management.
- Remove the `I` prefix from related interfaces to align with new coding
standards.
- Refactor related code for better testability in isolation with
dependency injection.
- Repository:
- Move repository abstractions to the application layer.
- Improve repository abstraction to combine `ReadonlyRepository` and
`MutableRepository` interfaces.
- E2E testing:
- Introduce E2E tests to validate the correct batch selection
behavior.
- Add a specialized data attribute in `TheCodeArea.vue` for improved
testability.
- Reorganize shared Cypress functions for a more idiomatic Cypress
approach.
- Improve test documentation with related information.
- `SelectedScript`:
- Create an abstraction for simplified testability.
- Introduce `SelectedScriptStub` in tests as a substitute for the
actual object.
These updates ensure better adherence to Vue 3 standards and improve
overall code quality and readability.
- Update ESLint configuration from Vue 2.x to Vue 3 rules.
- Switch from "essential" to strictest "recommended" ESLint ruleset.
- Adjust ESLint script to treat warnings as errors by using
`--max-warnings=0` flag. This enforces stricter code quality controls
provided by Vue 3 rules.
This commit applies `strictNullChecks` to the entire codebase to improve
maintainability and type safety. Key changes include:
- Remove some explicit null-checks where unnecessary.
- Add necessary null-checks.
- Refactor static factory functions for a more functional approach.
- Improve some test names and contexts for better debugging.
- Add unit tests for any additional logic introduced.
- Refactor `createPositionFromRegexFullMatch` to its own function as the
logic is reused.
- Prefer `find` prefix on functions that may return `undefined` and
`get` prefix for those that always return a value.
This commit introduces `useUserSelectionState` compositional hook. it
centralizes and allows reusing the logic for tracking and mutation user
selection state across the application.
The change aims to increase code reusability, simplify the code, improve
testability, and adhere to the single responsibility principle. It makes
the code more reliable against race conditions and removes the need for
tracking deep changes.
Other supporting changes:
- Introduce `CardStateIndicator` component for displaying the card state
indicator icon, improving the testability and separation of concerns.
- Refactor `SelectionTypeHandler` to use functional code with more clear
interfaces to simplify the code. It reduces complexity, increases
maintainability and increase readability by explicitly separating
mutating functions.
- Add new unit tests and extend improving ones to cover the new logic
introduced in this commit. Remove the need to mount a wrapper
component to simplify and optimize some tests, using parameter
injection to inject dependencies intead.
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 fixes the bug where the "Copy" button does not copy when
clicked on download instructions modal (on Linux and macOS).
This commit also introduces several improvements to the UI components
related to copy action and their interaction with the clipboard feature.
It adds more tests to avoid regression of the bugs and improves
maintainability, testability and adherence to Vue's reactive principles.
Changes include:
- Fix non-responsive copy button in the download instructions modal by
triggering a `click` event in `AppIcon.vue`.
- Improve `TheCodeButtons.vue`:
- Remove redundant `getCurrentCode` function.
- Separate components for each button for better separation of
concerns and higher testability.
- Use the `gap` property in the flexbox layout, replacing the less
explicit sibling combinator approach.
- Add `useClipboard` compositional hook for more idiomatic Vue approach
to interacting with the clipboard.
- Add `useCurrentCode` compositional hook to handle current code state
more effectively with unified logic.
- Abstract clipboard operations to an interface to isolate
responsibilities.
- Switch clipboard implementation to the `navigator.clipboard` API,
moving away from the deprecated `document.execCommand`.
- Move clipboard logic to the presentation layer to conform to
separation of concerns and domain-driven design principles.
- Improve `IconButton.vue` component to increase reusability with
consistent sizing.
- Migrate from "Vue 2.X" to "Vue 3.X"
- Migrate from "Vue Test Utils v1" to "Vue Test Utils v2"

- Change `destroy` to `unmount`.
- Bootstrapping:
- Move `provide`s for global dependencies to a bootsrapper from
`App.vue`.
- Remove `productionTip` setting (not in Vue 3).
- Change `IVueBootstrapper` for simplicity and Vue 3 compatible API.
- Add missing tests.

- Remove `shims-vue.d.ts` that's missing in quickstart template.
- Unit tests:
- Remove old typing workaround for mounting components.
- Rename `propsData` to `props`.
- Remove unneeded `any` cast workarounds.

Other changes:
- Add `dmg-license` dependency explicitly due to failing electron builds
on macOS (electron-userland/electron-builder#6520,
electron-userland/electron-builder#6489). This was a side-effect of
updating dependencies for this commit.
This commit updates various dependencies to their latest versions.
Other changes include:
- Moved the following from `devDependencies` to `dependencies`:
- `electron-log`
- `electron-updater`
- Remove `npm` dependency.
- Code changes:
- Add type casting in several places to align with the latest
`typescript` version.
- Adopt to new return type of `setTimeout`.
- Dependencies not upgraded due to
`@vue/eslint-config-airbnb-with-typescript` not supporting
`@eslint-typescript` V6 (see vuejs/eslint-config-airbnb#58):
- `vue/eslint-config-typescript`
- `@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin`
- `@typescript-eslint/parser`
- Enable video recording for cypress as it's disabled by default since
13.X.X.
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.
Test improvements:
- Capture titles for all macOS windows, not just the frontmost.
- Incorporate missing application log files.
- Improve log clarity with enriched context.
- Improve application termination on macOS by reducing grace period.
- Ensure complete application termination on macOS.
- Validate Vue application loading through an initial log.
- Support ignoring environment-specific `stderr` errors.
- Do not fail the test if working directory cannot be deleted.
- Use retry pattern when installing dependencies due to network errors.
Refactorings:
- Migrate the test code to TypeScript.
- Replace deprecated `rmdir` with `rm` for error-resistant directory
removal.
- Improve sanity checking by shifting from App.vue to Vue bootstrapper.
- Centralize environment variable management with `EnvironmentVariables`
construct.
- Rename infrastructure/Environment to RuntimeEnvironment for clarity.
- Isolate WindowVariables and SystemOperations from RuntimeEnvironment.
- Inject logging via preloader.
- Correct mislabeled RuntimeSanity tests.
Configuration:
- Introduce `npm run check:desktop` for simplified execution.
- Omit `console.log` override due to `nodeIntegration` restrictions and
reveal logging functionality using context-bridging.
Enable `contextIsolation` in Electron to securely expose a limited set
of Node.js APIs to the renderer process. It:
1. Isolates renderer and main process contexts. It ensures that the
powerful main process functions aren't directly accessible from
renderer process(es), adding a security boundary.
2. Mitigates remote exploitation risks. By isolating contexts, potential
malicious code injections in the renderer can't directly reach and
compromise the main process.
3. Reduces attack surface.
4. Protect against prototype pollution: It prevents tampering of
JavaScript object prototypes in one context from affecting another
context, improving app reliability and security.
Supporting changes include:
- Extract environment and system operations classes to the infrastructure
layer. This removes node dependencies from core domain and application
code.
- Introduce `ISystemOperations` to encapsulate OS interactions. Use it
from `CodeRunner` to isolate node API usage.
- Add a preloader script to inject validated environment variables into
renderer context. This keeps Electron integration details
encapsulated.
- Add new sanity check to fail fast on issues with preloader injected
variables.
- Improve test coverage of runtime sanity checks and environment
components. Move validation logic into separate classes for Single
Responsibility.
- Improve absent value test case generation.
As part of transition to Vue 3.0 and Vite (#230), this commit
facilitates the shift towards building rest of the application using
Vite. By doing so, it eliminates reliance on outdated Electron building
system that offered limited control, blocking desktop builds (#233).
Changes include:
- Introduce Vite with Vue 2.0 plugin for test execution.
- Remove `mocha`, `chai` and other related dependencies.
- Adjust test to Vitest syntax.
- Revise and update `tests.md` to document the changes.
- Add `@modyfi/vite-plugin-yaml` plugin to be able to use yaml file
depended logic on test files, replacing previous webpack behavior.
- Fix failing tests that are revealed by Vitest due to unhandled errors
and lack of assertments.
- Remove the test that depends on Vue CLI populating `process.env`.
- Use `jsdom` for unit test environment, adding it to dependency to
`package.json` as project now depends on it and it was not specified
even though `package-lock.json` included it.
- 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.
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.
- Unify test data for nonexistence of an object/string and collection.
- Introduce more test through adding missing test data to existing tests.
- Improve logic for checking absence of values to match tests.
- Add missing tests for absent value validation.
- Update documentation to include shared test functionality.
Major refactoring using ESLint with rules from AirBnb and Vue.
Enable most of the ESLint rules and do necessary linting in the code.
Also add more information for rules that are disabled to describe what
they are and why they are disabled.
Allow logging (`console.log`) in test files, and in development mode
(e.g. when working with `npm run serve`), but disable it when
environment is production (as pre-configured by Vue). Also add flag
(`--mode production`) in `lint:eslint` command so production linting is
executed earlier in lifecycle.
Disable rules that requires a separate work. Such as ESLint rules that
are broken in TypeScript: no-useless-constructor (eslint/eslint#14118)
and no-shadow (eslint/eslint#13014).
- 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
