Replaces RequireJS to SystemJS. #8050

yurydelendik · 2017-02-09T15:58:25Z

Removes RequireJS dependency since it will be hard to adapt ES6 module transpilers. It will be easier with SystemJS. Questions to resolve:

Central configuration (vs SystemJS.config in multiple places)
Dependency on Promise for legacy browsers (increase bar or move Promise polyfill to compatibility.js), e.g. we use that in some examples.

Dependency on Promise for legacy browsers (increase bar or move Promise polyfill to compatibility.js), e.g. we use that in some examples.

Personally I feel that support for older browsers are now seriously holding us back from using many of the really nice new features in ES6, and I would wholeheartedly support increasing the minimum requirements for using PDF.js.

My suggestion is that version 1.7.225 (the current pre-release) should be the last version with support for pre-ES6 browsers, and that going forward only ES6 compatible browsers/environments will be supported.

Such a requirement would mean that most, if not all, compatibility code could be removed; furthermore it'd also reduce the support burden since we'd no longer need to add any new compatibility hacks (which would be nice, given the limited number of regular PDF.js contributors).
Obviously such a decision would need to be communicated publicly not just in the Wiki/README, but also on the mailing list/Twitter first. However I really think that this is the way forward here!

We can use a transpiler (like babel) to support old browsers and still have all the shiny new stuff.

Do we still need this now that we have systemjs.config.js that seems to define this correctly? Compare to examples/helloworld/hello.js that also doesn't have this.

Why is this change necessary? Shouldn't this block be moved to compatibility.js?

It's needed only for requirejs (and probably for SystemJS as well) -- our tests were failing without it. Since we are not using src/worker_loader.js in the production anyway, I decided to remove the pre-processor from here.

Nit: one space too much here in the indentation

+          .then(function (modules) {
+      var pdfjsSharedUtil = modules[4];


I think we can get rid of this intermediate variable and make the next line window.pdfjsSharedUtil = modules[4]; directly. The intermediate variable doesn't provide more clarity about what's happening.

The indentation is inconsistent with the rest of the files. I'd prefer if we keep the same indentation as we do for other files here as well, i.e., indent with two spaces (I don't mind the diff being a few lines larger).

+           .then(function (modules) {
+      var web = modules[0];


Can we call this variable app instead? It's a bit confusing because web for me refers to the entire web folder, whereas app is clearly only app.js.
