* Fix hide mode dropdown ignoring checkbox state on startup
* Fix typing issue
* Refine background image handling
Giving the toolbar body the main webview height ensures background-size: cover behaves exactly the same.
To prevent an override of other background properties, users are advised to only set background-images via the background-image property, not the background shorthand.
* Fix top toolbar getting huge when switching modes
The issue was caused by the min-height hack to align the background images. A call to web.adjustHeightToFit would set the toolbar to the same height as the main webview, as the function makes use of document.offsetHeight.

On Mac with native theme, both Qt5 and Qt6 look correct already. On
the Anki theme, without this change, we get the fusion-style scrollbars
instead of the rounded ones.

* Format
* Remove unused placeholderText
that caused an error when opening the widget gallery on Qt5.

also exclude native option from dropdown just in case.
* Format
* Minor naming tweak
* Give webviews a slide-in animation

Bazel brought a lot of nice things to the table, such as rebuilds based on
content changes instead of modification times, caching of build products,
detection of incorrect build rules via a sandbox, and so on. Rewriting the build
in Bazel was also an opportunity to improve on the Makefile-based build we had
prior, which was pretty poor: most dependencies were external or not pinned, and
the build graph was poorly defined and mostly serialized. It was not uncommon
for fresh checkouts to fail due to floating dependencies, or for things to break
when trying to switch to an older commit.
For day-to-day development, I think Bazel served us reasonably well - we could
generally switch between branches while being confident that builds would be
correct and reasonably fast, and not require full rebuilds (except on Windows,
where the lack of a sandbox and the TS rules would cause build breakages when TS
files were renamed/removed).
Bazel achieves that reliability by defining rules for each programming language
that define how source files should be turned into outputs. For the rules to
work with Bazel's sandboxing approach, they often have to reimplement or
partially bypass the standard tools that each programming language provides. The
Rust rules call Rust's compiler directly for example, instead of using Cargo,
and the Python rules extract each PyPi package into a separate folder that gets
added to sys.path.
These separate language rules allow proper declaration of inputs and outputs,
and offer some advantages such as caching of build products and fine-grained
dependency installation. But they also bring some downsides:
- The rules don't always support use-cases/platforms that the standard language
tools do, meaning they need to be patched to be used. I've had to contribute a
number of patches to the Rust, Python and JS rules to unblock various issues.
- The dependencies we use with each language sometimes make assumptions that do
not hold in Bazel, meaning they either need to be pinned or patched, or the
language rules need to be adjusted to accommodate them.
I was hopeful that after the initial setup work, things would be relatively
smooth-sailing. Unfortunately, that has not proved to be the case. Things
frequently broke when dependencies or the language rules were updated, and I
began to get frustrated at the amount of Anki development time I was instead
spending on build system upkeep. It's now about 2 years since switching to
Bazel, and I think it's time to cut losses, and switch to something else that's
a better fit.
The new build system is based on a small build tool called Ninja, and some
custom Rust code in build/. This means that to build Anki, Bazel is no longer
required, but Ninja and Rust need to be installed on your system. Python and
Node toolchains are automatically downloaded like in Bazel.
This new build system should result in faster builds in some cases:
- Because we're using cargo to build now, Rust builds are able to take advantage
of pipelining and incremental debug builds, which we didn't have with Bazel.
It's also easier to override the default linker on Linux/macOS, which can
further improve speeds.
- External Rust crates are now built with opt=1, which improves performance
of debug builds.
- Esbuild is now used to transpile TypeScript, instead of invoking the TypeScript
compiler. This results in faster builds, by deferring typechecking to test/check
time, and by allowing more work to happen in parallel.
As an example of the differences, when testing with the mold linker on Linux,
adding a new message to tags.proto (which triggers a recompile of the bulk of
the Rust and TypeScript code) results in a compile that goes from about 22s on
Bazel to about 7s in the new system. With the standard linker, it's about 9s.
Some other changes of note:
- Our Rust workspace now uses cargo-hakari to ensure all packages agree on
available features, preventing unnecessary rebuilds.
- pylib/anki is now a PEP420 implicit namespace, avoiding the need to merge
source files and generated files into a single folder for running. By telling
VSCode about the extra search path, code completion now works with generated
files without needing to symlink them into the source folder.
- qt/aqt can't use PEP420 as it's difficult to get rid of aqt/__init__.py.
Instead, the generated files are now placed in a separate _aqt package that's
added to the path.
- ts/lib is now exposed as @tslib, so the source code and generated code can be
provided under the same namespace without a merging step.
- MyPy and PyLint are now invoked once for the entire codebase.
- dprint will be used to format TypeScript/json files in the future instead of
the slower prettier (currently turned off to avoid causing conflicts). It can
automatically defer to prettier when formatting Svelte files.
- svelte-check is now used for typechecking our Svelte code, which revealed a
few typing issues that went undetected with the old system.
- The Jest unit tests now work on Windows as well.
If you're upgrading from Bazel, updated usage instructions are in docs/development.md and docs/build.md. A summary of the changes:
- please remove node_modules and .bazel
- install rustup (https://rustup.rs/)
- install rsync if not already installed (on windows, use pacman - see docs/windows.md)
- install Ninja (unzip from https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases/tag/v1.11.1 and
place on your path, or from your distro/homebrew if it's 1.10+)
- update .vscode/settings.json from .vscode.dist
* Remove --medium-border variable
* Implement color palette using Sass maps
I hand-picked the gray tones, the other colors are from the Tailwind CSS v3 palette.
Significant changes:
- light theme is brighter
- dark theme is darker
- borders are softer
I also deleted some platform- and night-mode-specific code.
* Use custom colors for note view switch
* Use same placeholder color for all inputs
* Skew color palette for more dark values
by removing gray[3], which wasn't used anywhere. Slight adjustments were made to the darker tones.
* Adjust frame- window- and border colors
* Give deck browser entries --frame-bg as background color
* Define styling for QComboBox and QLineEdit globally
* Experiment with CSS filter for inline-colors
Inside darker inputs, some colors like dark blue will be hard to read, so we could try to improve text-color contrast with global adjustments depending on the theme.
* Use different map structure for _vars.scss
after @hgiesel's idea: https://github.com/ankitects/anki/pull/2016#discussion_r947087871
* Move custom QLineEdit styles out of searchbar.py
* Merge branch 'main' into color-palette
* Revert QComboBox stylesheet override
* Align gray color palette more with macOS
* Adjust light theme
* Use --slightly-grey-text for options tab color
* Replace gray tones with more neutral values
* Improve categorization of global colors
by renaming almost all of them and sorting them into separate maps.
* Saturate highlight-bg in light theme
* Tweak gray tones
* Adjust box-shadow of EditingArea to make fields look inset
* Add Sass functions to access color palette and semantic variables
in response to https://github.com/ankitects/anki/pull/2016#issuecomment-1220571076
* Showcase use of access functions in several locations
@hgiesel in buttons.scss I access the color palette directly. Is this what you meant by "... keep it local to the component, and possibly make it global at a later time ..."?
* Fix focus box shadow transition and remove default shadow for a cleaner look
I couldn't quite get the inset look the way I wanted, because inset box-shadows do not respect the border radius, therefore causing aliasing.
* Tweak light theme border and shadow colors
* Add functions and colors to base_lib
* Add vars_lib as dependency to base_lib and button_mixins_lib
* Improve uses of default-themed variables
* Use old --frame-bg color and use darker tone for canvas-default
* Return CSS var by default and add palette-of function for raw value
* Showcase use of palette-of function
The #{...} syntax is required only because the use cases are CSS var definitions. In other cases a simple palette-of(keyword, theme) would suffice.
* Light theme: decrease brightness of canvas-default and adjust fg-default
* Use canvas-inset variable for switch knob
* Adjust light theme
* Add back box-shadow to EditingArea
* Light theme: darken background and flatten transition
also set hue and saturation of gray-8 to 0 (like all the other grays).
* Reduce flag colors to single default value
* Tweak card/note accent colors
* Experiment with inset look for fields again
Is this too dark in night mode? It's the same color used for all other text inputs.
* Dark theme: make border-default one shade darker
* Tweak inset shadow color
* Dark theme: make border-faint darker than canvas-default
meaning two shades darker than it currently was.
* Fix PlainTextInput not expanding
* Dark theme: use less saturated flag colors
* Adjust gray tones
* Fix nested variables not getting extracted correctly
* Rename canvas-outset to canvas-elevated
* Light theme: darken canvas-default
* Make canvas-elevated a bit darker
* Rename variables and use them in various components

* Remove fusion vars from Anki
* Adjust button gradients
* Refactor button mixins
* Fix deck browser table td background color
* Use color function in buttons.scss
* Rework QTabWidget stylesheet
* Fix crash on browser open
* Perfect QTableView header
* Fix bottom toolbar button gradient
* Fix focus outline of bottom toolbar buttons
* Fix custom webview scrollbar
* Fix uses of vars in various webviews
The command @use vars as * lead to repeated inclusion of the CSS vars.
* Enable primary button color with mixin
* Run prettier
* Fix Python code style issues
* Tweak colors
* Lighten scrollbar shades in light theme
* Fix code style issues caused by merge
* Fix harsh border color in editor
caused by leftover --medium-border variables, probably introduced with a merge commit.
* Compile Sass before extracting Python colors/props
This means the Python side doesn't need to worry about the map structure and Sass functions, just copy the output CSS values.
* Desaturate primary button colors by 10%
* Convert accidentally capitalized variable names to lowercase
* Simplify color definitions with qcolor function
* Remove default border-focus variable
* Remove redundant colon
* Apply custom scrollbar CSS only on Windows and Linux
* Make border-subtle color brighter than background in dark theme
* Make border-subtle color a shade brighter in light theme
* Use border-subtle for NoteEditor and EditorToolbar border
* Small patches
* Enable state-dependent custom scheduling data
* Next(Card)States -> SchedulingStates
The fact that `current` was included in `next` always bothered me,
and custom data is part of the card state, so that was a bit confusing
too.
* Store custom_data in SchedulingState
* Make custom_data optional when answering
Avoids having to send it 4 extra times to the frontend, and avoids the
legacy answerCard() API clobbering the stored data.
Co-authored-by: Damien Elmes <gpg@ankiweb.net>
* Add card meta for persisting custom scheduling state
* Rename meta -> custom_data
* Enforce limits on size of custom data
Large values will slow down table scans of the cards table, and it's
easier to be strict now and possibly relax things in the future than
the opposite.
* Pack card states and customData into a single message
+ default customData to empty if it can't be parsed
Co-authored-by: Damien Elmes <gpg@ankiweb.net>
* Allow webviews to opt in to default D&D handling
* Remove redundant webview.js include
* Block default drag & drop behavior in reviewing screens
* Fix mypy error
* Make eslint sort our imports
* fix missing deps in eslint rule (dae)
Caught on Linux due to the stricter sandboxing
* Remove exports-last eslint rule (for now?)
* Adjust browserslist settings
- We use ResizeObserver which is not supported in browsers like KaiOS,
Baidu or Android UC
* Raise minimum iOS version 13.4
- It's the first version that supports ResizeObserver
* Apply new eslint rules to sort imports
* Preload external css files to prevent flash of unstyled content
This is an implementation of the approach mentioned in the commit
message of 46b85d5.
* Tweak max_age value for css files
Ensure that css preloading works even on a slow PC.
The nice thing about the symlink approach is that it allowed tsc -b
to function without any changes to the tsconfig.json file, but it meant
there were extra links we had to maintain. So instead, we just add an
extra rootDirs entry, and add two commented-out lines that can be
uncommented when wanting to build with tsc directly.
ts_library() is deprecated and will presumably be dropped from a
future rules_nodejs, and it wasn't working with the jest tests
after updating, so we switch over to ts_project().
There are some downsides:
- It's a bit slower, as the worker mode doesn't appear to function
at the moment.
- Getting it working with a mix of source files and generated files
was quite tricky, especially as things behave differently on Windows,
and differently when editing with VS Code. Solved with a small patch
to the rules, and a wrapper script that copies everything into the
bin folder first. To keep VS Code working correctly as well, the built
files are symlinked into the source folder.
- TS libraries are not implicitly linked to node_modules, so they
can't be imported with an absolute name like "lib/proto" - we need
to use relative paths like "../lib/proto" instead. Adjusting "paths"
in tsconfig.json makes it work for TS compilation, but then it fails
at the esbuild stage. We could resolve it by wrapping the TS
libraries in a subsequent js_library() call, but that has the downside
of losing the transient dependencies, meaning they need to be listed
again. Alternatively we might be able to solve it in the future by
adjusting esbuild, but for now the paths have been made relative to
keep things simple.
Upsides:
- Along with updates to the Svelte tooling, Svelte typing has improved.
All exports made in a Svelte file are now visible to other files that
import them, and we no longer rebuild the Svelte files when TS files
are updated, as the Svelte files do no type checking themselves, and
are just a simple transpilation. Svelte-check now works on Windows again,
and there should be no errors when editing in VS Code after you've
built the project. The only downside seems to be that cmd+clicking
on a Svelte imports jumps to the .d.ts file instead of the original now;
presumably they'll fix that in a future plugin update.
- Each subfolder now has its own tsconfig.json, and tsc can be called
directly for testing purposes (but beware it will place build products
in the source tree): ts/node_modules/.bin/tsc -b ts
- We can drop the custom esbuild_toolchain, as it's included in the
latest rules_nodejs.
Other changes:
- "image_module_support" is moved into lib/, and imported with
<reference types=...>
- Images are now imported directly from their npm package; the
extra copy step has been removed.
Windows users may need to use "bazel clean" before building this,
due to old files lying around in the build folder.

Unlike when using <template> element, if a DocumentFragment is created
using Range.createContextualFragment(), <audio>/<video> elements
with `aotoplay` will play immediately even before they are inserted into
the actual document, which will cause audio or video on the answer side
