* Fix double scrollbars in deck options
* Remove !important
Future pages may want to override overflow-x (?) and it doesn't seem to change anything for now.
* Allow the body to expand vertically in the import CSV page
* Give deck browser table an elevated container look
* Tweak colors of elevated containers (e.g. in deck options)
* Prepare editor fields for custom backgrounds
* Tweak field margin and add explanatory comment
(for upgrading users, please see the notes at the bottom)
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
Section content is being obscured under the headings, causing settings
not to be seen, and text to appear in unusual places like under the
importing bar at the bottom. Until a better solution can be found, this
should allow things to be shown properly.

* 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

* 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.

* 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.

* Make border-subtle color a shade brighter in light theme
* Use border-subtle for NoteEditor and EditorToolbar border
* Small patches
* Don't use special label for tags column
This was setting the label of whichever column the user chose for tags
to "Tags". Showing field content is more helpful.
* Map tags column automatically like fields
* Fix footer moving upwards
* Fix column detection
Was broken because escaped line breaks were not considered.
Also removes delimiter detection on `#columns:` line. User must use tabs
or set delimiter beforehand.
* Add CSV preview
* Parse `#tags column:`
* Optionally export deck and notetype with CSV
* Avoid clones in CSV export
* Prevent bottom of page appearing under footer (dae)
* Increase padding to 1em (dae)
With 0.5em, when a vertical scrollbar is shown, it sits right next to
the right edge of the content, making it look like there's no right
margin.
* Experimental changes to make table fit+scroll (dae)
- limit individual cells to 15em, and show ellipses when truncated
- limit total table width to body width, so that inner table is shown
with scrollbar
- use class rather than id - ids are bad practice in Svelte components,
as more than one may be displayed on a single page
* Skip importing foreign notes with filtered decks
Were implicitly imported into the default deck before.
Also some refactoring to fetch deck ids and names beforehand.
* Hide spacer below hidden field mapping
* Fix guid being replaced when updating note
* Fix dupe identity check

* Only allow fixed set of CSV delimiters
* Map timestamp of ForeignCard to native due time
* Don't trim CSV records
* Document use of empty strings for defaults
* Avoid creating CardGenContexts for every note
This requires CardGenContext to be generic, so it works both with an
owned and borrowed notetype.
* Show all accepted file types in import file picker
* Add import_json_file()
* factor → ease_factor
* delimter_from_value → delimiter_from_value
* Map columns to fields, not the other way around
* Fallback to current config for csv metadata
* Add start of new import csv screen
* Temporary fix for compilation issue on Linux/Mac
* Disable jest bazel action for import-csv
Jest fails with an error code if no tests are available, but this would
not be noticable on Windows as Jest is not run there.
* Fix field mapping issue
* Revert "Temporary fix for compilation issue on Linux/Mac"
This reverts commit 21f8a261408cdae49ec031aa21a1b659c4f66d82.

* Allow dupe resolution selection when importing CSV
* Test import of unnormalized text
Close #1863.
* Fix logging of foreign notes
* Implement CSV exports
* Use db_scalar() in notes_table_len()
* Rework CSV metadata
- Notetypes and decks are either defined by a global id or by a column.
- If a notetype id is provided, its field map must also be specified.
- If a notetype column is provided, fields are now mapped by index
instead of name at import time. So the first non-meta column is used for
the first field of every note, regardless of notetype. This makes
importing easier and should improve compatiblity with files without a
notetype column.
- Ensure first field can be mapped to a column.
- Meta columns must be defined as `#[meta name]:[column index]` instead
of in the `#columns` tag.
- Column labels contain the raw names defined by the file and must be
prettified by the frontend.
* Adjust frontend to new backend column mapping
* Add force flags for is_html and delimiter
* Detect if CSV is HTML by field content
* Update dupe resolution labels
