The changes are enough to fulfill the related issue.
A new platform has been added in order to allow for building
a NodeJS package. From the root of the project:
./tools/make-nodejs
This will create new uBlock0.nodejs directory in the
./dist/build directory, which is a valid NodeJS package.
From the root of the package, you can try:
node test
This will instantiate a static network filtering engine,
populated by easylist and easyprivacy, which can be used
to match network requests by filling the appropriate
filtering context object.
The test.js file contains code which is typical example
of usage of the package.
Limitations: the NodeJS package can't execute the WASM
versions of the code since the WASM module requires the
use of fetch(), which is not available in NodeJS.
This is a first pass at modularizing the codebase, and
while at it a number of opportunistic small rewrites
have also been made.
This commit requires the minimum supported version for
Chromium and Firefox be raised to 61 and 60 respectively.
Regex-based static network filters are those most likely to
cause performance degradation, and as such the best guard
against undue performance degradation caused by regex-based
filters is the ability to extract valid and good tokens
from regex patterns.
This commit introduces a complete regex parser so that the
static network filtering engine can now safely extract
tokens regardless of the complexity of the regex pattern.
The regex parser is a library imported from:
https://github.com/foo123/RegexAnalyzer
The syntax highlighter adds an underline to regex-based
filters as a visual aid to filter authors so as to avoid
mistakenly creating regex-based filters. This commit
further colors the underline as a warning when a regex-based
filter is found to be untokenizable.
Filter list authors are invited to spot these untokenizable
regex-based filters in their lists to verify that no
mistake were made for those filters, causing them to be
untokenizabke. For example, what appears to be a mistake:
/^https?:\/\/.*\/sw.js?.[a-zA-Z0-9%]{50,}/
Though the mistake is minor, the regex-based filter above
is untokenizable as a result, and become tokenizable when
the `.` is properly escaped:
/^https?:\/\/.*\/sw\.js?.[a-zA-Z0-9%]{50,}/
Filter list authors can use this search expression in the
asset viewer to find instances of regex-based filters:
/^(@@)?\/[^\n]+\/(\$|$)/
Before this commit, CodeMirror's add-on for search occurrences
was limited to find at most 1000 first occurrences, because of
performance considerations.
This commit removes this low limit by having the search
occurrences done in a dedicated worker. The limit is now
time-based, and highly unlikely to ever be hit under normal
condition.
With this change, all search occurrences are gathered,
and as a result:
- All occurrences are reported in the scrollbar instead of
just the 1,000 first
- The total count of all occurrences is now reported, instead
of capping at "1000+".
- The current occurrence rank at the cursor or selection
position is now reported -- this was not possible to report
this before.
The number of occurrences is line-based, it's not useful to
report finer-grained occurences in uBO.

CodeMirror's code folding reference:
- https://codemirror.net/doc/manual.html#addon_foldcode
This commit adds support for code-folding to the filter
list editor/viewer.
The following blocks of code are foldable by clicking the
corresponding marker in the gutter:
- !#if/#endif blocks
- !#include blocks
Addtionally, the following changes:
- The `!#include` line is now preserved when importing a
sublist
- The `!#if` directives will be syntax-colored according
to whether they evaluate to true or false on the current
platform
- Double-clicking on a foldable line in the gutter will
select the content of the foldable block
- Minor visual improvement to matching brackets
This commit adds CodeMirror's auto-completion capability
to the _My filters_ pane.
Currently, auto-completion is available for scriptlet
tokens: pressing ctrl-space while the text cursor is
positioned where a scriptlet token should appear will
cause auto-completion to kick-in. In case of ambiguity,
CodeMirror's widget to pick a specific scriptlet will
appear.
Rename `l` property to `len`, to avoid ambiguity as
`l` could mean _left_ or _length_. Typically `l` is
to be used for _left_ (whereas `r` is to be used for
_right_).
Additionally, add CodeMirror's bracket-matching and
bracket auto-closing to _My filters_ pane and and
bracket-matching to asset viewer page.
The Promise chain was not properly designed for WASM module
loading. This became apparent when removing WASM modules
from Opera build[1].
The problem was that errors thrown by fetch() -- used to
load WASM modules -- were not properly handled.
[1] Opera refuses updating uBO if there are unrecognized file
types in the package, and `.wasm`/`.wat` files are not
recognized by Opera uploader.
