.save calls ._initSave(), _saveData(), _finalizeSave() internally passing `env` object to each to act as an environment for passing around variables
* _initSave should determine if the save is possible and return a promise for either `true` or `false`. It should also set up the environment, e.g. determine if this `isNew`
* _saveData performs the actual saving to the database, but should not do any terminal steps in the save process so that any extending classes could extend this method to write additional data to the database
* _finalizeSave should perform any finalization before the data is committed to the database.
_recoverFromSaveError is called with `env` and an error that occurred. This method should perform any recovery steps, e.g. discarding the save and reloading the item from the database into the cache.
* getDomDocument: returns a detached DOMDocument object
* dom2text (TODO): Currently just returns Node.textContent, but is intended to return Zotero-formatted string based on text formatting in the DOM and the Zotero.Item field that the text is meant for
It's way too slow, though, since the whole list is regenerated after
merging.
Fixes#519
Also:
- The arguments to Zotero.Item.prototype.clone() have changed, and it no
longer takes an existing item or copies primary data. To create an
in-memory copy of an item, use the new Zotero.Item.prototype.copy().
- Zotero.Item.prototype.getUsedFields() now gets in-memory fields rather
than the fields in the database
Our modifications no longer include a custom yield handler to
automatically call all() on yielded arrays (which maintained Bluebird
1.x behavior). It's now necessary to call all() or similar explicitly.
Also fixed a few incorrect yields hidden by that behavior.
Previously, 'collection' and 'savedSearch' conditions used
"[libraryID]_[key]" format. Now, the condition should contain only a
key, and the libraryID will be drawn from either the search itself or a
libraryID search condition. Old-style conditions are still parsed if
provided.
- Protocol handler extensions can now handle promises and can also make
data available as it's ready instead of all at once (e.g., reports now
output one entry at a time)
- zotero:// URL syntaxes are now more consistent and closer to the web
API (old URLs should work, but some may currently be broken)
Also:
- Code to generate server API, currently available for testing via
zotero://data URLs but eventually moving to HTTP -- zotero://data URLs match
web API URLs, with a different prefix for the personal library (/library vs.
/users/12345)
- Miscellaneous fixes to data objects
Under the hood:
- Extensions now return an AsyncChannel, which is an nsIChannel implementation
that takes a promise-yielding generator that returns a string,
nsIAsyncInputStream, or file that will be used for the channel's data
- New function Zotero.Utilities.Internal.getAsyncInputStream() takes a
generator that yields either promises or strings and returns an async input
stream filled with the yielded strings
- Zotero.Router parsers URLs and extract parameters
- Zotero.Item.toResponseJSON()
And remove UDF setup code
Duplicates view also used REGEXP, so we'll need to figure out another approach
for the async rewrite of that (#519). There are no other current UDF consumers,
so this closes#528.
