This changes the way item types, item fields, creator types, and CSL
mappings are defined and handled, in preparation for updated types and
fields.
Instead of being predefined in SQL files or code, type/field info is
read from a bundled JSON file shared with other parts of the Zotero
ecosystem [1], referred to as the "global schema". Updates to the
bundled schema file are automatically applied to the database at first
run, allowing changes to be made consistently across apps.
When syncing, invalid JSON properties are now rejected instead of being
ignored and processed later, which will allow for schema changes to be
made without causing problems in existing clients. We considered many
alternative approaches, but this approach is by far the simplest,
safest, and most transparent to the user.
For now, there are no actual changes to types and fields, since we'll
first need to do a sync cut-off for earlier versions that don't reject
invalid properties.
For third-party code, the main change is that type and field IDs should
no longer be hard-coded, since they may not be consistent in new
installs. For example, code should use `Zotero.ItemTypes.getID('note')`
instead of hard-coding `1`.

nsIURL doesn't seem to work anymore, so add Zotero.Utilities.parseURL(),
which uses the `url` package from NPM and adds fileName, fileExtension,
and fileBaseName.
- Use react-virtualized to render tags on demand, reducing the number
of DOM elements from potentially tens of thousands to <100. This
requires tags to be absolutely positioned, so sizing and
positioning need to be precomputed rather than relying on CSS.
- Avoid unnecessary refreshes, speed up tag retrieval, and optimize
sorting
- Debounce reflowing when resizing tag selector
Also:
- Scroll to top when changing collections
- Allow tags to take up full width of tag selector without truncation
Closes#1649Closes#281
- Added icon-button UI code for the menubutton
- Upgrade to React 16 to allow non-standard attrs, such as `tooltiptext`
to support XUL tooltips
- Add i18n support for React UI elements
- Update tests for reactified tag selector
* Remove gulp, replace with custom scripts
* Symlink entire dirs where possible (fixes#1232)
* Significantly speed up subsequent builds (fixes#1238)
* Watch process now observes new/removed files, not only changed
* Add ignoreMask, exclude all files with names starting with a #
* Better logging during builds
* Update travis.yml to use new, non-gulp-based build
