We’ve been working on migrating a Royale project to Adobe’s UXP environment.
Release build works, but debug build does not because of some of the inner
workings in the goog library.
AIUI, the main blocker is:
goog.inHtmlDocument_ = function() {
/** @type {!Document} */
var doc = goog.global.document;
return doc != null && 'write' in doc; // XULDocument misses write.
};
UXP does not have document.write so goog.addDependency, goog.require and
goog.base do not work correctly.
I’ve also noticed that recently browsers seem to be taking much longer to load
scripts in debug mode. I suspect that’s because document.write is deprecated.
Because of this, I’d really like to explore removing the reliance on
document.write and instead write script tags to load the scripts (in the
correct order).
We’re going to need to figure out what to do with goog.provide and goog.require
which is written into classes.
How necessary is that? Can we just use ES6 instead? Should we rewrite some of
the goog functions to do more precisely what we need?
Thoughts?
