[Feature Request] add loader to use other loader

[dimdamin]

Hi, can You add loader to use other loader, i use Xiao Fleaud
my load script

// ==UserScript==
// @name            Second Sidebar for Firefox
// @description     A Firefox userChrome.js script for adding a second sidebar with web panels like in Vivaldi/Floorp/Zen.
// @author          aminought
// @include         main
// @homepageURL     https://github.com/aminought/firefox-second-sidebar
// ==/UserScript==

if (location.href.startsWith("chrome://browser/content/browser.x")) {
	(async url => {
		(await ChromeUtils.compileScript(`data:,"use strict";import("${url}").catch(console.error)`)).executeInGlobal(window);
	})(Services.io.newURI(Components.stack.filename).resolve("second_sidebar.uc.mjs"));
}

I'm sorry, I'm not really a web developer, and I don't understand some things. What exactly is going on in this code, and why doesn't it work without it?

[aminought]

I have done some research on the topic and tried the loader myself. To be honest, I wasn't very impressed, but that doesn't matter. I just can't see this script fitting into the codebase at the moment. However, I can include it in the installation instructions and mention you there.

[dimdamin]

Thank You. Yes you can...
no more need, you use fx-config API

I'm using alice0775's loader.
In addition to this script, I also need to modify second_sidebar.uc.mjs
change

UC_API.Runtime.startupFinished().then(run);

to

run();

[aminought]

@benzBrake does this loader support *.mjs scripts?

[benzBrake]

@benzBrake does this loader support *.mjs scripts?

As far as I know, only fx-autoconfig adds the function of automatically loading mjs, and other Loaders require the script from @dimdamin

[aminought]

In addition to this script, I also need to modify second_sidebar.uc.mjs

I think I'll replace it with something like this:

if (typeof UC_API !== 'undefined') {
  UC_API.Runtime.startupFinished().then(run);
} else {
  run();
}

[dimdamin]

FYI

// ==UserScript==
// @name            Second Sidebar for Firefox
// @description     A Firefox userChrome.js script for adding a second sidebar with web panels like in Vivaldi/Floorp/Zen.
// @author          aminought
// @homepageURL     https://github.com/aminought/firefox-second-sidebar
// ==/UserScript==

import { SidebarDecorator } from "./second_sidebar/sidebar_decorator.mjs";
import { SidebarInjector } from "./second_sidebar/sidebar_injector.mjs";

//const run = () => {
(async () => {
  await delayedStartupPromise;
  SidebarInjector.inject();
  SidebarDecorator.decorate();
})();

//UC_API.Runtime.startupFinished().then(run);

[aminought]

await delayedStartupPromise;

It's not that simple.

[dimdamin]

This is an internal Firefox command in window and is available immediately when the script is loaded. The only thing left to do is to wait - “await window.delayedStartupPromise;” event “browser-delayed-startup-finished”
P.S. It`s not example, it working script or working solution

[aminought]

OK:

if (typeof UC_API !== 'undefined') {
  UC_API.Runtime.startupFinished().then(run);
} else {
  delayedStartupPromise.then(run);
}

[dimdamin]

Firefox native function => work on all loader`szzzzz

(async () => {
  await delayedStartupPromise;
  SidebarInjector.inject();
  SidebarDecorator.decorate();
})();

native function work on all loader`szzzzz

delayedStartupPromise.then(run);

external function work only in fx-autoconfig

UC_API.Runtime.startupFinished().then(run);

please close this issues with don`t planet...

[aminought]

OK:

if (typeof UC_API !== 'undefined') {
  UC_API.Runtime.startupFinished().then(run);
} else {
  delayedStartupPromise.then(run);
}

OMG, this code works on all loaders.

[aminought]

Let's figure out something. This is a script for fx-autoconfig, which I'm only testing in this loader. However, I have tried to write the rest of the code, excluding second_sidebar.uc.mjs, so that it will be supported everywhere. For second_sidebar.uc.mjs, I have proposed a solution that will work everywhere, but will take advantage of fx-autoconfig when used.

@dimdamin I don't enjoy your way of communication. I'm starting to regret not using the fx-autoconfig API as much as possible.
