/*
EditorWatchdogManager is used for end-to-end checks of edits.
The editor UI is backed by Ace and CodeMirrors, which in turn are connected
to ShareJs documents in the frontend.
Edits propagate from the editor to ShareJs and are send through socket.io
and real-time to document-updater.
In document-updater edits are integrated into the document history and
a confirmation/rejection is sent back to the frontend.
Along the way things can get lost.
We have certain safe-guards in place, but are still getting occasional
reports of lost edits.
EditorWatchdogManager is implementing the basis for end-to-end checks on
two levels:
- local/ShareJsDoc: edits that pass-by a ShareJs document shall get
acknowledged eventually.
- global: any edits made in the editor shall get acknowledged eventually,
independent for which ShareJs document (potentially none) sees it.
How does this work?
===================
The global check is using a global EditorWatchdogManager that is available
via the angular factory 'ide'.
Local/ShareJsDoc level checks will connect to the global instance.
Each EditorWatchdogManager keeps track of the oldest un-acknowledged edit.
When ever a ShareJs document receives an acknowledgement event, a local
EditorWatchdogManager will see it and also notify the global instance about
it.
The next edit cycle will clear the oldest un-acknowledged timestamp in case
a new ack has arrived, otherwise it will bark loud! via the timeout handler.
Scenarios
=========
- User opens the CodeMirror editor
- attach global check to new CM instance
- detach Ace from the local EditorWatchdogManager
- when the frontend attaches the CM instance to ShareJs, we also
attach it to the local EditorWatchdogManager
- the internal attach process writes the document content to the editor,
which in turn emits 'change' events. These event need to be excluded
from the watchdog. EditorWatchdogManager.ignoreEditsFor takes care
of that.
- User opens the Ace editor (again)
- (attach global check to the Ace editor, only one copy of Ace is around)
- detach local EditorWatchdogManager from CM
- likewise with CM, attach Ace to the local EditorWatchdogManager
- User makes an edit
- the editor will emit a 'change' event
- the global EditorWatchdogManager will process it first
- the local EditorWatchdogManager will process it next
- Document-updater confirms an edit
- the local EditorWatchdogManager will process it first, it passes it on to
- the global EditorWatchdogManager will process it next
Time
====
The delay between edits and acks is measured using a monotonic clock:
`performance.now()`.
It is agnostic to system clock changes in either direction and timezone
changes do not affect it as well.
Roughly speaking, it is initialized with `0` when the `window` context is
created, before our JS app boots.
As per canIUse.com and MDN `performance.now()` is available to all supported
Browsers, including IE11.
