Xpra-html-vue

Brings xpra-html5 to Vue.js (Vue3 + Webpack 5), and throw away those old stuffs (jQuery ...).

Benefits:

  • Modern Javascript syntax
  • Modern browser function (WebCodecs, Media Source Extensions, OffscreenCanvas, ...)
  • Never reinventing the wheel
  • Easily comprehensible
  • Easily maintaining and extending
  • Easily integrated with other system

Compatibility:

  • This project has been tested on Xpra server version v4.3.2, and may not work on previous version.
  • Tested on Firefox (99.0.1), Chrome (99.0.4). IE is not supported at all and you know why.
  • Mobile browser is not fully supported.

Working in progress:

  • Printing
  • Scale
  • File transfer
  • Connection settings
  • Auto reconnect

Some details you may care about:

  • bencode is removed because it does not distinguish bytes and strings.
  • rencodelegacy is removed because of bad performance.
  • packet_encoder is immutable because only rencodeplus is supported.
  • Only support parsing protocol data in Web Worker mode
  • Only support painting in decode_worker mode
  • Bug report is removed
  • Floating menu is removed
  • Broadway decoder is removed
  • Aurora decoder is removed
  • clipboard_targets only support plain text to reduce the complexity
  • clipboard.selections removed PRIMARY
  • Invisible pasteboard is removed

Known bugs (xpra-html5 also has these problems):

  • Unable to fetch clipboard data from server (but pushing works fine)
  • Unable to type accents (éèêëẽ)
  • Unable to use IME (Input Method)
  • Unable to copy-cut-paste non-ascii characters

Only xpra-html5-vue have these problems:

  • Unable to use authentication/encryption
  • Incorrect position of override-redirect windows (seems the server sent wrong x,y value)

Only xpra-html5 have these problems:

  • Maximize a window and refresh the tab, then unable to restore the maximized window (stored original size is discarded)

If you know how to fix them, don't hesitate to submit your PRs! :)

  • xpra start --start=gnome-calculator --daemon=no --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:10000
