Promises make asynchronous operations easier to manage, in particular
when used through the async/await syntax that allows for asynchronous
code to closely resemble synchronous one.
gjs has included a Gio._promisify() helper for a while now, which
monkey-patches methods that follow GIO's async pattern to return a
Promise when called without a callback argument.
Use that to get rid of all those GAsyncReadyCallbacks!

Doing blocking IO in a graphical UI is bad, doing it in the compositor
is much much worse. So even if handling VPN requests is a relatively
rare event, doing it asynchronously is better.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2386
libnm doesn't only search for plugins in the regular VPN plugin directory,
but also in the legacy location and the directory pointed to by the
NM_VPN_PLUGIN_DIR environment variable (if set).
We don't monitor the additional directories, so it's possible for our cache
to become outdated.
Instead of trying to play catch-up with libnm's internals, do what nm-applet
does and use the appropriate API to look up the plugin on each request.

xgettext gained some support for template strings, and no longer
fails when encountering '/' somewhere between backticks.
Unfortunately its support is still buggy as hell, and it is now
silently dropping translatable strings, yay. I hate making the
code worse, but until xgettext really gets its shit together,
the only viable way forward seems to be to not use template
strings in any files listed in POTFILES.

With the new dialog design the descriptions of entries are now
implemented as hint-text of the StEntry. That means the colon at the end
of the descriptions no longer makes sense and should be removed.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/977
Since the headlines of the dialogs now use a much larger font, the
strings need to be shorter so they won't be ellipsized. So use a shorter
strings for those titles and also adjust the title-strings of the
notifications sent by the NetworkAgent to be consistent.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/942
Since MessageDialogContent.messageBox is going to be removed in a
subsequent commit, move the parts where it's used out of messageBox and
into the contentLayout instead. This will introduce wrong spacings in
some dialogs, which we're going to fix when implementing the redesigned
individual dialogs.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/886
Since commit 90a08ba0b6, we only open a network secret dialog immediately
in response to user action, and show a notification otherwise.
While for the actual request VPNs are handled separately from other connections,
this isn't true when we show the notification - we need to handle 'vpn' together
with the other types there, or we fall through to the default 'invalid type'
exception.

Use the new StPasswordEntry for password entry fields
and remove all direct handling of clutter text of the entry
via clutter_text_set_password_char to show/hide the password
text. StPasswordEntry will provides a peek-password-icon which
will allow to show/hide the password present in the field to
the user in subsequent commits.

ES6 allows to omit property names where they match the name of the
assigned variable, which makes code less redunant and thus cleaner.
We will soon enforce that in our eslint rules, so make sure we use
the shorthand wherever possible.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/805
Every since commit aa394754, StBoxLayout has supported ClutterActor's
expand/align properties in addition to the container-specific child
properties. Given that that's the only container left with a special
child meta, it's time to fully embrace the generic properties (and
eventually remove the child meta).

As arrow functions have an implicit return value, an assignment of
this.foo = bar could have been intended as a this.foo === bar
comparison. To catch those errors, we will disallow these kinds
of assignments unless they are marked explicitly by an extra pair
of parentheses.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/731
We currently use no less than three different ways of indenting
object literals:
let obj1 = {
foo: 42,
bar: 23,
};
let obj2 = { foo: 42,
bar: 23 };
let obj3 = { foo: 42,
bar: 23
};
The first is the one we want to use everywhere eventually, while the
second is the most commonly used "legacy" style.
It is the third one that is most problematic, as it throws off eslint
fairly badly: It violates both the rule to have consistent line breaks
in braces as well as the indentation style of both regular and legacy
configurations.
Fortunately the third style was mostly used for tween parameters, so
is quite rare after the Tweener purge. Get rid of the remaining ones
to cut down on pre-existing eslint errors.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/716
While we aren't using those destructured variables, they are still useful
to document the meaning of those elements. We don't want eslint to keep
warning about them though, so mark them accordingly.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/627
Braces are optional for single-line arrow functions, but there's a
subtle difference:
Without braces, the expression is implicitly used as return value; with
braces, the function returns nothing unless there's an explicit return.
We currently reflect that in our style by only omitting braces when the
function is expected to have a return value, but that's not very obvious,
not an important differentiation to make, and not easy to express in an
automatic rule.
So just omit braces consistently as mandated by gjs' coding style.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/608
While we have some style inconsistencies - mostly regarding split lines,
i.e. aligning to the first arguments vs. a four-space indent - there are
a couple of places where the spacing is simply wrong. Fix those.
Spotted by eslint.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/608
We are currently inconsistent with whether or not to put a space
after catch clauses. While the predominant style is to omit it,
that's inconsistent with the style we use for any other statement.
There's not really a good reason to stick with it, so switch to
the style gjs/eslint default to.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/607
While allowed by the syntax, they are problematic because the
variable is in the scope of the switch() statement, but only
valid if a particular case clause is reached.
Add braces to limit the variables' scope to the corresponding
case clause to avoid that problem.
Spotted by eslint.

We can use that newer method where we don't care about the actual position
of an element inside the array.
(Array.includes() and Array.indexOf() do behave differently in edge cases,
for example in the handling of NaN, but those don't matter to us)

Make the dialog a widget itself, removing the `_group` property used for
handling the actor.
Update all the inherited classes to be also GObject implementations, moving all
the signals to proper object ones.

When connecting to a Wi-Fi router that supports the WPS button method
(PBC, push button connection) the user can simply press the button on
the router. Show an explanation in the PSK prompt when this is
possible.

ES6 finally adds standard class syntax to the language, so we can
replace our custom Lang.Class framework with the new syntax. Any
classes that inherit from GObject will need special treatment,
so limit the port to regular javascript classes for now.

The `hints` and `settingName` parameters to the agent call may define
the specific list of secrets NM actually needs from the user. This
seems to have been the intended use of these two parameters but only
recently did NM with the IWD backend start to use this to request 802.1x
secrets. So if `hints` is provided, ask user for the specific secrets
listed there and don't even look at what type of EAP method is in use.
Only the three types of secrets actually in use by NM's IWD backend are
supported for now -- they happen to be the same three that
_get8021xSecrets() had already supported.
While the libnm-glib version of the function returns a GByteArray*
that gjs can directly cast to the required gutf8*, the libnm function
returns GBytes* from which we need to explicitly fetch the data.

When not using arrow notation with anonymous functions, we use Lang.bind()
to bind `this` to named callbacks. However since ES5, this functionality
is already provided by Function.prototype.bind() - in fact, Lang.bind()
itself uses it when no extra arguments are specified. Just use the built-in
function directly where possible, and use arrow notation in the few places
where we pass additional arguments.
