Implementing desktop-class productivity apps with Angular and Project Fugu 🅰️💘🐡

Chris is a GDE for Angular and web capabilities. In his hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to implement desktop-class productivity apps using the new Project Fugu web APIs. This joint project between Google, Intel, Microsoft, and others seeks to bring missing features to the web, including access to the local file system, clipboard, and registering Angular apps as default file handlers. Learn how you can finally bring productivity apps like IDEs, image editors, or office apps to the web! You also need to bring your own laptop to this workshop.

    ctx.fillStyle = 'white';
    ctx.fillRect(0, 0,
    canvas.width,

  15. Low-latency Rendering
    Implementing desktop-class productivity apps
    with Angular and Project Fugu 🅰💘🐡
    Paint
    Web pages need to synchronize with
    the DOM on graphics updates
    causing latencies that can make
    drawing difficult
    Low-latency rendering skips syncing
    with the DOM with can lead to a
    more natural experience
    Supported on Chrome (Chrome OS
    and Windows only)

  16. Low-latency Rendering
    Opt-in to low-latency rendering (app.js):

  17. Pointer Events
    Implementing desktop-class productivity apps
    with Angular and Project Fugu 🅰💘🐡
    Paint
    Users nowadays use different
    input methods, cross-platform
    apps should cover all of them
    Pointer Events offer an abstract
    interface to catch all input
    methods (pointerdown,
    pointermove, pointerup)
    event.offsetX/event.offsetY
    contain the pointer’s position
    relative to the listener

    View Slide

  18. Pointer Events
    1. In app.component.html, add event bindings for the pointer events:
    (pointerdown)="onPointerDown($event)"
    (pointermove)="onPointerMove($event)"
    (pointerup)="onPointerUp()"
    >
    2. In app.component.ts (onPointerMove()), draw the user input:
    this.context!.fillRect(event.offsetX, event.offsetY, 2, 2);

  19. Bresenham Line Algorithm
    The user may move faster than
    the input can be processed
    For this case, we need to
    remember the previous point
    and interpolate the points in
    between
    The Bresenham line algorithm
    calculates the missing pixels
    between two given points

  20. Bresenham Line Algorithm
    1. At the top of app.component.ts, a field called previousPoint to store
    the previous point:
    previousPoint?: { x: number, y: number };
    2. In onPointerDown(), set the current point as the previous point:
    this.previousPoint = { x: event.offsetX, y: event.offsetY };
    3. In onPointerUp(), set this.previousPoint to undefined.

    if (this.previousPoint) {
    const currentPoint = { x: event.offsetX, y: event.offsetY };
    for (const point of
    this.paintService.bresenhamLine(this.previousPoint,
    currentPoint)) {
    this.context!.fillRect(point.x, point.y, 2, 2);
    }
    this.previousPoint = currentPoint;

  22. Color Selection
    For this demo, we will only implement
    the brush tool. However, we want to
    bring in some color.
    A simple method to implement a
    color selection is to use the HTML
    color-type input element that shows
    the native color picker:

    const [handle] = params.files;
    if (handle) {
    const file = await handle.getFile();
    const image = await this.paintService.getImage(file);
    ctx.drawImage(image, 0, 0);

    3. Rebuild PWA: npm run pwa
    Note: Wait for a few seconds and reload the application after opening, as
    the PWA needs to fetch the new files first.

  66. Summary
    - Project Fugu helps the web to become more and more capable
    - Project Fugu APIs could bring many more app experiences to the web
    (IDEs, productivity apps, etc.)
    - But: Web is threatened by alternative approaches and platforms,
    support for modern Web API varies from platform to platform
    - You can make a difference!
    - File bugs in browser engine bugtrackers
    - File Fugu requests: https://goo.gle/new-fugu-request

  68. Overview
    Use available interfaces and functions of
    a system (opposite of Graceful
    Degradation)
    Users with modern, feature-rich browsers
    get a better experience
    Apps are available on older browsers, but
    with limited functionality
    Concept: Browser feature support should
    grow over time—thereby more users can
    enjoy an increasing number of features

  69. Overview
    if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) {
    navigator.serviceWorker.register(…)
    .then(() => /* … */);
    }
    In JavaScript: check whether an API/feature is available. If yes—use it!
    Otherwise:
    1. Disable the functionality
    2. Fall back to an alternative API (if available)

  70. Disabling unsupported features
    In app.component.ts, introduce the following check object:
    readonly supported = {
    open: 'showOpenFilePicker' in window,
    } as const;
    In app.component.html, disable the open button if the API is unsupported:

  71. Disabling unsupported features
    Introduce checks for the remaining APIs:
    1. Save: 'showSaveFilePicker' in window
    2. Copy: navigator.clipboard && 'write' in navigator.clipboard
    3. Paste: navigator.clipboard && 'read' in navigator.clipboard
    4. Share: 'canShare' in navigator

  72. Providing an alternative implementation
    1. In the save() method of app.component.ts, test for the existence of
    the showSaveFilePicker() method on the window object.
    2. If the method does not exist, fall back to the following code for save:
    const anchor = document.createElement('a');
    const url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
    anchor.href = url;
    anchor.download = '';
    anchor.click();
    URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
    3. Remove the compatibility check to always enable the button.

  78. New powerful APIs regularly ship with new releases of Chromium-based
    browsers
    Some only add minor finishing touches, others enable whole application
    categories as productivity apps to finally make the shift to the web
    Some APIs already made their way into other browsers (e.g., Web Share)
    Fugu process makes sure that capabilities are implemented in a secure,
    privacy-preserving manner
    Let’s make the web a more capable platform!
