fix the ability to restore tokens from a JSON text file
previous methodology:
=====================
* popup window:
- dynamically creates an input file element
- click event triggers the element to open the file chooser dialog
- processes the list of selected files by:
* reading the content of each file
* parsing its JSON
* passing the resulting object in a message to the background page
* background page:
- merges backup data with the tokens already saved in local storage
- updates local storage with this new aggregate value
- updates the popup window
problem with previous methodology:
==================================
* only works if the browser doesn't close the popup window
before the data is passed to the background page
* many browsers do close the popup window
when the file input dialog is triggered for selection of input files
new methodology:
================
* popup window:
- sends a message to the background page
* background page:
- opens a new tab and loads a static html page
* static html page:
- dynamically creates an input file element
- adds a click event handler to the element,
which requires user interaction to trigger
- the click event handler processes the list of selected files by:
* reading the content of each file
* parsing its JSON
* passing the resulting object in a message to the background page
- the click event handler also tracks the count of files pending
* after the processing of all files is complete,
sends a final message to the background page
* background page:
- merges backup data with the tokens already saved in local storage
- updates local storage with this new aggregate value
- closes the tab containing the static html page
comparison between methodologies:
=================================
* previous methodology:
- pros:
* simpler implementation
* more elegant user experience
- cons:
* doesn't work in many browsers
* new methodology:
- pros:
* works in all supported browsers
- cons:
* much more complicated implementation
* less elegant user experience,
which requires interaction with a standalone page in a new tab1 parent 8283f46 commit 0ab56ce
