After consolidating WebIDL from the working draft, I processed it with the
W3 WebIDL checker. The checker had errors regarding the
ConstrainablePattern interface for undefined Capabilities and Settings
types.
Current:
[NoInterfaceObject]
interface ConstrainablePattern {
*Capabilities* getCapabilities ();
Constraints getConstraints ();
*Settings* getSettings ();
Promise<void> applyConstraints (Constraints constraints);
attribute EventHandler onoverconstrained;
};
Recommended:
[NoInterfaceObject]
interface ConstrainablePattern {
*object* getCapabilities ();
Constraints getConstraints ();
*object* getSettings ();
Promise<void> applyConstraints (Constraints constraints);
attribute EventHandler onoverconstrained;
};
The above changes will pass with the WebIDL Checker. Note, changing *object
*to *any *will work also (as well as other defined types).
----------------
I was confused after reading *11.1 Interface Definition *in regards to
"*limitations
of the interface definition language* used in this specification".
WebIDL states that the *[NoInterfaceObject]* extended attribute should be
solely used on *supplemental *interfaces. IMO, I recommend rephrasing the *11.1
Interface Definition *description. Consider rewording *limitations of the
interface definition language*, and consider adding *supplemental
interface* somewhere
in the description.
