RE: Faking host objects

I should play with it in a real browser to be sure, but I think you transform some things that were supposed to be objects into functions.

 

I’ll play with it a bit more, and I’ll give you more informed comments after that.

Hi,  
Sorry I've been a bit off the grid. I've been working on implementing some more of the Web IDL spec while working through the Web MIDI API.  

Anyway, I think I finally figured out the code that replicates host objects in the browser:
https://gist.github.com/4402084


This means that it's not trivial to take some WebIDL and get it exposed in the browser. As in:

interface FooBar(){
readonly attribute DOMString foo;

}  

It would be great if you guys can take a look.  

The code does not yet support constructors, e.g.:  

var x = window.FooBar("foo");  

I'll work on adding that soon.  

With regards to WebIDL, the Web MIDI API gave me an opportunity to implement "toOctet()", which converts an input into an number between 0-255. Not super useful, but…  

Kind regards,
Marcos
