Hi,
The Permission API spec[1] is defining PermissionName enum[2] which acts
as a registry of Permission names.
I've recently started working on the Generic Sensor API[3] which aims to
provide a blueprint and abstract classes for concrete sensor specs (e.g.
proximity sensors, geolocation, etc.) to build on. It would be great if
such specs could directly add their names to the PermissionName registry
instead of having to modify another spec for this (I'm tracking this
here [4]).
Adding support for partial enums in WebIDL would do the trick. For
example, it would allow the proximity sensor spec to specify
registration like so:
partial enum PermissionName {
"proximity"
};
Is that doable? Else what other option would allow for this use case?
Thanks for your time,
--tobie
