RE: [ResourceTiming] onresourcetimingbufferfull attribute type

I've updated Performance to inherit EventTarget, so you can listen for the resourcetimingbufferfull event. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi,

Thank you for making the update.
Is there any plan to have Performance inherit EventTarget so that people can listen for the resourcetimingbufferfull event using addEventListener()?

I don't know of any other interface having an EventHandler attribute without inheriting EventTarget.

I have updated the onresourcebufferfull attribute to be an EventHandler in the Resource Timing spec: https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webperf/raw-file/tip/specs/ResourceTiming/Overview.html#dom-performance-onresourcetimingbufferfull.

I have also updated step 20 of the processing model.

Thanks,
Jatinder

It doesn't seem like there is a clear reason why we chose to use Function, and EventListener seems like the recommended way to define this behavior. I can take an action item to update the spec.

Thanks,

Hi,

Sorry, I meant EventHandler [1], I was confused by the naming in WebKit.

Here are a few example of interfaces using EventTarget / EventHandler:
- http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/webappapis.html#globaleventhandlers
- https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/IndexedDB/raw-file/default/Overview.html#idl-def-IDBRequest
- http://dev.w3.org/html5/workers/#workerglobalscope
- https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/dap/raw-file/tip/battery/Overview.html#idl-def-BatteryManager
- https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/audio/raw-file/tip/webaudio/specification.html#ScriptProcessorNode-section

Kr,
Christophe DUMEZ.

I don't recall any reason for why we chose Function and not EventListener. Christophe, could you point me to a spec that uses EventListener?

I was hoping someone else would chime in with a reason. If there isn't one, we should just use EventListener like everywhere else.

Hi,

According to the latest editor draft [1] of the Resource Timing API, the Performance.onresourcetimingbufferfull attribute should be of type 'Function'. Other DOM objects seem to use the 'EventListener' type (and inherit EventTarget) for similar purposes.

Is there any reason why onresourcetimingbufferfull is not an EventListener and why the Performance does not inherit EventTarget?
