https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=26181 --- Comment #29 from Ted Mielczarek [:ted] <ted@mielczarek.org> --- AFAICT we have two plausible paths forward: 1) Change the spec to match Firefox's implementation: sequence<Gamepad?> getGamepads() This has the benefit of being incredibly easy to spec since the concept is easily expressible in WebIDL. Still need some spec language to indicate that implementations should return null for controllers that have been removed, but I need to write that either way. 2) Spec a GamepadList object with an indexed property getter, and additionally an iterator that returns only entries that are present (the default behavior of ES6 iterators on objects with indexed property getters/length properties is to iterate over 0..length-1). This could capture the existing intended semantics, but it's awfully complicated, doesn't seem to provide a whole lot of benefit, and feels like swimming against the tide of the web platform, since ES6 is trying to deprecate sparse Arrays. I'm leaning towards #1 (and the Blink folks have said they're amenable). Does anyone have a compelling reason to argue for #2? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
