We're thinking of tackling this with a combination of two new entry points:

IDBObjectStore/IDBIndex#getAll(keys [, count]) - implemented in FF, WIP in
Chrome

IDBKeySet - a set (*gasp*!) of keys.

getAll() and existing methods that take a key-or-range would be extended to
take key-or-range-or-set.

Re: [clipboard] Dilemma: getData('text/html') and useful CF_HTML quirks

2015-04-23 Thread Daniel Cheng
On Thu, Apr 23, 2015 at 1:16 AM Hallvord Reiar Michaelsen Steen 
hst...@mozilla.com wrote:

 We're exploring text/html paste behaviours in Mozilla bug 586587 [1] and
 running into some tricky questions I'd like to discuss here.

 Basically, on Windows IE and other apps that write HTML to the clipboard
 use the CF_HTML format. This format is simply described as

  headers (name:value meta data)
 
  htmlhead/head
  body
  !--StartFragment--HTML!--EndFragment--
  /body
  /html

 where the StartFragment / EndFragment comment tags are inserted by
 implementations writing HTML to the clipboard to show where the actually
 selected content starts and ends. Several very common implementations
 (including I believe Microsoft Word's) will add tags like STYLE outside of
 the StartFragment/EndFragment tags and add rules that may be significant
 for rendering the content of the fragment correctly. Also noteworthy is
 that the meta data may include a SourceURL property showing the URL of the
 page you copied from.

 So, because of the significance of the STYLE information and other stuff
 outside Start/EndFragment, certain browsers return the full document
 including the Start/EndFragment comment tags when a script does
 getData('text/html'). This is obviously very useful when there's important
 stuff outside these tags. It still means scripts have to do extra work to
 find those comments and extract the content inside them to know what data a
 user actually intended to paste. This also adds a risk that scripts will be
 tested only on Windows and authored to require those comments and fail if
 they aren't there on other platforms.


Chrome's behavior is to return the literal HTML data, but without the
metadata header when a page calls getData('text/html'). However, if Chrome
is executing the default action of paste, we attempt to parse out the
fragment and only paste the fragment (however, we incorrectly don't include
styles).


 Should we, then, standardise returning the full document including
 Start/EndFragment comments (basically requiring or encouraging other
 platform implementations to start using those comments when serializing
 HTML for the OS clipboard) - or should getData() return only what's inside
 the Start/EndFragment tags? Are any other important platforms already using
 CF_HTML conventions, or would their developers balk at being encouraged to
 do so?


CF_HTML is not a format that any other app on any other platform would be
expecting, so you wouldn't be able to just start writing it to the
clipboard on Mac/Linux in place of the original HTML. So there's a bit of a
chicken and egg problem here.

I also can't say I love the CF_HTML format: the markup is a lot easier to
work with when the styles are inlined, etc. Plus pasting style blocks
means there might be collisions in style rules, etc.



 On a related topic, I see SourceURL as useful (could be used to properly
 attribute citations automatically and such) - it would be nice to
 standardise DataTransfer.sourceURL or something like that, to be set when
 available.

 (editor of https://w3c.github.io/clipboard-apis/ )
 [1] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=586587


You'd have to get all UAs to agree on a data property to use to transfer
this since I don't think using CF_HTML on other platforms is currently
workable.


Directory Upload Proposal

2015-04-23 Thread Ali Alabbas
Hello WebApps Group,

For the past few years sites have been enabling directory uploads by using the 
old FileSystem API [1] in Chrome and Opera. In the April 2014 face to face 
WebApps group meeting [2], there was a CfC to move the old specs into a WG Note 
and to continue working on the new FileSystem API [3] instead, effectively 
discontinuing work on the old FileSystem API.

The new FileSystem API tries to satisfy a large number of use cases with an 
approach that is better than the old API. However, its broad scope and its 
dependencies on future capabilities (e.g. Observables) has slowed down the pace 
at which it is moving forward. Due to this, there is currently no interoperable 
way to enable directory uploads on the web. We have received lots of feedback 
from developers - including some working on Microsoft services such as OneDrive 
- that supporting directory upload is a high priority for them. 

To enable developers to build future interoperable solutions, we've drafted a 
proposal [4], with the helpful feedback of Mozilla and Google, that focuses 
strictly on providing the mechanisms necessary to enable directory uploads. The 
proposal uses a subset of the new FileSystem API so that it can be expanded in 
the future to enable more scenarios when the new FileSystem API is further 
along. To help understand the proposal (especially the APIs involved) I have 
written a polyfill [5] and demo page [6] that is built on top of Chrome's old 
FileSystem API.

If there is sufficient interest, I would like to work on this within the scope 
of the WebApps working group.

Thank you,
Ali

Code nitpick: it probably should remove the event listener from within the 
handler, or calling this function repeatedly will leak memory. Also it will get 
slower every time.

Actually, now that I think about it, this isn’t usable at all if you are using 
postMessage for anything else, since you could accidentally capture 
non-cloning-related messages.

I guess these are potentially arguments to expose cloning directly.

Maciej

Exposing structured clone as an API?

2015-04-23 Thread Ted Mielczarek
Has anyone ever proposed exposing the structured clone algorithm directly
as an API? Katelyn Gadd was musing about fast deep copy in JS on Twitter,
and I proposed a hack to use postMessage to do so[1], which works but it's
a little roundabout. Since structured clone is a primitive that the web
platform is built on it seems like a primitive that ought to be exposed. I
know this exists in other languages (Python has copy.deepcopy[2]) and
there's an npm deepcopy module[3] with lots of downloads so this is
clearly something people use.

Not really the point of my mail.  Of course you would be better
writing a real clone.

It could probably even be synchronous, though it removes this (or a
less bad version, see Maceij's comments) as a polyfill option.

The way many browsers implement this isn't going to be particularly fast.
It serializes the objects to a byte sequence so it can be transferred to
another thread or process and then inflates the objects on the other side.

[components] Isolated Imports and Foreign Custom Elements

2015-04-23 Thread Maciej Stachowiak

Hi everyone,

I wrote up a proposal (with input and advice from Ryosuke Niwa) on a possible 
way to extend Web Components to support fully isolated components:

https://github.com/w3c/webcomponents/wiki/Isolated-Imports-Proposal 
https://github.com/w3c/webcomponents/wiki/Isolated-Imports-Proposal

I welcome comments on whether this approach makes sense.


I’d also like to discuss this during the proposals section of tomorrow’s F2F. I 
know it’s supposed to be focused on Shadow DOM, but I think this proposal is 
relevant context.

I think this proposal, even if it is itself a post-v1 project, helps explain 
why closed mode is important and relevant. While closed mode doesn’t provide 
strong security isolation by default, its a building block that can be used to 
build full isolation, whereas open mode can’t be used that way.

If we agree to have a closed mode eventually, then it’s probably sensible to 
add it for v1. We’d also want to decide sooner rather than later whether closed 
or open is the default (or whether there is no default and we require authors 
to choose one explicitly).

Regards,
Maciej

It seems somewhat better to just file a bug against the HTML Standard
since this also affects the processing model of e.g. input.files.
Which I think was the original proposal for how to address this...
Just expose all the files in input.files and expose the relative
paths, but I guess that might be a bit too synchronous...

[components] Apple's consolidated feedback on Web Components

2015-04-23 Thread Maciej Stachowiak

Hi everyone,

In preparation for Fridays’ face-to-face, a number of us at Apple (including 
me, Ryosuke Niwa, Sam Weinig, and Ted O’Connor) got together to collect our 
thoughts and feedback about the current state of Web Components.

Before going into the changes we propose, we want to reiterate that we think 
the concept of Web Components is great, and we even like many of the specifics. 
We’re considering significant implementation effort, but we have some concerns. 
We think there is a set of targeted changes that would help web developers, and 
allow us to address a broader set of use cases.

With that in mind, here are our key points of feedback, by spec.

I.  Shadow DOM 

A. Closed vs. Open.
1. Add a closed/open flag to createShadowRoot(). The Shadow DOM 
spec now has the notion of an encapsulation flag for closed mode. Yay! 
Unfortunately, there’s no way yet for a Web developer to pass this flag in. 
Open vs. closed has been much discussed, and while the default is contentious, 
we felt there was a rough consensus to at least expose both modes. We think 
this is critical for v1. https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=20144 
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=20144
2. The behavior of closed mode should be actually defined. We 
hope this does not need much justification. We think this is critical for v1. 
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=20144 
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=20144
3. We think closed mode should be the default. Alternately, we 
would be ok with a mandatory argument so developers must always explicitly 
choose open or closed. This has been much discussed, so we won’t give further 
rationale here, and can wait for the meeting Friday to debate.

B. Multiple Generations of Shadow DOM
1. We think this should be removed. Discussion can wait for 
debate of contentious bits, https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi? 
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28446
2. We think that the Apple / Component Kitchen named slot 
proposal does a better job of addressing the main use cases for this. We think 
it is a superior replacement.

C. Imperative Distribution API
1. We think the imperative distribution API is still worth 
doing. There has been positive feedback from web developers on the concept and 
there isn’t an obvious reason against it.

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18429

D. Event Retargeting
1. We agree with making it optional (opt-in or opt-out). We 
don’t feel that strongly, but many web developers have asked for this. The 
default should likely match the default for open vs. closed (no retargeting by 
default if open by default).

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28444

E. Renaming
1. If any strongly incompatible changes are made, we suggest 
renaming createShadowRoot. This is to avoid compat problems with content 
written for Chrome’s shipping implementation.


II.  Custom Elements 

A. Insertion/Removal Callbacks
1. We think the current attached/detached callbacks should be 
removed. They don’t match core DOM concepts and insert/remove is a more natural 
bracket. https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24314 
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24314
2. We think inserted/removed callbacks should be added, for 
alignment with DOM. https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24866 
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24866 

B. ES6 classes
1. Custom elements should support ES6 classes in a natural way 
- allowing use of the ES6 class constructor instead of a separate callback. We 
believe there is rough consensus on this point. 
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28541 
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28541

C. Upgrade
1. We don’t think upgrading should be supported. The tradeoffs 
of different options have been much-discussed. 
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28544 
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28544
2. We support synchronous constructors, or

[clipboard] Dilemma: getData('text/html') and useful CF_HTML quirks

2015-04-23 Thread Hallvord Reiar Michaelsen Steen
We're exploring text/html paste behaviours in Mozilla bug 586587 [1] and
running into some tricky questions I'd like to discuss here.

Basically, on Windows IE and other apps that write HTML to the clipboard
use the CF_HTML format. This format is simply described as

 headers (name:value meta data)

 htmlhead/head
 body
 !--StartFragment--HTML!--EndFragment--
 /body
 /html

where the StartFragment / EndFragment comment tags are inserted by
implementations writing HTML to the clipboard to show where the actually
selected content starts and ends. Several very common implementations
(including I believe Microsoft Word's) will add tags like STYLE outside of
the StartFragment/EndFragment tags and add rules that may be significant
for rendering the content of the fragment correctly. Also noteworthy is
that the meta data may include a SourceURL property showing the URL of the
page you copied from.

So, because of the significance of the STYLE information and other stuff
outside Start/EndFragment, certain browsers return the full document
including the Start/EndFragment comment tags when a script does
getData('text/html'). This is obviously very useful when there's important
stuff outside these tags. It still means scripts have to do extra work to
find those comments and extract the content inside them to know what data a
user actually intended to paste. This also adds a risk that scripts will be
tested only on Windows and authored to require those comments and fail if
they aren't there on other platforms.

Should we, then, standardise returning the full document including
Start/EndFragment comments (basically requiring or encouraging other
platform implementations to start using those comments when serializing
HTML for the OS clipboard) - or should getData() return only what's inside
the Start/EndFragment tags? Are any other important platforms already using
CF_HTML conventions, or would their developers balk at being encouraged to
do so?

On a related topic, I see SourceURL as useful (could be used to properly
attribute citations automatically and such) - it would be nice to
standardise DataTransfer.sourceURL or something like that, to be set when
available.

Re: Exposing structured clone as an API?

There has been some talk about moving structured cloning into
ECMAScript proper and exposing the primitives. But TC39 does not seem
particularly receptive unless it comes with a way for someone to
participate in the structured cloning algorithm with custom objects.

But yeah, I think this should definitely be an API of sorts eventually.
