Previously, the Object class had many different types of functions for
each action. For example: get_by_index, get(PropertyName),
get(FlyString). This is a bit verbose, so these methods have been
shortened to simply use the PropertyName structure. The methods then
internally call _by_index if necessary. Note that the _by_index
have been made private to enforce this change.
Secondly, a clear distinction has been made between "putting" and
"defining" an object property. "Putting" should mean modifying a
(potentially) already existing property. This is akin to doing "a.b =
'foo'".
This implies two things about put operations:
- They will search the prototype chain for setters and call them, if
necessary.
- If no property exists with a particular key, the put operation
should create a new property with the default attributes
(configurable, writable, and enumerable).
In contrast, "defining" a property should completely overwrite any
existing value without calling setters (if that property is
configurable, of course).
Thus, all of the many JS objects have had any "put" calls changed to
"define_property" calls. Additionally, "put_native_function" and
"put_native_property" have had their "put" replaced with "define".
Finally, "put_own_property" has been made private, as all necessary
functionality should be exposed with the put and define_property
methods.
Instead of creating extremely common FlyStrings like "id" and "class"
on demand every time they are needed, we now have AttributeNames.h,
which provides Web::HTML::AttributeNames::{id,class_}
This avoids a bunch of string allocations during selector matching.
Passing a Heap& to it only to then call interpreter() on that is weird.
Let's just give it the Interpreter& directly, like some of the other
to_something() functions.
There are now two API's on Value:
- Value::to_string(Interpreter&) -- may throw.
- Value::to_string_without_side_effects() -- will never throw.
These are some pretty big sweeping changes, so it's possible that I did
some part the wrong way. We'll work it out as we go. :^)
Fixes#2123.
Getting the innerHTML property will recurse through the subtree inside
the element and serialize it into a string as it goes.
Setting it will parse the set value as an HTML fragment. It will then
remove all current children of the element and replace them with all
the children inside the parsed fragment.
Setting element.innerHTML will currently force a complete rebuild of
the document's layout tree.
This is pretty neat! :^)
