Development notes

NOT FOR RELEASE VERSION

Feature: Memory

When doing multiple methods or properties, some questions have the same answer between members. Why not use the last-provided answer as the default for the current one, provided there is not a default in the questions file.

Features for later versions

  • Build should process partials and callbacks.
  • Interface should handle callbacks. (Currently a dummy value must be entered for -n because a single un-interfaced function cannot be entered.)
  • Build should validate Kuma macros and API identifiers. For kuma macros that generate cross-references, it should ping the url. If 404 comes back, it should search for the IDL and ask appropriate questions.
  • Build should fill in questions that can be answered from the IDL such as whether there's a constructor or whether something is read-only.
  • Make template processing recursive and based on common sections. For example reference.html > _frag_properties.html > _frag_property.html.
  • Output BCD boilerplate for entry and remaining build commands.
  • The prompt for APIRef() should display possible values from GroupData.json.
  • The prompt for the APIRef() macro should invoke a check that it exists in GroupData.json.
  • The prompt for SpecName() should behave the same as for `APIRef()'
  • The find and build commands should be able to search on interface members.

Misc

Here's an approach to meta-configuration such as logging and test mode. (Approach is about 1/3 down the page.)

To Do

  • Change shared:formalAPIName to shared:apiName throughout. Anywhere that it should be suffixed with 'API' add it to the template. Give this a follow-up task that ensures it's not present twice.

  • Deal more completely with inheritance.
