We previously had PropertyOwningCSSStyleDeclaration and
ResolvedCSSStyleDeclaration, representing the current style properties
and resolved style respectively. Both of these were the
CSSStyleDeclaration type in the CSSOM. (We also had
ElementInlineCSSStyleDeclaration but I removed that in a previous
commit.)
In the meantime, the spec has changed so that these should now be a new
CSSStyleProperties type in the CSSOM. Also, we need to subclass
CSSStyleDeclaration for things like CSSFontFaceRule's list of
descriptors, which means it wouldn't hold style properties.
So, this commit does the fairly messy work of combining these two types
into a new CSSStyleProperties class. A lot of what previously was done
as separate methods in the two classes, now follows the spec steps of
"if the readonly flag is set, do X" instead, which is hopefully easier
to follow too.
There is still some functionality in CSSStyleDeclaration that belongs in
CSSStyleProperties, but I'll do that next. To avoid a huge diff for
"CSSStyleDeclaration-all-supported-properties-and-default-values.txt"
both here and in the following commit, we don't apply the (currently
empty) CSSStyleProperties prototype yet.
Before this change, StyleComputer would essentially take a DOM element,
find all the CSS rules that apply to it, and resolve the computed value
for each CSS property for that element.
This worked great, but it meant we had to do all the work of selector
matching and cascading every time.
To enable new optimizations, this change introduces a break in the
middle of this process where we've produced a "CascadedProperties".
This object contains the result of the cascade, before we've begun
turning cascaded values into computed values.
The cascaded properties are now stored with each element, which will
later allow us to do partial updates without re-running the full
StyleComputer machine. This will be particularly valuable for
re-implementing CSS inheritance, which is extremely heavy today.
Note that CSS animations and CSS transitions operate entirely on the
computed values, even though the cascade order would have you believe
they happen earlier. I'm not confident we have the right architecture
for this, but that's a separate issue.
This patch removes a bunch of the less generally useful information
from layout tree dumps and puts it behind some optional bool params.
We also show layout units as integers instead of floats for now,
since fractional layout almost never happen anyway (yet) and this makes
it much easier to read.
Bring the names of various boxes closer to spec language. This should
hopefully make things easier to understand and hack on. :^)
Some notable changes:
- LayoutNode -> Layout::Node
- LayoutBox -> Layout::Box
- LayoutBlock -> Layout::BlockBox
- LayoutReplaced -> Layout::ReplacedBox
- LayoutDocument -> Layout::InitialContainingBlockBox
- LayoutText -> Layout::TextNode
- LayoutInline -> Layout::InlineNode
Note that this is not strictly a "box tree" as we also hang inline/text
nodes in the same tree, and they don't generate boxes. (Instead, they
contribute line box fragments to their containing block!)
LibWeb keeps growing and the Web namespace is filling up fast.
Let's put DOM stuff into Web::DOM, just like we already started doing
with SVG stuff in Web::SVG.
This currently returns a JS::Array of elements matching a selector.
The more correct behavior would be to return a static NodeList, but as
we don't have NodeLists right now, that'll be a task for the future.
