This code generator no longer creates JS wrappers for platform objects
in the old sense, instead they're JS objects internally themselves.
Most of what we generate now are prototypes - which can be seen as
bindings for the internal C++ methods implementing getters, setters, and
methods - as well as object constructors, i.e. bindings for the internal
create_with_global_object() method.
Also tweak the naming of various CMake glue code existing around this.
This is a monster patch that turns all EventTargets into GC-allocated
PlatformObjects. Their C++ wrapper classes are removed, and the LibJS
garbage collector is now responsible for their lifetimes.
There's a fair amount of hacks and band-aids in this patch, and we'll
have a lot of cleanup to do after this.
- Delete the part about removing `[Exposed=Window]` since that's not
necessary and we may want that information there to generate the
Window object.
- Mention adding `#import`s.
- Outline the requirements for the implementation class.
- Mention the non-Event wrapper factories that need to know about
certain types.
I tend to refer to this document every time I add an IDL type so it's
helpful if it's comprehensive.
This document is meant to cover every significant step in the journey
from giving a page URL to LibWeb, and pixels showing up on screen.
It's by no means complete, but I wrote a fair chunk already, so I'll
commit at this stage and we can expand on it in-tree.
The current ProtocolServer was really only used for requests, and with
the recent introduction of the WebSocket service, long-lasting
connections with another server are not part of it. To better reflect
this, this commit renames it to RequestServer.
This commit also changes the existing 'protocol' portal to 'request',
the existing 'protocol' user and group to 'request', and most mentions
of the 'download' aspect of the request to 'request' when relevant, to
make everything consistent across the system.
Note that LibProtocol still exists as-is, but the more generic Client
class and the more specific Download class have both been renamed to a
more accurate RequestClient and Request to match the new names.
This commit only change names, not behaviors.
