Bug 223892 – Omit default position/angle when serializing radial & conic gradients

• Component: CSS
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Tim Nguyen (:ntim)]

Seems like positions aren't omitted when they are at their default value (50% 50%/center center).

Being "center position", or at least this definition of it, seems specific to gradient values, no?  Would it make sense to add a static bool method to CSSGradientValue.cpp instead?

static bool isCenterPosition(const CSSPrimitiveValue& primitiveValue)
{

}

Also, I don't think you need to switch on unit type.  If the primitive value is not a value ID and not a percent, it will return CSSValueInvalid and 0 respectively, meaning neither bool (== CSSValueCenter, == 50) would evaluate to true.  I think this method could become:

return primitiveValue.valueID() == CSSValueCenter || primitiveValue.doubleValue(CSSUnitType::CSS_PERCENTAGE) == 50;

Can you explain why this is added?

I don't mind either way. center also makes sense for `background-position` or `object-position`, or anything using the `<position>` CSS type. Ideally, we'd have a `Position` type reflected in the style code as well, with a `isCenter` checking for both coordinates being center, rather than doing each one individually outside.

I'll add a comment, but this is needed, since this patch strips the default center position when serializing the gradient, so it reflects this in the test as well.
