Bug 97375 – IndexedDB: Remove IDBKey from WebKitIDL

• Component: WebCore Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Joshua Bell]

The WebKit IDB implementation creates a special type, IDBKey, and exposes it in the WebKitIDL files for IDL types, e.g.:

        [CallWith=ScriptExecutionContext] IDBRequest put(in any value, in [Optional] IDBKey key)
            raises (IDBDatabaseException);

This requires logic in the code generator and custom binding code (V8 and JSC) to have special cases for IDBKey.

Alternately, we could match the WebIDL and just have this be an "any", and then expose functions (in the binding layer, I guess) which the implementation of put() (for example) would call to map a DOMObject (usually a ScriptObject) into an IDBKey (or fail).

That would also be a good time to make IDBKey a value type instead of a refcounted class.

[Joshua Bell]

I'm going to do this in two phases:

(1) Drop dependencies on IDBKey in other IDB IDLs - functions will take "any" (i.e. ScriptValue) instead.
(2) Clean up the binding code

Note that #1 will probably look like a bad refactor since it will be inlining a bunch of code that was hidden by the binding layer to do the ScriptValue->IDBKey conversion.

Should I give this a more meaningful name, e.g. idbKeyToJSValue?

Should I give this a more meaningful name, e.g. idbKeyToV8Value?

Sounds nicer. This method is not "toV8()" in our binding terminology (toV8() is a method that wraps a DOM object).

>> Source/WebCore/bindings/v8/IDBBindingUtilities.cpp:42
>> +static v8::Handle<v8::Value> toV8(IDBKey* key, v8::Handle<v8::Object> creationContext, v8::Isolate* isolate)

Ditto. Let's rename.
