Bug 267813 – Explore to remove WheelEvent.initWebKitWheelEvent()

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: UI Events

[Ahmad Saleem]

Hi Team,

It was removed from Blink in 2014.

Prefixed API - https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/PrefixedAPIs <- We should replicate this on docs.webkit.org as well. Good page and would be good to add relevant bug links as well to make it easier for future tracking.

Blink Intent To Remove: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/h_GoezQ4MQ4/m/Q5abFkhA76sJ

Blink Commit: https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/blink?view=revision&revision=179230

WebKit Source: https://searchfox.org/wubkat/rev/90f2bafbe99f4ab1ec05cd05d975c0bbd9aa3ad4/Source/WebCore/dom/WheelEvent.cpp#89 ,

etc.

Just wanted to raise, I think it would be good clean-up. Appreciate if someone can share input from 'Apple' perspective whether it is OK to remove or their are still internal usage etc.

Thanks!

We pass this WPT: https://wpt.fyi/results/uievents/historical.html?label=master&label=experimental&aligned=&q=uievents

I am reading the code etc. wrong or this is just clean-up or used for other purposes but not exposed?

The WPT is only testing initWheelEvent(), not initWebKitWheelEvent().

Updated it in above JSFiddle and we fail 'prefixed' one. :-)
