Bug 1150810 provides a means for getting (more-or-less) all the animations in a document including animations that target pseudo-elements.

For those animations that target pseudo-elements we need something to return as the animation's target.

e.g. If we have:

  div::before {
    content: "Note ";
    animation: anim 10s;
  }
  @keyframes anim {
    to { margin-left: 20px; }
  }

And we do:

  var anim = document.timeline.getAnimations()[0];
  console.log(anim.effect.target);

What should we return?

The spec says we should return a PseudoElement object but there are two competing definitions of that interface.

A) http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-pseudo/#CSSPseudoElement-interface:

    interface CSSPseudoElement
    {
      readonly attribute DOMString type;
      readonly attribute CSSStyleDeclaration style;
    };

    CSSPseudoElement implements EventTarget;
    
    interface CSSPseudoElementList
    {
      readonly attribute unsigned long length;
      CSSPseudoElement item(unsigned long index);
      CSSPseudoElement getByType(DOMString type);
                       // replies null if no pseudo-element exists for
                       //     the requested type
    };
    
    partial interface Window {
      CSSPseudoElementList getPseudoElements(Element elt, DOMString type);
    };
    
B) http://dev.w3.org/csswg/cssom/#the-pseudoelement-interface:
    
    interface PseudoElement
    {
    };

    PseudoElement implements GetStyleUtils;
    
    partial interface Element {
      PseudoElement? pseudo(DOMString pseudoElt);
    };

Of the two, B is more recently updated.

I asked which one to implement and was told "neither".[1]

I suggest we could do a minimum implementation based on the following:
    
    interface CSSPseudoElement
    {
      readonly attribute DOMString type;
    };
    
That should be enough to test with. If neither A nor B progresses by the time we come to ship we could push for a resolution on at least the interface name and just ship empty objects (i.e. hide the type attribute) for the time being.

The alternative is to change Web Animations to have both 'target' and 'targetPseudo' attributes but that seems really backwards and we'd have to change a lot of the rest of the API (e.g. all methods that take a target parameter would need to be adjusted).

I think we probably want to have the parent element too, e.g.

    interface CSSPseudoElement
    {
      readonly attribute DOMString type;
      readonly attribute Element parentElement;
    };

Where 'type' is either '::before' or '::after'.

In terms of implementation, I was thinking we could store a weak reference as a property on the element. The reason is that once all references from script are dropped, we don't need to keep the object alive.

I suppose the CSSPseudoElement needs to keep an owning reference back to the parent element and needs to interface with the cycle collector.

Hi Brian,

The things I want to do in this bug:
1. Define and implement (CSS)PseduoElement interface
  * Maybe we can use the definition from Comment 2.
  * For example: If we define a CSS pseudo element, 'p::after {...}', the parentElement is 'p' and the type is '::after'.
2. Replace Element with Animatable in KeyframeEffectReadOnly
  * Now, only KeyframeEffectReadOnly uses this new interface. (i.e. (CSS)PseudoElement)
  * Store Animatable, instead of Element, in KeyframeEffectReadOnly. ex. nsCOMPtr<Animatable> mTarget;

PS. We have a follow-up bug to support pseudo elements for document.getAnimations() already. (Bug 1234403)

However, I have some questions about Animatable.

The spec says:
1. Element implements Animatable [1]
2. (CSS)PseudoElement implements Animatable [2]
(Assuming that we use the definition of (CSS)PseudoElement in Comment 2.)
We use "implements", instead of inheritance, to define the relationships of them.

The first argument of the KeyframeEffectReadOnly constuctor is "Animatable" which is [NoInterfaceObject] [3], and I think Animatable, Element, (CSS)PseudoElement are definitely different interface/classes, right? It looks like Animatable object is neither a real DOM element nor a PseudoElement in accordance with the spec. Therefore, I wonder how does KeyframeEffectReadOnly constructor know whether this Animatable object is an Element or a PseudoEmenent? Or do I have to implement a special base class for both Element and PseudoElement for this case?
Thanks.

Animatable is not a class at all, and there are no Animatable objects.  It's an interface in IDL, but that's basically an IDL bug; it's really a mixin not an interface.  There are objects that _are_ Animatable, but they're all either Element or CSSPseudoElement.

Anyway, your real question is about what the bindings generator will do with this setup.  What it will do is first complain that you need a descriptor for Animatable, and then when you add one it will basically take the nativeType you define in that descriptor (defaulting to mozilla::dom::Animatable) and try to use QueryInterface on the thing stored in the JS object to get that type out.  Which means you would have to have Element and CSSPseudoElement both QI to this new thing.

So in practice you would need a special base class for both Element and PseudoElement, which is a huge pain, actually, especially if you want to not add a word of vtable pointer to Element.

And then your constructor would have to use QI or some other means of interrogating an Animatable* to tell which one it is.

So what I propose instead is that you make the KeyframeEffectReadOnly constructor take "(Element or CSSPseudoElement)" and avoid all those complications.  And file a followup bug (cc me) on making the binding generator automatically convert this sort of IDL, where a mixin is being used as an arg type, into a union type.

I'm not sure if that works--or at least it's not enough. You need to be able to be able to ensure that when we have two animations on the same pseudo-element, that they end up returning the same CSSPseudoElement object. Basically, we need a way of going from an Element & pseudo-type pair, to a single CSSPseudoElement object.

What I had in mind is to use a property on the parent element to store this. You can look at, for example, EffectSet, to see how to store properties on elements.

Internally, I don't know if we need to use CSSPseudoElement. We might want to do that in the future, but it's a big job and I think it might be simpler to just continue storing an Element:PseudoType pair initially. We might want to a wrapper to represent this pair at some point, however. So I was thinking CSSPseudoElement would be purely for external use.

Suppose we define CSSPseudoElement as something like:

  // namespace mozilla::dom
  class CSSPseudoElement : public nsWrapperCache {
    RefPtr<Element> mParentElement;
    nsCSSPseudoElements::Type mPseudoType
  };

mParentElement needs to be an owning reference since it script is holding on to the pseudo-element, it needs to continue to be able to refer to the parent element.

Going the other direction, from element to pseudo-element, I think we want a weak reference. If this is a purely external interface created on-demand, then when all references from script to the pseudo are dropped, we can drop the CSSPseudoElement object.

You'll probably want a DOM peer to advise on this but I imagine you could add a helper function (perhaps as a static method on CSSPseudoElement) to get the CSSPseudoElement object given an Element:PseudoType pair. It would call GetProperty, do the necessary casting, and return an already_AddRefed<> pointer. If the property doesn't exist, it would create it at the same time.

In terms of clearing up the property, I guess we could make the dtor for CSSPseudoElement call DeleteProperty on its mParentElement.

Thanks for explaining my question, bz. I believe this idea is much easier to implement.
I'd like to make this argument as (Element or CSSPseudoElement) in this bug
and then file a followup bug to automatically convert this sort of IDL.

OK. I agree. Keep using Element & pseudo-type pair in KeyframeEffecrReadOnly and
CSSPseudoElement for external usage is a good idea to simplify this bug.

For example:
According to your idea, this graph comes into my mind:

 (Pseudo)            (parent)          (pseudo)
|---------|  strong  |-----|  strong  |--------|
|p::before| -------> |  p  | <------- |p::after|
|         | <------- |     | -------> |        |
|---------|   weak   |-----|   weak   |--------|

When we create a new pseudo element (p::before/p::after), we could set a property
whose value is a weak pointer to p::before/p::after in the parent element, p.
I should write a version for this and then ask a DOM peer for some advice.

Thanks for your advice. :)

Part 3: Implement KeyframeEffectReadOnly::GetTarget() (v3)

Review of attachment 8711596 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Olli,

I think you might want to check the implementation of CSSPseudoElement.
In Part 1, I define the interface of CSSPseudoElement (which is a purely external interface now), and according to Brian's suggestion in comment #5, I use a strong reference from a CSSPseudoElement to an Element because the script is holding on to the pseudo-element and it needs to continue to be able to refer to its parent element. In the other direction, I use a raw pointer from an Element to a CSSPseudoElement because when all references from script to the pseudo are dropped, we can drop the CSSPseudoElement object. I'd like to know is there any problem I didn't think of if using SetProperty()/GetProperty().

Script --(strong)--> CSSPseudoElement  --(strong)--> Element
                                       <--(weak)----

I use a static function in CSSPseudoElement to get from Element:PseudoType pair or to create a CSSPseuedoElement object on-demand. Do you have any concern or advice for this?

BTW, we don't have an official spec for CSSPseudoElement know, as Brian mentioned in Description, so could we push this equivalent definition to our code base?
Thank you.

So unlink may have run before this and then mParentElement points to null.
You need to remove the property _also_ during unlink before mParentElement.
And before accessing mParentElement in dtor, you need to null check it.

I think with that, this should be ok.

Thanks, Olli. I should also delete this property in UnbindFromTree and add a null check here.
That I don't know. Depends on whether PseudoElement should "work" even after the relevant element has been unbound. It probably should, in which case doing anything in UnbindFromTree isn't needed.
Also, from performance point of view would be nice if nothing was added to UnbindFromTree.

Got it. Looks like only need to remove the property also during unlink before mParentElement (i.e. in NS_IMPL_CYCLE_COLLECTION_UNLINK_BEGIN(FragmentOrElement) block), as you mentioned.
Thank you for explanation.
Or could we rely on nsNodeUtils::LastRelease removing whatever properties there still are?
The property here is after all something which doesn't affect to cycle collection.

Looks like that nsNodeUtils::LastRelease checks if there is any property and then deletes them [1], and we use nsNodeUtils::LastRelease(this) while releasing FragmentOrElement object [2]. Therefore, I think you are right. We could rely on it to remove all the properties and I don't have to do anything for this. ONLY need to add a null check in part 3. Thank you!

Hi, Brian,

I think these patches are ready to review, but I'd like to move the test cases into bug 1234403 (Implement getAnimations for pseudo) because I have not idea to get an effect that targets a pseudo element before finishing doucument.getAnimations() for pseudo elements.

BTW, is it possible to push the equivalent interface of CSSPseudoElement into the web-animation spec because there is no reference to this interface for developers right now?

Thank you.

Yeah, good point. I think you're right. Let's leave the tests until then.

I don't think we should put that interface in web animations. It's already defined in two specs so we shouldn't add a third. Since we're not planning on shipping this interface to regular Web content yet (the urgent need here is DevTools) I think it's ok if the specs are still in flux. If we get to the point where we're ready to ship, we can push the CSSWG to agree on a minimal interface for this. For now we should just point to the two different specs with a comment explaining the situation.
Hi David,

Do you have any concern if we change the type of "enum nsCSSPseudoElement::Type"[1] to "scoped enum"? Many functions use this type as an argument and we can forward declaration it easily if we use scoped enum. I can file a bug to handle this. Thanks.

No concerns.  That sounds great.  Please remove "ePseudo_" from all the names since they'll now be qualified with the enum name (which might need to be renamed and/or moved out of the nsCSSPseudoElements class to make things make sense.

Do you mean the nsIGlobalObject from mParentElement?

Thanks for your reference. 
Eventually, the GetParentObject chain will get us to a Window and I think CSSPseudoElement and its parent Element should go to the same Window. I'd like to return the value of mParentElement->GetParentObject() in a later patch and add a comment here.

Nit: We don't need the last line of this comment. (When you say we 'define' a union type it sounds like we're adding a typedef, but we're not, so we shouldn't say that.)

The spec uses 'Animatable' here. We should either use Animatable here or add a comment saying why we don't (like above).

There's a mismatch between the pseudo types allowed here and and the types allowed by nsCSSPseudoElements::GetPseudoAtom, as used by GetType. For example, aType could be ePseudo_NotPseudoElement here, but GetPseudoAtom doesn't allow that.

We should probably add a MOZ_ASSERT that aType < nsCSSPseudoElements::ePseudo_PseudoElementCount and document that restriction in the header file. We should *also* add an assertion in GetType that the return type of GetPseudoAtom is non-null.

If we're only supporting ::before or ::after, we should probably assert that in the constructor.

Also, note that the canonical notation of pseudo-elements has TWO colons, e.g. "::before". The single-colon syntax is just a backwards compatibility requirement.

'ret' is a bit weird. I think we normally use 'retval' (or sometimes retVal--just use whichever is more common). I'm pretty sure 'rv' is normally only used when the type is nsresult.

It's not clear *why* passing the parent content element of a pseudo-element to BuildAnimationPropertyList is ok here. We need to go through how target is used and document at each point that for pseudo-elements we use the parent element.

Yes. It should be NonNull<>, so we could avoid redundant MOZ_ASSERTs.

I'm thinking the unlink of Element may have run before the destructor of CSSPseudoElement. If we use OwningNonNull<Element> and we want to call mParentElement->DeleteProperty() in the destructor, mParentElement might be set to null already, so OwningNonNull will be asserted[1]. If we just use Refptr<Element>, we can skip this case to avoid MOZ_ASSERT in [1].

Yes. aTarget couldn't be in the uninitialized state if we call it from JS side, but if someone call this internally (C++ side), we have to make sure it return nullptr.

In that case just assert that Value() is initialized after the early return.

Perhaps instead of "raw pointer", a "non-owning reference" would be more clear (since you can still use a raw pointer as an owning reference).

Does this work if mTarget is nullptr? I think currently mTarget is never nullptr, but eventually it will be able to be null (probably in bug 1067769). If this *doesn't* work when mTarget is null we should add a comment saying that (or simply test for !mTarget here).

So we probably should put this interface behind some other pref, since we may want to enable other animation stuff sooner, and
this not so often needed pseudoelement handling later once the spec situation isn't totally messy.

I think this works, but may confuse people. If we have a null mTarget, I think we should call aRv.SetNull() directly. The constructor, KeyframeEffectReadOnly::KeyframeEffectReadOnly [1], has an assertion to check aTarget, and there is no assignment to mTarget in the current implementation, so it is never nullptr, as you mentioned. However, adding an assertion here is OK and we shouldn't return a null Element object here now.

Sorry. I'd like to revise here. Add this in the beginning of GetTarget():

if (!mTarget) {
  aRv.SetNull();
  return;
}

It's a known problem that I've mailed www-style about before. I've told the editors of the relevant specs too and dbaron added issues to the corresponding specs last December so I think this is sufficiently reported.

Part 4: Support CSSPseudoElement for TimingParams

This is really odd that we need a target element in order to parse a timing function. Can you file a bug to fix that (blocking web-animations) and add a comment/warning here?

This looks like a memory leak. Calling take() on an already_AddRefed is going to return the already add-refed pointer. If we assign that to a raw pointer (targetElement) we'll never release it.

We should just make targetElement a RefPtr, I think.

Spelling: 'The pseudo type'

This sentence seems incomplete. Perhaps just "The type of pseudo-element to which the computed value is applicable."

We should also update the description of 'aTargetElement' to say 'The content node to which our computed value is applicable. For pseudo-elements, this is the parent element to which the pseudo is attached, not the generated content node.'

Use (Element or CSSPseudoElement)? as the first arguement of constructor and
the type of target.
