1301544 - Define a schema and storage method for Form Autofill / Web Payment address profiles

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Form Manager, defect, P1)

Description

[Matthew N. [:MattN]]

We need to figure out a schema for storing address profile data locally that is compatible with Form Autofill, the Payment Request API, and Fx sync.

The obvious storage methods are flat JSON files or SQLite. I don't think we will need many-to-many relationships and users will likely have less than 10 profiles so a JSON file should be sufficient. For now we won't worry about storing payment devices.

I made a Google Doc so it's easy to comment on and track issues:

Just to share the first version of the schema here. Note that it's only intended for en-US profiles for now. Additional fields will be added to support other locales.

{
  version: 1,
  profiles: [
    {
      guid,             // 12 character...
  
      // profile
      givenName,
      additionalName,   // Middle Name(s)
      familyName,
      organization,     // Company
      streetAddress,    // (Multiline)
      addressLevel2,    // City/Town
      addressLevel1,    // Province (Standardized code if possible)
      postalCode,
      country,          // ISO 3166
      tel,
      email,
  
      // meta
      timeCreated,      // in ms (Align with nslLoginMetaInfo)
      timeLastUsed,     // in ms
      timeLastModified, // in ms
      timesUsed
    },
    {
      // ...
    },
    // ...
  ],
  payments: [
    // out of scope
  ]
}
