1608546 - [meta] Expand event handler mapping to more libraries/frameworks

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(DevTools :: Inspector, task, P3)

Description

[:Harald Kirschner :digitarald]

So far https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/devtools/server/actors/inspector/event-collector.js#25,27 only supports React and jQuery (bug 1042564).

We often see devs being delighted when they find this easy-to-discover feature.

This bug tracks extending the mapping to more frameworks.

There could also be new WebExtension API allowing delivering new library support through an extension.

This would be simple to add but in the past library creators have been unwilling to spend time adding their library to Firefox because they don't see the benefit.

Of course, Firefox would benefit so I am more than happy to add more libraries where it is possible.

I tried with Angular and AngularJS and it couldn't be done because the final event is wrapped and there is no internal method to unwrap the event.

Maybe we should work with library creators and see if we can agree on some kind of API?

The meta keyword is there, the bug doesn't depend on other bugs and there is no activity for 12 months.
:jdescottes, maybe it's time to close this bug?
