1641002 - Implement base class and protocol to abstract apple methods

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect, P1)

Description

[Eitan Isaacson [:eeejay]]

From bug 1637076:

(1) We should write a new protocol that our base class and additional (sub) classes will implement. This protocol should define a set of required methods and properties for each accessible type, and a set of optional methods and properties that accessibles may implement as needed to communicate which selectors/attributes/actions, etc they support. This protocol should be named with the convention mozAccessibleProtocol, assuming our base class is still mozAccessible.

This bug will tackle this first item by implementing a base class and an inner protocol for subclasses to implement as needed.

A followup bug will be for actually refactoring the subclasses and make them use tthe inner protocol.

This sets up the possibility of moving most non-gecko things to a base class, and
start a protocol to add for all the subclasses to implement as needed.

Attachment: Bug 1641002 - Map NSAccessibility API to MOXAccessible protocol. r?morgan

Add most attributes getters, setters and actions to prottocol,
autogenerate objective c dictionaries, and implement forwarding
logic from NSAccessibility methods.

Depends on D76920
