750528 - [AccessFu] Add preference for enabling/disabling AccessFu

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[Eitan Isaacson [:eeejay]]

I am thinking accessibility.accessfu (int)
0: Disabled
1: Enabled
2: Auto

Auto is the default and it will sniff platform a11y and enabled or disable AccessFu.

On platforms that either don't have platform sniffing enabled in AccessFu (Mac, Windows, Linux), or platforms that don't have "platform a11y" outside of Firefox (B2G), auto is synonymous with disabled.

This was a bit too easy. But it seems to work.

Please consider my thoughts below:

BTW Do you run "gjslint --nojsdoc my_file.js" ? (Just curious)

Note, to keep my brain happier I'd consider these prefs rather than modes throughout (as in ACCESSFU_DISABLE, ACCESSFU_ENABLE, ACCESSFU_AUTO throughout).

let accessPref = ACCESSFU_DISABLE; ?

Optional: since it returns a boolean I'd prefer an "is" name like "isWanted" or "amINeeded" (note: in 3 places).

thanks! I changed it to isEnabled. All the rest of the names are adjusted too.

I run:
gjslint --additional_extensions=jsm --nojsdoc *.jsm

at some point David should try to write lyrics instead code ;) alternatively named functions aren't always great for code reading.

I'd keep enable a part of amINeeded since it seems nobody need to turn it on/off explicitly.

Eitan if you happen to follow Alexander and move the enable call inside the boolean function that checks preferences please rename it so that the side effect (yuck) is obvious.
