777315 - xpcom documentation is out of date

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 759868

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: Documentation, defect)

Description

[Alexandre Poirot [:ochameau]]

The documentation is still using "Base" pattern, where all classes like Factory, Services, SleepObserver have a `new` method.
But xpcom is now using `heritage` which doesn't have this pattern anymore. So that these classes are direct contructors.

  Factory.new({ Component: Request });
is now:
  Factory({ Component: Request });

At least for 1.7, it was (note lowercase c)..

Factory.new({ component: Request });

To get my code working with 1.8.2, I needed to s/.new// and s/component/Component/

The code comment here still refers to lowercase c:
https://github.com/mozilla/addon-sdk/blob/master/packages/api-utils/lib/xpcom.js#L97
 Options is expected to have `component`
