Firefox/Projects/JS Satchel

Port the current form history (Satchel) implementation to JavaScript. This will just be a straight C++-to-JS port, no changes to functionality or internal design.

Status

Reviewed and landed.

Goals

• Increase maintainability by moving from C++ to JS
• Increase code similarity to the related parts in password manager
• Pave way for changes related to Weave and Contacts projects from Labs

Non Goals

Not porting nsFormFillController.cpp, since it's doing some things that are hard to port to JS, and doesn't have a lot of direct test coverage.

Timeline / Milestones

Only expected to take a day or two of work between dolske and zpao.

These are the bugs of interest:

Requirements

None.

Dependencies

All in-flight patches (in Toolkit::Form Manager) should be landed to avoid making people rewrite them in JS.

Testing

No QA resources required. No changes to functionality, very good automated test coverage.

Related Projects

None.
