Prior to this patch, CSSAnimation defined a method for converting an
nsCSSPseudoElements::Type to a nsString (but only for the set of
pseudo-elements that can have animations). We would like to re-use this
when setting up transition events so this patch moves it to
AnimationCollection. Re-using this method more widely means we can make
a few further simplifications to the code.
This patch extracts a utility class for queueing up a series of EventInfo
objects (of templated type) and then dispatching them. This covers the event
queuing behavior in nsAnimationManager so that we can reuse it in
nsTransitionManager.
The long-term plan is to drop the mozilla::css namespace altogether. Before we
go to much further with refactoring code in AnimationCommon, we should drop
usage of the mozilla::css namespace. Specifically, this patch moves the
CommonAnimationManager and AnimValuesStyleRule classes to the mozilla namespace.
This patch prepares the way for script-generated events by making
event dispatch a separate process that happens after sampling animations.
This will allow us to sample animations from their associated timeline
(removing the need for a further manager to tracker script-generated
animations).
Furthermore, once we sample animations from timelines the order in which they
are sampled is likely to be more or less random so by making event dispatch at
separate step, we have an opportunity to sort the events and dispatch in
a consistent and sensible order. It also ensures that event callbacks will
not be run until all animations (including transitions) have been updated
ensuring they see a consistent view of timing properties.
This patch only affects event handling for CSS animations. Transitions will
be dealt with in a subsequent patch.

The connection between an Animation and an AnimationTimeline is optional. That
is, it is possible to have an Animation without an AnimationTimeline. Until now
we have often just assumed the timeline will be set but eventually we need to
support the possibility of the timeline being null. Indeed, later in this patch
series we will set the timeline out-of-band (i.e. not in the constructor) using
SetTimeline which opens up the possibility that timeline will be null for
a period of time.
This patch paves the way for having an optional timeline by storing the global
used for, e.g. creating promises, on the Animation object itself.
This patch also extends the tests for Element.getAnimations(). It doesn't
actually exercise the code added (it's not actually called yet since it doesn't
need to be for Element.getAnimations) but simply provides a useful regression
and interop test.
This patch re-uses Animation::mSequenceNum to store the index of CSS animations
within their corresponding animation-name property. When the animation is
removed from an animation-name property it reverts to using the default
animation composite order.
This patch also updates Animation::DoCancel to call UpdateTiming instead of
UpdateEffect. This is because UpdateTiming is responsible for updating the
sequence number (when custom composite order is not in effect). When we remove
an animation from animation-name it will be cancelled and at that point we
expect its sequence number to be cleared which will only happen if
UpdateTiming gets called.
In order to sort CSS animation objects correctly, we need to know which
element's animation-name property they appear in, if any. Normally that's
simply the target element of the animation's keyframe effect but it can differ
in the following cases:
1) When script modifies a CSSAnimation's effect to target a different element
(or simply removes the effect altogether). In this case we use the
*owning* element to determine the priority of the animation, not the target
element.
This scenario does not yet occur (bug 1049975).
2) When script creates a CSSAnimation object using the CSSAnimation constructor.
In this case, the owning element should be empty (null) and we should
determine the priority of the animation in the same way as any other
Animation object.
Again, this is not yet supported (or even specced) but will be eventually.
3) When script holds a reference to a CSSAnimation object but then updates the
animation-name property such that the animation object is cancelled. In this
case the owning element should be cleared (null) so we know to not to try and
sort this with regard to any animation-name property.
This is possible using code such as the following:
elem.style.animation = 'a 5s';
var a = elem.getAnimations()[0];
elem.style.animation = 'b 5s';
a.play(); // Bring a back to life
document.timeline.getAnimations();
// ^ At this point we need to know how to sort 'a' and 'b' which depends
// on recognizing that a is no longer part of an animation-name list.
Until we implement bug 1049975, we could support sorting animations without
adding the reference to the owning element by setting a flag on the CSSAnimation
object but (having tried this) it turns out to be cleaner to just introduce this
reference now, particularly since we know we will need it later.
Note that we will also need this information in future to dispatch events to the
correct element in circumstances such as (1) once we separate updating timing
information (including events) from applying animation values.
This patch is a fairly minimal rename of the AnimationPlayer interface. It
leaves a bunch of local variables and helper classes still using the word
"player". These will be addressed in subsequent patches that don't require DOM
peer review.
This patch adds an options flag to GetAnimationsForCompositor for two reasons.
a) We want to reuse this functionality in nsLayoutUtils.cpp rather than
duplicating the same logic. To do that and maintain the existing behavior,
however, we need to *not* update the active layer tracker when calling this
from nsLayoutUtils.cpp.
b) It's surprising that GetAnimationsForCompositor also has this side effect of
updating the active layer tracker. Adding this as an option makes it clear at
the call site that this is what will happen.
This is the main patch for the bug; it makes us use the mechanism added
in bug 1125455 to avoid sending animations that aren't currently
applying to the compositor.
Patch 7 is needed to make this code rerun in all the cases where we need
to rerun it, though.
