[css-viewport-1] Add automation support for viewport segments
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This commits define ways to emulate display features of
a device. A display feature is a hardware feature that acts
as a divider and creates logically separate regions of the
viewport.

Using WebDriver developers and user agents will have the
opportunity to test or emulate several types of devices.

<h3 id="display-feature"><dfn>Display feature</dfn> definition</h4>
A display feature is a hardware feature that acts as a divider
and creates logically separate region of the viewport called {{segments}}.
It can be a fold area of a device with a foldable screen or a physical
split occupying a logical space within the viewport for example some dual
screen models.

Below is an illustration describing the concept of display features and how
they divide the viewport in {{segments}}:

Additonal details about the definition of a viewport segment can be found here: [[css-env-1#viewport-segments]].

The {{segments}} attribute must run these steps:
The {{segments}} attribute getter steps are:
1. If the {{Viewport}}'s associated {{Document}} is not <a>fully active</a>, return null.
2. Returns null if there is only a single viewport segment and abort these steps.
3. Otherwise, return the {{Viewport}}'s [[css-env-1#viewport-segments|segments]] array.

3. If |topLevelTraversable|.[=[[DisplayFeaturesOverride]]=] is non-null, return {{Viewport}}'s [[css-env-1#viewport-segments|segments]] array calculated from |topLevelTraversable|.[=[[DisplayFeaturesOverride]]=].
4. Returns null if there is only a single viewport segment and abort these steps.
5. Otherwise, return the {{Viewport}}'s [[css-env-1#viewport-segments|segments]] array calculated from the hardware features.

<h3 id='automation'>Automation</h3>
The {{segments}} property poses a challenge to test authors, as exercising this property
requires access to specific hardware devices. To address this challenge this document defines
[[WEBDRIVER2]] [=extension commands=] that allow users to control how the viewport is split by
one or more [=display feature| display features=] (such as a fold or a hinge between two separate displays).

A <dfn>display feature override</dfn> is a [=struct=] encapsulating the result of a single display feature.
It has a <dfn data-dfn-for="display feature override">orientation</dfn> (a string that is either "vertical" or "horizontal"),
a <dfn data-dfn-for="display feature override">mask length</dfn> (a positive number describing the length of the feature), and
an <dfn data-dfn-for="display feature override">offset</dfn> (which describe the distance from the origin of the viewport).

<h4 id="internal-slots">Internal slots</h4>
To support the [=extension commands=] below and their integration with
the {{segments}} attribute getter steps, [=browsing context/top-level traversables=] must have the following
internal slots:
<table class="def">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>
Internal slot
</th>
<th>
Description
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<dfn data-dfn-for="top-level traversable">\[[DisplayFeaturesOverride]]</dfn>
</td>
<td>
List of [=display feature override=] that overrides those provided by the hardware, or <code>null</code>.
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

</th>
</tr>
<tr>

<td>
/session/{session id}/displayfeatures

</table>

This [=extension command=] creates a setup that emulates a set of [=display feature override=] by taking a list of display features as
parameter.

<div class=non-normative>
<em>This section is not normative.</em>

This section exists because the input format is not trivial. Here is a pseudo IDL example on
how a [=display feature override=] is defined:
<pre class="idl">
enum OrientationType {
"vertical",
"horizontal"
};

interface DisplayFeature {
readonly attribute OrientationType orientation;
readonly attribute double offset;
readonly attribute double maskLength;
};
</pre>

Below is an illustration showing the various properties of a display feature:

<img src="display_features.svg" alt="Two images,
showing the meaning of each display feature attributes. One image is showing an
vertical display feature, the other is showing an horizontal display feature" style="width: 70%;height: auto; margin:auto; display: flex;">
</div>

<div class="example">
To create a [=[[DisplayFeaturesOverride]]=] in the <a spec="WEBDRIVER2">current browsing context</a> of the [=session=] with ID 23,
the [=local end=] would POST to `/session/23/displayfeatures` with the body:
<pre class="lang-json">
{
"features": [
{
"orientation": "horizontal",
"offset": 190,
"maskLength": 20
}
]
}
</pre>
Considering a viewport of 400px by 400px the command will result of a {{segments}} property with the following content:
<code highlight=javascript>[DOMRect(0, 0, 400, 190), DOMRect(0, 210, 400, 190)]</code>
