(Bugzilla 17408) Node creation syntax
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- Web Audio API
- Raised by:
- Marcus Geelnard
- Opened on:
- 2012-05-15
- Description:
- Each node has its own create* method on the AudioContext object.
A common way is to use a single method taking a string argument giving the object name and an optional parameter object for object-specific parameters.
Examples: document.createElement() and canvas.getContext().
While semantically similar, using a single create* method is probably preferable over many different create* methods (e.g less namespace pollution, clearer extensibility mechanism and more consistent with other Web interfaces). - Related Actions Items:

Related notes:
I actually think the current set of methods is better. They're in the AudioContext so namespace pollution isn't a problem. Adding new methods is a perfectly adequate extension point. canvas.getContext() is a mess and being consistent with it is not a virtue.
