interface nsIArrayExtensions : nsIArray

/**
 * Helper interface for allowing scripts to treat nsIArray instances as if
 * they were nsISupportsArray instances while iterating.
 *
 * nsISupportsArray is convenient to iterate over in JavaScript:
 *
 * for (let i = 0; i < array.Count(); ++i) {
 *   let elem = array.GetElementAt(i);
 *   ...
 * }
 *
 * but doing the same with nsIArray is somewhat less convenient, since
 * queryElementAt is not nearly so nice to use from JavaScript.  So we provide
 * this extension interface so interfaces that currently return
 * nsISupportsArray can start returning nsIArrayExtensions and all JavaScript
 * should Just Work. Eventually we'll roll this interface into nsIArray
 * itself, possibly getting rid of the Count() method, as it duplicates
 * nsIArray functionality.

Methods

impl nsIArrayExtensions
[src]

[src]

Cast this nsIArrayExtensions to one of its base interfaces.

impl nsIArrayExtensions
[src]

[src]

/**
   * Count()
   *
   * Retrieves the length of the array. This is an alias for the
   * |nsIArray.length| attribute.
   */

[src]

/**
   * GetElementAt()
   *
   * Retrieve a specific element of the array. null is a valid result for
   * this method.
   *
   * Note: If the index is out of bounds null will be returned.
   *       This differs from the behavior of nsIArray.queryElementAt() which
   *       will throw if an invalid index is specified.

impl XpCom for nsIArrayExtensions
[src]

IID: nsIID = nsID(639452206, 1292, 17725, [138, 170, 179, 242, 59, 204, 82, 139])

[src]

Perform a QueryInterface call on this object, attempting to dynamically cast it to the requested interface type. Returns Some(RefPtr) if the cast succeeded, and None otherwise. Read more

impl RefCounted for nsIArrayExtensions
[src]

[src]

Increment the reference count.

[src]

Decrement the reference count, potentially freeing backing memory.

impl Deref for nsIArrayExtensions
[src]

The resulting type after dereferencing.

[src]
