Using DOM Future

[Jake Archibald]

Feels like requestAutocomplete should return a Future (http://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#futures) rather than 'autocomplete' & 'autocompleteerror'

Eg, instead of

button.addEventListener('click', function(){

   form.requestAutocomplete();

});

// see details on event handling below

form.addEventListener('autocomplete', function(){

  // successful rAc

  // Call your client-side form validation logic here, if you have any.

  form.submit();  // trigger submit

});

form.addEventListener('autocompleteerror', function(){

  // event.reason is one of "cancel", "invalid" or "disabled".

  // handle error...

});

The equivalent would be:

button.addEventListener('click', function() {

  form.requestAutocomplete().then(function() {

    // successful rAc

    // Call your client-side form validation logic here, if you have any.

    form.submit();  // trigger submit

  }, function(reason) {

    // reason is one of "cancel", "invalid" or "disabled".

    // handle error...

  });

});

All future async succeed/fail methods should be / are heading in this direction.

Cheers,

Jake.

Thanks for bringing that up Jake.

The current design is flexible enough to allow us to move to Futures later if that's the right thing to do.  Right now, it's a bit early to make that call.
