I’m doing some FF add-on development and I’m seeing syntax like this:
var {Cc, Ci} = require('chrome');
Just curious what that syntax is and if it’s special to FF development or something else.
See Domenic’s answer as to what the syntax is which is called a destructuring assignment. The answer that follows is why this is needed for FF add-on development.
There’s a discussion on what this is and why it is needed at http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla-labs-jetpack/browse_thread/thread/d288b79903b5b434.
Short answer is yes, it’s specific for Firefox add-on development. The relevant documentation can be found at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/sdk/1.3/dev-guide/module-development/chrome.html.
