B2G repo setup and build quickstart

B2G Quickstart for Payments and Identity

Before you begin: You want to do this on a Mac. I have been using Linux for months, and unresolved redraw issues (white screen of death) are killing me. Mac works great. Use OSX.

This sets you up to make two separate targets:

  • One for a desktop [simulator] [1]
  • One for the Unagi [device] [2]

These are the moving parts:

  • [mozilla-inbound repo] [3] clone (hg)

Shell script to set up a GitHub Project's Issues' Labels as described in <http://rentzsch.tumblr.com/post/252878320/my-lighthouse-ticket-settings-with-colors>. WARNING: script assumes a newish project that hasn't really used labels yet. It deletes all default labels, which means DATA LOSS if you've used them for anything.

navigator.id.experimental.login()
/*global setTimeout:true, navigator:true*/
/*
* navigator.id.experimental.login(options)
* - takes same options as navigator.id.request()
* - returns a Promise

*
* navigator.id.experimental.automatic([function])

class Box<T> { constructor(public value: T) {} }
class A {}
class B { foo() {} }
var bb : Box<B> = new Box<B>(null);
// This typechecks (it shouldn't; T is used both in a co- and contra-variant position, so it's invariant)...
var ba : Box<A> = xb;
ba.value = new A();

Virtual DOM and diffing algorithm

There was a [great article][1] about how react implements it's virtual DOM. There are some really interesting ideas in there but they are deeply buried in the implementation of the React framework.

However, it's possible to implement just the virtual DOM and diff algorithm on it's own as a set of independent modules.

1. put <file> on sdcard
2. put sdcard in device
3. reboot and hold down up arrow and power for 10s.
4. "apply update from external storage" - select <file>
5. "wipe data/factory reset"
6. reboot
Now you've got an unrooted phone. Let's install a su binary that gives us root.
