Description As noted on the Madrid F2F, the Messaging API could be simplified by using messaging service objects. A WebIDL fragment illustrating the idea:
Current way:
interface SmsManager : EventTarget {
readonly attribute MessageType type ;
readonly attribute DOMString [ ] serviceIDs ;
SmsSegmentInfo segmentInfo ( DOMString text , optional DOMString serviceID ) ;
Promise send ( DOMString to , DOMString text , optional DOMString serviceID ) ;
Promise clear ( DOMString serviceID ) ;
attribute EventHandler onreceived ;
attribute EventHandler onsent ;
attribute EventHandler ondeliverysuccess ;
attribute EventHandler ondeliveryfailure ;
attribute EventHandler onserviceadded ;
attribute EventHandler onserviceremoved ;
} ;
A possible alternative:
interface SmsManager : EventTarget {
readonly attribute SmsService [ ] services ;
SmsSegmentInfo segmentInfo ( DOMString text ) ;
attribute EventHandler onreceived ;
attribute EventHandler onsent ;
attribute EventHandler ondeliverysuccess ;
attribute EventHandler ondeliveryfailure ;
attribute EventHandler onserviceadded ;
attribute EventHandler onserviceremoved ;
} ;
interface SmsService {
readonly attribute DOMString serviceId ;
readonly attribute MessageType type ;
Promise send ( DOMString to , DOMString text ) ;
Promise clear ( ) ;
} ;
Similarly, the same could be done for MMS.
