The static functions of ``IdentityCredential`` are the spec algorithm logic. Helpers for managing the ``IdentityCredential.webidl`` objects are in the other files in ``dom/credentialmanagement/identity/``. The IPC is defined on the WindowGlobal in ``dom/ipc/PWindowGlobal.ipdl`` and ``dom/ipc/WindowGlobalParent.cpp``, and is a very thin layer. + +The service for managing state associated with IdentityCredentials is ``IdentityCredentialStorageService`` and the service for managing the UI prompts associated with IdentityCredentials is ``IdentityCredentialPromptService``. Both definitions and implementations are in ``toolkit/components/credentialmanagement``. + +The UI panel is spread around a little. The actual DOM elements are in the HTML subtree with root at ``#identity-credential-notification`` in ``browser/base/content/popup-notifications.inc``. But the CSS describing it is spread through ``browser/themes/shared/customizableui/panelUI-shared.css``, ``browser/themes/shared/identity-credential-notification.css``, and ``browser/themes/shared/notification-icons.css``. Generally speaking, search for ``identity-credential`` in those files to find the relevant ids and classes. + +Content strings: ``browser/locales/en-US/browser/identityCredentialNotification.ftl``. + +All of this is entered from the ``navigator.credentials`` object, implemented in ``dom/credentialmanagement/CredentialsContainer.{cpp,h}``. + +Flow of Execution +================= + +This is the general flow through code relevant to the core spec algorithms, which happens to be the complicated parts imo. + +A few notes: + +- All functions without a class specified are in ``IdentityCredential``. +- Functions in ``IdentityCredentialPromptService`` mutate the Chrome DOM +- FetchT functions send network requests via ``mozilla::dom::FetchJSONStructure<T>``. +- A call to ``IdentityCredentialStorageService`` is made in ``PromptUserWithPolicy`` + +.. graphviz:: + + digraph fedcm { + "RP (visited page) calls ``navigator.credentials.get()``" -> "CredentialsContainer::Get" + "CredentialsContainer::Get" -> "DiscoverFromExternalSource" + "DiscoverFromExternalSource" -> "DiscoverFromExternalSourceInMainProcess" [label="IPC via WindowGlobal's DiscoverIdentityCredentialFromExternalSource"] + "DiscoverFromExternalSourceInMainProcess" -> "anonymous timeout callback" -> "CloseUserInterface" -> "IdentityCredentialPromptService::Close" + "DiscoverFromExternalSourceInMainProcess" -> "CheckRootManifest A" + "CheckRootManifest A" -> "FetchInternalManifest A" [label="via promise chain in DiscoverFromExternalSourceInMainProcess"] + "FetchInternalManifest A" -> "DiscoverFromExternalSourceInMainProcess inline anonymous callback (Promise::All)" + "DiscoverFromExternalSourceInMainProcess" -> "CheckRootManifest N" + "CheckRootManifest N" -> "FetchInternalManifest N" [label="via promise chain in DiscoverFromExternalSourceInMainProcess"] + "FetchInternalManifest N" -> "DiscoverFromExternalSourceInMainProcess inline anonymous callback (Promise::All)" + "DiscoverFromExternalSourceInMainProcess inline anonymous callback (Promise::All)" -> "PromptUserToSelectProvider" + "PromptUserToSelectProvider" -> "IdentityCredentialPromptService::ShowProviderPrompt" + "IdentityCredentialPromptService::ShowProviderPrompt" -> "CreateCredential" [label="via promise chain in DiscoverFromExternalSourceInMainProcess"] + "CreateCredential" -> "FetchAccountList" [label="via promise chain in CreateCredential"] + "FetchAccountList" -> "PromptUserToSelectAccount" [label="via promise chain in CreateCredential"] + "PromptUserToSelectAccount" -> "IdentityCredentialPromptService::ShowAccountListPrompt" + "IdentityCredentialPromptService::ShowAccountListPrompt" -> "PromptUserWithPolicy" [label="via promise chain in CreateCredential"] + "PromptUserWithPolicy" -> "FetchMetadata" + "FetchMetadata" -> "IdentityCredentialPromptService::ShowPolicyPrompt" [label="via promise chain in PromptUserWithPolicy"] + "IdentityCredentialPromptService::ShowPolicyPrompt" -> "FetchToken" [label="via promise chain in CreateCredential"] + "FetchToken" -> "cancel anonymous timeout callback" + "FetchToken" -> "CreateCredential inline anonymous callback" + "CreateCredential inline anonymous callback" -> "DiscoverFromExternalSourceInMainProcess inline anonymous callback" + "DiscoverFromExternalSourceInMainProcess inline anonymous callback" -> "DiscoverFromExternalSource inline anonymous callback" [label="Resolving IPC via WindowGlobal's DiscoverIdentityCredentialFromExternalSource"] + "DiscoverFromExternalSource inline anonymous callback" -> "CredentialsContainer::Get inline anonymous callback" + "CredentialsContainer::Get inline anonymous callback" -> "RP (visited page) gets the credential" + } |
