This directory contains the common Web Platform stuff that needs to be shared by renderer-side and browser-side code.
Things that live in third_party/WebKit
can directly depend on this directory, while the code outside the WebKit directory (e.g. //content
and //chrome
) can only depend on the common stuff via the public headers exposed in WebKit/public/common
.
Anything in this directory should NOT depend on the non-common stuff in the WebKit directory. See DEPS
and BUILD.gn
files for more details.
Code in this directory would normally use blink
namespace.
Unlike other directories in WebKit, code in this directory should:
Use Chromium‘s common types (e.g. //base ones) rather than Blink’s ones (e.g. WTF types)
Use underscore_separated_file_names.cc style rather than CamelCase.cpp.
Use full-path from src/ for includes (e.g. third_party/WebKit/common/foo.h
rather than common/foo.h
).
