Summary

The MozActivityOptions interface allows apps to declare the activity they want to create and also to access information of activities they want to handle.

When an application creates an activity by creating a MozActivity object, it has to pass a MozActivityOptions object. Then, when the activity is handled by the other application, a similar MozActivityOptions option can be found through MozActivityRequestHandler.source.

Interface overview

interface MozActivityOptions
{
  readonly attribute DOMString name;
  readonly attribute object? data;
};

Properties

MozActivityOptions.name Read only
A string representing the name of the activity request.
MozActivityOptions.data Read only
An arbitrary object representing data that were sent to the activity handler.

Methods

None

Specification

Web Activities is not part of any specification. However, it has some overlap with the proposed Web Intents specification. Mozilla actually proposed Web Activities as a counter proposal to Web Intents. For more information about this, see discussion on the Web Intents Task Force ML.
