WebIDL thing is not defined

Defining WebIDL things

You probably landed here because you got a warning like:

• attribute thing not defined in SomeInterface.

This is trying to tell you that you forgot to define this part of the interface. Or that you forgot to explicitly define the interface itself!

What you need to do

Given:

<section>
<pre class="idl">
interface SomeInterface {
  readonly attribute DOMString thing;
}
</pre>
</section>

You want to add the following [data-dfn-for] and [data-link-for] attributes:

<section data-dfn-for="SomeInterface" data-dfn-for="SomeInterface">
<!-- explicitly define the interface -->
<h2><dfn>SomeInterface</dfn> interface</h2>
<pre class="idl">
interface SomeInterface {
  readonly attribute DOMString thing;
}
</pre>
<p>The <a>SomeInterface</a> let's you do really neat things!</p>
<!-- define the thing attribute -->
  <section>
    <h3><dnf>thing</dfn> attribute</h3>
    <p>The <a>thing</a> attribute, when getting, gives you the thing.</p> 
  </section>
</section>
