This is a basic attempt at trying to handle parent container case
justify-content: flex-end.
Test-scenario:
Head to https://ryanwatkins.me and note that now the header nav is on
the right as opposed to the left in-line with how Chrome/Firefox would
respectively handle it also, i.e. 'flex-end'
Implementation:
Move cursor to the end and render in reverse backwards shifting the
cursor leftwards.
Percentage sizes of flex items are relative to the flex container, but
even when the flex container is automatically sized, we still have to
support them.
To make this work, we first do a pass where percentage sizes are ignored
(treated as "auto", basically) in order to get a "reference" value.
Then we do a second pass where percentages can be resolved against this
reference value.
We were neglecting to clamp flex items when calculating the intrinsic
main size of the flex container. This was covered by a FIXME, which we
can now remove. :^)
We had an older incomplete implementation of flex container max-content
sizing that we used for unconstrained main size determination.
This patch replaces the old implementation with a call to the new
max-content sizing code.
Note that this isn't a complete implementation of flex container sizing
still, but at least we've deduplicated some code.
The CSS-FLEXBOX-1 spec gives us two situations in which flex item cross
sizes should be considered definite. Both of them happen *during* flex
layout, which is super finicky but it is what it is.
Previously, we considered all LengthPercentage values for used flex
basis to be definite. This is not accurate, as percentages should only
be considered definite if the reference value they resolve against is
a definite size.
Fix this by checking the flex container's main definite size flag.
There's no need to override the sizes before calculating the cross size.
Besides, by the time we're calculating the hypothetical cross size of
flex items, we may already have established a definite main size anyway,
so overriding it would be wrong.
This state is less static than we originally assumed, and there are
special formatting context-specific rules that say certain sizes are
definite in special circumstances.
To be able to support this, we move the has-definite-size flags from
the layout node to the UsedValues struct instead.
If we wait until after the parent context has laid out the flex
container, abspos children are able to use the final results of the
parent sizing the flex container.
This makes `height:auto` work on abspos children of a flex container.
`min-width: auto` and `min-height: auto` have special behavior on flex
items. We already handled it in many cases but there were two places
where it was incorrectly treated as 0. This fixes that.
This was a leftover from when ComputedValues stored sizes in Optionals.
Now that we've gotten rid of the "undefined" state, there's no need for
this helper, we can just access the size values directly.
Before this patch, we were justifying based on the content box only,
which led to misalignments along the main axis when items had non-zero
padding, borders or margins.
I'm not 100% sure this is on-spec, but it seems to me that flex items
that have a specified non-auto cross size should honor that value in
its min-content and max-contribution.
When sizing the flex container under a min-content or a max-content
constraint, flex items with a used flex basis of "content" should be
sized under the same constraint.
Previously, we had three layout modes:
- Normal:
- Everything uses the computed values from CSS.
- MinContent:
- Containing blocks act as if they have 0 width.
- All line breaking opportunities are taken.
- MaxContent:
- Containing blocks act as if they have infinite width.
- Only forced line breaks are accepted.
The above was based on a set of misunderstandings of CSS sizing.
A major problem with the above was that *all* containing blocks
behaved differently during intrinsic size layout, not just the
relevant one.
With this patch there are only two layout modes:
- Normal:
- Everything uses the computed values from CSS.
- IntrinsicSizeDetermination:
- One or more boxes have size constraints applied.
There are two size constraints per layout box, set here:
- FormattingState::NodeState::width_constraint
- FormattingState::NodeState::height_constraint
They are of type SizeConstraint and can be one of None, MinContent,
or MaxContent. The default is None.
When performing an IntrinsicSizeDetermination layout, we now assign
a size constraint to the box we're trying to determine the intrinsic
size of, which is then honored by using two new helpers to query
the dimensions of containing blocks:
- FormattingContext::containing_block_width_for(Box)
- FormattingContext::containing_block_height_for(Box)
If there's a relevant constraint in effect on the Box, the size of
its containing block is adjusted accordingly.
This is essentially an implementation of the "available space"
constraints from CSS-SIZING-3. I'm sure some things will break from
this, and we'll have to deal with that separately.
Spec: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-sizing-3/#available
Before, querying any of the four intrinsic sizes would cause us to
calculate all of them (the four being min-content width/height, and
max-content width/height).
Now, the helper functions only calculate the specific intrinsic size
requested. It's then cached at the root formatting context level,
so that it's never calculated twice within the same layout pass.
