Why do we need this? Doesn't it break the pref-tracker?

[Oren Blasberg, 2015/06/04 16:10:04]

Oddly, without the initial value, I get an error in checkedChanged_ that
'this.pref' is undefined. I'm not sure I understand why; maybe we can look at it
tomorrow.

Having this initial value doesn't seem to break the pref tracker; could you
touch upon why you think it would?

[Jeremy Klein, 2015/06/04 17:20:16]

Sorry, by "breaking" I mean preventing real errors from being found. If you set
a default here to {}, this line will always be false:

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/codesearch#chromium/src/chrome/browser/res...

and so the errors won't get picked up. What's the benefit of the default value?

[Oren Blasberg, 2015/06/04 18:26:11]

Oh, I see. Yes, the validation would always succeed.

There isn't a 'benefit' to having {} here, except that it prevents the error I
mentioned in the previous comment, in checkedChanged_. But I still don't get why
that error happens in the first place, since checkedChanged_ should only be
getting called if the 'checked' actually changes (which I don't think happens on
initialization?)... 

Let's look at this in person later.

This and the other 2 new functions can be private.

Done.

For some reason the name computeValue confuses me because it's used for both
checked and pref.value. Maybe "invertIfNeeded_"?

[Oren Blasberg, 2015/06/04 16:10:04]

Ah ok. It's not actually inverting though; it's just returning a value, so how
about "getPrefValue_" or "getValueToPersist_"?

[Jeremy Klein, 2015/06/04 17:20:16]

The this is that it doesn't only get the prefValue or the value to persist
because you're using it to go both directions:

pref -> this.checked
and this.checked -> pref

[Oren Blasberg, 2015/06/04 18:26:11]

Ok, how about "getUpdatedValue_"?   "getValueBasedOnInversion_"? ...
Because this doesn't actually do inversion, it just returns a bool I am hesitant
to call it "invertIfNeeded_". As you pointed out, the field that gets inverted
(if needed) depends on who called the method.
