Export the definition of "module record" #2157
Conversation
This allows other specs to reference the definition through a bikeshed autolink. Service Workers spec is one such case.

Can you say why service worker needs to get access to this? It should be somewhat of an internal implementation detail. |
|
Service worker checks a new service worker version by comparing the existing service worker's script and the newly fetched script. I found we haven't considered module script case for that and changed related text: w3c/ServiceWorker#1020 (diff). In that change, I tried to access the module record's [[ECMAScriptCode]] for the equality check. Would that be a right way to compare two module scripts btw? |

That's pretty convincing to me! In most cases the script should be treated as an opaque thing that you use in algorithms like fetch and run, but this is a solid use case for inspecting its source text directly. (And I think it's better to simply let you reach inside than it is to protect the abstraction boundary by having HTML define something like "get the source text of a script".) |

Great. Thanks for the confirmation. I think I need your help with w3c/ServiceWorker#1013 too. Please take a look when you have time. |
