ENUMS

AllowedOffers strict

Type: uint32

Defined in fuchsia.component.decl/collection.fidl

The kinds of offers that can target the children in a collection.

NameValueDescription
1

Only static offers may target components in the collection. "Static offers" are the offers in the ComponentDecl that target the collection itself.

This is the default behavior.

2

Both static offers and dynamic offers may target components in the collection. "Static offers" are the offers in the ComponentDecl that target the collection itself. "Dynamic offers" are additional offers that are passed to CreateChild at runtime.

Availability strict

Type: uint32

Defined in fuchsia.component.decl/offer.fidl

Describes the expected availability of the capability.

Some capabilities may not be present on all system configurations. In those cases, the availability will be declared as OPTIONAL along the chains of exposes/offers/uses, and the capability would be routed from void on system configurations where it does not make sense to route or provide a particular capability (e.g. graphical capabilities on a headless system).

NameValueDescription
1

The capability must be available. Failure to route the capability is an error.

2

Inside a use declaration: the component can function if it fails to obtain the capability.

Inside an offer/expose declaration: the capability may not be available in some system configurations. As a corollary, the target component must not have a required dependency on the capability.

3

If the target of the corresponding offer or expose declaration requires the capability, then the behavior is equivalent to required. If the target has an optional dependency on the capability, then the behavior is equivalent to optional. This is useful for container components that would like to change their routing availability based on ones inside.

This value is not allowed inside a use declaration.

4

The source may omit the route completely without even having to route from void.

TRANSITIONAL is used for soft transitions that introduce new capabilities.

DeliveryType flexible

Type: uint32

Defined in fuchsia.component.decl/types.fidl

DeliveryType may be used when declaring a capability, and specifies under what conditions the framework will open the capability from the provider component's outgoing directory when there is a request for this capability.

Added: HEAD

NameValueDescription
0

The framework will open the capability as soon as some consumer component requests it.

1

The framework will monitor the ZX_CHANNEL_READABLE signal on the server endpoint of connection requests made by the consumer component, and only open the capability from the provider component's outgoing directory when the server endpoint becomes readable.

DependencyType strict

Type: uint32

Defined in fuchsia.component.decl/offer.fidl

Describes the type of dependency implied by the capability.

NameValueDescription
1

A strong dependency which may be required by components that use it.

2

A weak dependency which is allowed to form a cycle. Components that use a weak dependency must support the dependency being unavailable at arbitrary times.

Durability strict

Type: uint32

Defined in fuchsia.component.decl/collection.fidl

The durability of component instances created in a collection.

NameValueDescription
2

An instance exists until either its parent instance is stopped or it is explicitly destroyed.

3

An instance is started upon creation and is immediately destroyed when it stops.

EnvironmentExtends strict

Type: uint32

Defined in fuchsia.component.decl/environment.fidl

Specifies how a declared environment's initial set of properties are assigned.

NameValueDescription
0

The environment has no initial set of properties.

1

The environment's initial set of properties are inherited from its realm. Inherited properties include any fields defined in EnvironmentDecl.

OnTerminate strict

Type: uint32

Defined in fuchsia.component.decl/child.fidl

Describes the action to take if this component instance terminates unexpectedly.

NameValueDescription
0

No action, the default

1

Trigger a graceful system reboot if the component terminates for any reason. This is a specialized feature gated by Component Framework security policy.

StartupMode strict

Type: uint32

Defined in fuchsia.component.decl/child.fidl

Describes under what conditions the component may be started.

NameValueDescription
0

Start component instance only when it receives an incoming capability request or it's started directly with fuchsia.component.Controller/Start.

1

Start component instance automatically when the parent starts or (for dynamic components) when the component is created.

StorageId strict

Type: uint32

Defined in fuchsia.component.decl/capability.fidl

Declares which identifier to use to key a component's isolated storage directory.

NameValueDescription
1

Isolated storage directories are keyed using a component's instance ID specified in the component ID index. Components which are not listed in the index cannot use or open this storage capability.

2

Isolated storage directories are keyed using a component's instance ID if one is specified in the component ID index. Otherwise, a component's moniker from the storage capability is used to key its isolated storage directory.
