<agi> Hi Everyone! I have a question about Actors, hopefully this is the right place.
12:26:36 
<agi> Background: I'm on the GeckoView team and I'm looking into moving our modules to Actors.
12:26:36 
<agi> Question: In some of our modules we need to do some initialization work, in particular we need to set some properties on docShell at startup, e.g. webBrowserChrome here: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/38c88cbf4be87dfa0636d15a5d3599a8ea0d1a72/mobile/android/chrome/geckoview/GeckoViewNavigationChild.js#33-36 . Where would initialization code that
12:26:36 
<agi> uses docShell go in an Actor? From what I can see on Desktop this property is set on a script that's loaded using loadFrameScript, but my understanding is that loadFrameScript is going away, correct?
12:26:48 
<•neha> awesome, you did that already! \o/
12:26:51 
<agi> :)
12:27:37 
<agi> I was just thinking that maybe the |constructor| of the module might just work?
12:28:49 
<•John-Galt> agi: In the constructor, yes. But modules are initialized lazily, so it really depends on how early that needs to be set, and how the actor's initialization is triggered
12:29:18 
<•John-Galt> It might make more sense to have the docshell just get the actor by name when it needs that property instead

<•John-Galt> (And, yes, loadFrameScript is going away)
12:30:05 
<agi> John-Galt: I see. Yeah we need it as soon as possible, because we need to intercept any load request and send it to the GeckoView embedder (and other similar stuff)
