Mapping from section number to API prefix #72

Closed dgirardi closed 1 year ago

dgirardi commented 1 year ago

I can't find a way to go from section ID to section prefix (or vice-versa) using the CMP API; yet the CMP must have that information. For example, I can't say "getSection for each applicableSections ", unless I separately keep a map such as {"usnat": 7, ...} to tell which prefix to use.

Is that correct, or did I miss it?

If it is, could/should getSection be updated to also accept a section ID as an alternative to the prefix? Or PingReturn to include the section ID as part of its supportedAPIs?

maybe we could listen for sectionChange and never call getSection? image

That still doesn't provide the association; if I get a sectionChange for usnat I can't ask "is usnat applicable?" (unless, again, I separately maintain the same mapping that the CMP has).

I don't think you need to, the event has all the paresed data attached assuming comments on #70 get included
