The ConstrainULong type is used to specify a constraint for a property whose value is an integral number. It extends the ULongRange dictionary (which provides the ability to specify a permitted range of property values) to also support an exact value and/or an ideal value the property should take on. In addition, you can specify the value as a simple long integer value, in which case the user agent does its best to match the value once all other more stringent constraints are met.
Properties
If the value of a ConstrainULong is an object rather than a number, it may have the properties below in addition to the properties it inherits from ULongRange.
exact- An integer specifying precise, required, value the property must have to be considered acceptable.
ideal- An integer specifying a value the property would ideally have, but which can be considered optional if necessary to find a match.

Candidate Recommendation | Initial definition |
Technically, ConstrainULong is actually based on an intermediary dictionary named ConstrainULongRange, which adds exact and ideal to ULongRange, with ConstrainULong being a type that can be either a long integer or a ULongRange. However, for the sake of documentation clarity, the intermediate type (present only because of quirks in WebIDL syntax) is ignored here.
