The dynamic container interface provides a base class for services that want to provide containers for temporary contents. The service can fill result nodes directly into the container when it is being opened. It can use the property bag on every result node to store data associated with each item, such as full path on disk. It would create additional containers for each container, registered to its service. See also createDynamicContainer in nsINavBookmarksService.

Methods
Called when the given container has just been moved, in case
the service needs to do any bookkeeping.
Called AFTER the container has been moved.
@param aItemId
The item-id of the container item.
@param aNewParent
The item of the new parent folder for the container.
@param aNewIndex
The index the container will be inserted at, or -1 for append.
Called when the given container has just been collapsed so that the
service can do any necessary cleanup. This is NOT guaranteed to get
called. In particular, if the query just goes away, you will not get this
call. This only happens when the container itself goes from the open state
to the closed state. A service with large numbers of dynamically populated
items might use this to do some cleanup so those items don't hang around
@param aContainer
The container node of the container being closed. The service need
not worry about removing any created nodes, they will be
automatically removed when this call completes.
Called when the given container node is about to be populated so that the
service can populate the container if necessary.
@param aContainer
The container node for the container being opened. Note that all
result nodes implement a property bag if you need to store state.
@param aOptions
The options used to generate this query. Containers should follow
these when possible, for example, whether to expand queries, etc.
Implementations should use this when possible if adding query and
folder nodes to the container. DO NOT MODIFY THIS VALUE.
void
onContainerNodeOpening(in nsINavHistoryContainerResultNode aContainer, in nsINavHistoryQueryOptions aOptions)
Called when the given container is about to be deleted from the bookmarks
table, so that the service can do any necessary cleanup.
Called BEFORE the container is deleted, so that the service
can still reference it.
@param aItemId
The item-id of the container item.
