Bug 141058 – Web Inspector: Support console.table

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Joseph Pecoraro]

* SUMMARY
Support console.table:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Console.table

* SUGGESTED OUTPUT
- Support a single array:
  - console.table(["a", "b", "c"])
  => 2 columns, "Index" and "Value"
- Support a single object: 
  - console.table({first:"Joe",last:"Peck"})
  => 2 columns, "Index" which will be object keys and "Value" the value for that key
- Support array of arrays: console.table([["Joe", "Peck"], ["First", "Last"]])
  => 3 columns, "(Index)" for the item index in the outer list, "0", "1" indexes of the arrays in the inner lists
- Support array of objects: console.table({first:"Joe",last:"Peck"}, {first:"First",last:"Last"})
  => 3 columns, "(Index)" for the item index in the outer list, "first", "last" properties of the objects in the inner list
- Support column name filtering optional second argument:
  - console.table({first:"Joe",last:"Peck"}, {first:"First",last:"Last"}, ["first"])
  - console.table({first:"Joe",last:"Peck"}, {first:"First",last:"Last"}, "first")
  => 2 columns, "(Index)" for the item index in the outer list, "first" the property of the objects in the inner list
- Only support 10 properties / array indexes + the "(Index)" column
  - console.table([arrWith20Values, arrWith20Values])
  => 11 columns, "(Index)" for the item index in the outer list, "0".."9" for the indexes of the arrays

* NOTES
- One major advantage of console.table is being able to sort the output, so support sorting!

NOTE: Blink added a Command Line API shortcut "table" for "console.table"

[IMAGE] Progress

This is what I have so far. Selection is a bit wonky. But it works pretty well! I need to add tests before putting up a patch.

[PATCH] Proposed Fix

Actually, tests here are not useful until we refactor ConsoleMessage logic into Model objects and View objects. Currently Test.js tests avoid Console tests for this, and testing at the inspector-protocol level is not particularly useful. We would just be testing that we get the "table". string...

I might have to rebaseline that one test. I'll watch for it.
