Bug 153733 – Web Inspector: DataGridNode should support adding go-to arrow buttons to any cell

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Matt Baker]

* SUMMARY
DataGridNode should support adding go-to arrow buttons to any cell. TimelineDataGridNode automatically creates go-to arrows for SourceCodeLocation cells, but currently it's not convenient to add go-to arrows to arbitrary cells.

As part of the Timelines UI redesign, grids will need cells with arrow buttons for navigating to resources: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153032.

Why?

I think of DataGrid as a table containing cells. In which case:

- Most DataGrids will not require this, so it shouldn't be in the base class.
- When there are goto arrows, I prefer they have a sourceCodeLocation and so can provide a tooltip
- Placement of the goto arrow may be different depending on what the cell wants.
- If a cell manually creates its own goto arrow, the DataGrid's GoToArrowClicked is not triggered. That seems confusing.

Currently goto arrows are only created for SourceCodeLocation's but this will be changing. Cells in the 'Name' column created by ResourceDataGridNode (https://webkit.org/b/153034) needs a goto arrow, but don't have SourceCodeLocations. It's up to the NetworkTimeView/OverviewTimelineView to handle the grid's GoToArrowClicked event and open a content view for the node's resource. This is similar to what the TimelineSidebarPanel does now.

It seems like right-aligned goto arrows is pretty standard throughout the UI (SourceCodeLocation cells, tree elements).
> - If a cell manually creates its own goto arrow, the DataGrid's
> GoToArrowClicked is not triggered. That seems confusing.
I agree that this is somewhat confusing.
