Bug 177346 – Web Inspector: Add autocompletion suggestions for CSS attr based on the selected element's attributes

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Devin Rousso]

If the user is asking for completions inside a CSS `attr()`, we should add entries based on the existing dataset attributes of the corresponding node.

In the following example:

    <style>
        div {
            content: attr();
        }
    </style>
    <div data-test="test"></div>

If the user puts their cursor at `attr(|`, the completions list should contain "data-test".

We could use this as an opportunity to write a test for `DOMNode.prototype.attributes`, which this depends on and which we don't have any existing tests for! I suggest starting a new: LayoutTests/inspector/model/dom-node.html, then as we want to test different parts of DOMNode we just add a small method. A test for attributes can just have a few different nodes with different attributes and log their attributes + values.

This feels a bit hacky, but its short and simple.

attr() can be used with any attribute, not just "data-" prefixed attributes. A common usage may be `title` or `alt`:

    <style>p::before { color: blue; content: attr(title); }</style>
    <p title="Test">Hello</p>

So I think we should just push all attribute names.

I don't know how this would work with XML namespaced attributes. Maybe we should ignore those (they may also be unlikely).

I don't know why, but I thought this was "data-*" only.  It's awesome to know otherwise :)
