Bug 221370 – Web Inspector: Elements: show badges for CSS Grid container elements

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Nikita Vasilyev]

Elements with `display: grid` or `display: inline-grid` should have a "grid" badge:

    <div class="wrapper"> [grid]

Clicking [grid] should toggle the grid overlay.

I think this should be more specific like `.tree-outline.dom li > .badge-css-grid` so that there's less of a chance of a selector clash.

Is the DOM tree always LTR?  If not, I think this should be `margin-inline-start`.

dark mode?

Why are we removing the border and background when the element is selected?  This looks really weird IMO (especially when unfocused, as it's like the badge disappears and there's this random text left there).

ditto (:+42)

You probably need to add/remove these event listeners inside `_handleLayoutContextTypeChanged` in case a node that initially wasn't a grid context later becomes one.

this should use a different setting (or this setting should be renamed to be more generic) as it has nothing to do with the Layout panel

IMO we should maintain some state on `WI.DOMNode` that indicates what overlays are currently shown and use that to determine whether to `showGridOverlay` or `hideGridOverlay`.  `toggle*` functions are not great IMO because it's very easy for them to get out of sync.

It is always LTR.

I attached a video. It's white text on blue background on both light and dark modes.

I agree this can be improved. I'll reiterate on this.

Oh, good catch.

WI.OverlayManager seems more appropriate for this. It already has ` _gridOverlayForNodeMap`. I don't see the case when it gets out of sync but wouldn't with the state being on `WI.DOMNode`.

`.tree-outline.dom li > .badge-css-grid` won't work — it would have to be `.tree-outline.dom li > span > .badge-css-grid`.

I'm not a fan of overcomplicating selectors. It would agree with you if one badge could be inside of another. It isn't the case here.

In my very first iteration, non-activated badges looked the same on selected and non-selected elements. Is that what you're suggesting? It looks a bit foreign on macOS.

I added borders for badges when the element is selected.

Note that badges may end up looking different after Bug 221923: Web Inspector: Display color swatch inside of "grid" element badge.

r=me.

The code changes look good to me. At this point it's tweaking color styles. As we discussed, the  gray on gray on gray scheme for inactive badge in an inactive window has low contrast and doesn't look like a button. To be consistent with our other button UI (especially scope bar), the background color shouldn't change when the DOMTreeElement selection color goes from blue to gray upon losing keyboard focus or window focus.

I'm open to considering a wholesale change to dim our custom buttons when losing window focus. Even if it's a good idea, it should not be considered as part of this button patch.

I'll iterate on the colors in 'Bug 221923: Web Inspector: Display color swatch inside of "grid" element badge' or even before that.
