1624296 - [meta] Implement DevTools support for CSS Painting API Level 1

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: Inspector: Rules, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Sebastian Zartner [:sebo]]

Once the CSS Painting API Level 1 is implemented, support for it should be implemented in the DevTools as well.

(Incomplete) list of feature ideas:

• Display a preview of the generated images like it's done for normal types of images when hovering the value in the Rules and Computed panels (and maybe other panels)
• Auto-completion of registered paints when editing values in the Rules panel
• Auto-completion of input arguments for paints
• Allow to get to the declaration in JavaScript within the Debugger panel from the value within the Rules and Computed panels

Removing the dev-doc-needed flag again because it will be set on individual feature bugs.

The meta keyword is there, the bug doesn't depend on other bugs and there is no activity for 12 months.
:jdescottes, maybe it's time to close this bug?

Let's keep the bug around.
Nothing to do in devtools for now given implementation has apparently not started on platform side.

This still seems valid, even if I don't think we have any plan to implement this in gecko at the moment?

Here's a link to the spec: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-paint-api-1/

Julian, Nicolas, I've now created bugs for the different features mentioned in the description, so you won't get nagged again by the BugBot.

Hopefully, the CSS Paint API will get implemented at some point!
