TAG review

Review Request for CSS Subgrid · Issue #712 · w3ctag/design-reviews (github.com)

 

TAG review status

Issues addressed

 

Risks

 

Interoperability and Compatibility

This is a well-defined specification from the W3C, so we would be addressing some interoperability gaps instead of causing them.

 

Gecko: Shipped/Shipping

 

WebKit: Shipped/Shipping

 

Web developers: Strongly positive

 

Other signals:

 

WebView application risks

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?

 

Debuggability

This feature is an extension of the capabilities of the CSS Grid Layout Module, no new properties will be introduced, but a new value "subgrid" will be introduced and properly rolled into the DevTools repository.

 

Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)?

Yes

 

Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests?

Yes

 

Flag name

LayoutNGSubgrid

 

Requires code in //chrome?

False

 

Tracking bug

https://crbug.com/618969

 

Estimated milestones

The below estimates may adjust depending on when fragmentation support and the fixes for a couple of invalidation bugs are completed.

 

Shipping on desktop

116

DevTrial on desktop

114

 

Shipping on Android

116

DevTrial on Android

Shipping on iOS

Anticipated spec changes

The below issues require spec resolution. These ones have interop risk depending on the resulting resolutions, but there is currently no interop between browsers on these today. As a result, we don’t consider these to block shipping, but we do plan to continue to drive forward resolutions:

 

The below issues require spec clarification, but there is already consensus between implementations and should not block shipping or result in any future risk:

LGTM1. Two other browsers already shipped the feature. No doubts about shipping it.

Well, a short search revealed this article (by Ahmed Shadeed) as a great explainer!
https://wpt.fyi/results/css/css-grid/subgrid?label=experimental&label=master&aligned has a few red spots. Are those being tracked somewhere? Any sense of their impact on compatibility once we say we `@supports` subgrid?

Also, thank you so much for working on this and aligning us with other vendors on this important developer feature!! :)

wpt.fyi is just a bit slow - all these tests are passing on ToT except "line-names-007.html" which is dependent on a CSSWG resolution from one of the issues listed below.

We've also asked that the additional tests which have been written be added to the interop 2023 effort here: https://github.com/web-platform-tests/interop/issues/361

Really looking forward for having subgrid support everywhere!
