Summer goes on, and with it, another month is in the books. In this quick edition of the Baseline monthly digest, we’ll catch up on all things Baseline that happened in July.
JetBrains implements Baseline support in IntelliJ-based IDEs
JetBrains offers IntelliJ-based IDEs which are tools for developers writing Java and Kotlin code, but they’re also used for frontend web development. Recently, JetBrains integrated support for Baseline in these IDEs. While these IDEs add Baseline support for CSS and HTML, support for JavaScript features is also added! If you use these IDEs already, you don’t need to do anything special like install a plugin—it’s a core update that all users will receive.
Recently, an update landed in version 140 of Chrome that adds Baseline to the hover cards you see when you hover over CSS properties in the Elements panel of Chrome DevTools.
The addition of Baseline messaging to these hover cards in Chrome DevTools gives you the ability to quickly assess the compatibility of CSS features as they debug and experiment with CSS properties in the Elements panel. Big thanks to Alexey Rodionov for implementing this feature!
More Visual Studio Code-based IDEs inherit Baseline hovercards
Many IDEs are based on Visual Studio Code, and, as they update to the latest version of Visual Studio Code, they receive the new features. Recently, two of these IDEs have received Baseline hovercards for CSS and HTML features that landed in Visual Studio Code earlier this year:
As time goes on, we expect that additional IDEs based on Visual Studio Code will inherit these hovercards and make clear information on web feature compatibility more accessible to developers in their workflow.
That’s a wrap
With July behind us, we’re now onto August and we anticipate further developments in Baseline. As usual, let us know if we missed anything Baseline-related, and we’ll make sure it gets captured in a future edition. See you in a month!
