In order to display proper styles information, the CSS agent needs to be sent information following a very specific interface for the selected node in the visual tree.

Selecting an element from the DOM requires the following information to be computed and sent to the inspector:

• Inline styles -> CSSStyle
• Style matches -> RuleMatch[]
• Inherited styles -> InheritedStyleEntry[]
• (out of the 3.1 scope) Pseudo Element matches -> PseudoElementMatches[]
• Computed Styles for node -> CSSComputedStyleProperty[]
• (out of the 3.1 scope) Element Fonts -> PlatformFontUsage

CSSStyle, RuleMatch, InheritedStyleEntry, PseudoElementMatches, CSSComputedStyleProperty, PlatformFontUsage classes' definitions can be previewed at https://github.com/NativeScript/android-runtime/blob/43f9bd0ff7cc96e0560bf5f965ee5f01e19f12d5/test-app/app/src/main/assets/app/css-classes.d.ts#L3

Part of Epic #563

Inspecting computed Styles for the selected node (Elements tab) will be available immediately with the 3.1.0 release!

Are further improvements to styles inspection still on the roadmap?
