Serial API #5034
Comments

It would be nice to add this. It's already (at least partially) available in Chrome. |
|
Google's site says it's in Chrome 80 and later. https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/web-serial/#0 |
|
The Web Serial API is currently under Origin Trial. That is, you need to get a token to use the feature and its API methods are being added, tweaked, and will be disabled after 0.5% of all web page views use the feature. |
|
Web Serial has just been released in Chrome 89 stable. See the release blog post. |
|
To be clear, features behind flags such as "Experimental Web Platform Features" are intended for web developers to try things out and hopefully find bugs that Chrome's testing missed before a feature reaches production. We actively discourage people from telling users to flip these flags. |

Web Serial was also enabled for any domain that had a Chrome Origin Trial
Token in the page <head> on earlier versions of Chrome. It didn't require
end users to flip a flag in that case.

That's not considered production. It's so that things can be tested many users and not become a permanent part of the web platform. When an origin trial ends it's retroactive. If Chrome 90 ships a feature that was an origin trial in 89, you can't continue to use it, even if you still have 89 installed. |
New in chrome 77. Simmilar to WebUSB but for serial port
