DevTools isn't being downloaded like typical JavaScript, so bundle size concerns don't apply. Parsing is still a consideration (so I'm open for discussion here) but I think this change would provide a couple of benefits: * People are more likely to *actually read* non-minified source code when e.g. a breakpoint is hit (as with the recent debugger statement) * Component stacks will be easier to parse on bug reports
This is the source code for the React DevTools browser extension.
Installation
The easiest way to install this extension is as a browser add-on:
Local development
You can also build and install this extension from source.
Prerequisite steps
DevTools depends on local versions of several NPM packages1 also in this workspace. You'll need to either build or download those packages first.
1 Note that at this time, an experimental build is required because DevTools depends on the createRoot API.
Build from source
To build dependencies from source, run the following command from the root of the repository:
yarn build-for-devtools
Download from CI
To use the latest build from CI, run the following command from the root of the repository:
./scripts/release/download-experimental-build.js
Build steps
Once the above packages have been built or downloaded, you can build the extension by running:
cd packages/react-devtools-extensions/
yarn build:chrome # => packages/react-devtools-extensions/chrome/build
yarn run test:chrome # Test Chrome extension
yarn build:firefox # => packages/react-devtools-extensions/firefox/build
yarn run test:firefox # Test Firefox extension
