I noticed that there is a delay due to the inspection being split into one part that gets the attribute and another eval that does the inspection. This is a bit hacky and uses temporary global names that are leaky. The timeout was presumably to ensure that the first step had fully propagated but it's slow. As we've learned, it can be throttled, and it isn't a guarantee either way. Instead, we can just consolidate these into a single operation that by-passes the bridge and goes straight to the renderer interface from the eval. I did the same for the viewElementSource helper even though that's not currently in use since #28471 but I think we probably should return to that technique when it's available since it's more reliable than the throw - at least in Chrome. I'm not sure about the status of React Native here. In Firefox, inspecting a function with source maps doesn't seem to work. It doesn't jump to original code.
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.
To install all necessary dependencies, run the following command from the root of the repository:
yarn install
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 commands starting from the root of the repository:
cd scripts/release
yarn install
./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
yarn build:edge # => packages/react-devtools-extensions/edge/build
yarn run test:edge # Test Edge extension
