@solid-devtools/overlay


An on-page devtools overlay for debugging SolidJS Applications without a chrome extension.

Simply add the Overlay component to your app and get access to a powerful, in-browser devtools experience during development. _(It will be removed in production)_

Try it online!

A couple of deployed demo websites where you can see the Overlay in action:

- Sandbox Website - Source code

Getting started

$3

``bash
npm i @solid-devtools/overlay


or

yarn add @solid-devtools/overlay

or

pnpm add @solid-devtools/overlay
`

$3

Simply place the overlay component in the client entry file.

`tsx
import { attachDevtoolsOverlay } from '@solid-devtools/overlay'

attachDevtoolsOverlay()

// or with some options

attachDevtoolsOverlay({
defaultOpen: true, // or alwaysOpen
noPadding: true,
})
`

Don't worry about wrapping it with a isDev guard, the Overlay takes care of that for you. It should be excluded from production builds automatically.

Enabling the autoname setting is optional, but can display name of SolidJS's reactive state in overlay.

To enable it you need to add it to plugins array in your .vite.config.ts file:

`ts
// vite.config.ts

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import solid from 'vite-plugin-solid'
import devtools from 'solid-devtools/vite'

export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
devtools({
autoname: true,
}),
solid(),
],
})
``
