mobx-preact-devtools (in developing)

DevTools for MobX to track the rendering behavior and data dependencies of your app.

It is a fork from original react mobx devtools (https://github.com/mobxjs/mobx-react-devtools) to work with preact instead of react.

!MobX DevTools

Installation

npm install --save-dev mobx-preact-devtools

Usage

Somewhere in your application, create a DevTools component:

``js
import { h, Component } from 'preact';
import DevTools from 'mobx-preact-devtools';

class MyApp extends Component {
render() {
return (



);
}
}
`
Supported props:
* highlightTimeout — number, default: 1500
* noPanel — boolean, if set, do not render control panel
* position — object, position of control panel, default: { top: -2, right: 20 }
* className — string, className of control panel
* style — object, inline style object of control panel
* position — string or object, topRight, bottomRight, bottomLeft or topLeft, default: bottomRight

The position of the panel can be tweaked by setting the value to an object with top, right, bottom or left defined. Setting it to { top: -2, right: 20 } is the same as topRight.

From there on, after each rendering a reactive components logs the following three metrics:
1. Number of times the component did render so far
2. The time spend in the render() method of a component
3. The time spend from the start of the render() method until the changes are flushed to the DOM

For each component the color indicates roughly how long the coloring took. Rendering times are cumulative; they include time spend in the children
* Green: less then 25 ms
* Orange: less then 100 ms
* Red: rendering for this component took more than 100ms

Note that if logging is enabled, MobX actions and reactions will appear as collapsible groups inside the browsers console.
Mind that any log statements that are printed during these (re)actions will appear inside those groups as well, so that you can exactly trace when they are triggered.

$3

`js
import { configureDevtool } from 'mobx-preact-devtools';

// Any configurations are optional
configureDevtool({
// Turn on logging changes button programmatically:
logEnabled: true,
// Turn off displaying components updates button programmatically:
updatesEnabled: false,
// Log only changes of type reaction
// (only affects top-level messages in console, not inside groups)
logFilter: change => change.type === 'reaction',
});

`

There are also aliases for turning on/off devtools buttons:

`js
import { setLogEnabled, setUpdatesEnabled, setGraphEnabled } from 'mobx-preact-devtools';

setLogEnabled(true); // same as configureDevtool({ logEnabled: true });
setUpdatesEnabled(false); // same as configureDevtool({ updatesEnabled: false });
setGraphEnabled(false); // same as configureDevtool({ graphEnabled: false });
`

$3

`js
import { h, Component } from 'preact';
import DevTools, { GraphControl, LogControl, UpdatesControl } from 'mobx-preact-devtools';

class MyNiceButton extends Component {
render() {
const { active, onToggle, children } = this.props;
return (

{children}
{active ? ' on' : ' off'}

);
}
}

class MyApp extends Component {
render() {
return (



);
}
}
