mobx-remotedev


Remote debugging for MobX with Redux DevTools extension (and remotedev coming soon)

!Demo

Installation

#### 1. Get the extension

##### 1.1 For Chrome

- from Chrome Web Store
- or build it with npm i & npm run build:extension and load the extension's folder ./build/extension
- or run it in dev mode with npm i & npm start and load the extension's folder ./dev.

##### 1.2 For Firefox

- from AMO
- or build it with npm i & npm run build:firefox and load the extension's folder ./build/firefox.

##### 1.3 For Electron

- just specify REDUX_DEVTOOLS in electron-devtools-installer.

##### 1.4 For other browsers, for React Native, hybrid, desktop and server side apps

- Use remotedev.io or if you have the extension select Remote DevTools from the context menu. Just specify remote parameter, and optionally hostname and port. See the API for details.

#### 2. Install the library

``
npm install --save mobx-remotedev
`

Usage

`js
import remotedev from 'mobx-remotedev';
// or import remotedev from 'mobx-remotedev/lib/dev'
// in case you want to use it in production or don't have process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'

const appStore = observable({
// ...
});

// Or
class appStore {
// ...
}

export default remotedev(appStore);
`

Or as ES decorator:

`js
import remotedev from 'mobx-remotedev';

@remotedev(/{ config }/)
export default class appStore {
// ...
}
`

See counter, simple-todo and todomvc examples.

API

#### remotedev(store, [config])

- arguments
- store _observable or class_ to be monitored. In case you want to change its values (to time travel or cancel actions), you should export its result as in the example above (so we can extend the class).
- config _object_ (optional as the parameters bellow)
- name _string_ - the instance name to be showed on the monitor page. Default value is document.title.
- onlyActions _boolean_ - set it to true to have a clear log only with actions. If MobX is in strict mode, it is true by default. Don't forget about async actions.
- global _boolean_ - set it to true in order to assign dispatching of all unhandled actions to this store. Useful for nested classes / observables or when having async actions without specifying the scope explicitly.
- filters _object_ - map of arrays named whitelist or blacklist to filter action types. You can also set it globally in the extension settings.
- blacklist _array of (regex as string)_ - actions to be hidden in DevTools.
- whitelist _array of (regex as string)_ - all other actions will be hidden in DevTools (the blacklist parameter will be ignored).
- remote _boolean_ - set it to true to have remote monitoring via the local or remotedev.io server. remote: false is used for the extension or react-native-debugger
- hostname _string_ - use to specify host for remotedev-server. If port is specified, default value is localhost.
- port _number_ - use to specify host's port for remotedev-server.

Also see the extension API and my presentation at React Europe.

Exclude / include DevTools in production builds

By default use

`js
import remotedev from 'mobx-remotedev';
`

It will work only when process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development', otherwise the code will be stripped.

In case you want to use it in production or cannot set process.env.NODE_ENV, use

`js
import remotedev from 'mobx-remotedev/lib/dev';
`

So, the code will not be stripped from production bundle and you can use the extension even in production. It wouldn't affect the performance for end-users who don't have the extension installed.

FAQ

$3

Use remotedev function for them as well. Example

$3

By default it will try to set the properties of the class or observable object, but, if you have an importState method, it will be used. Example

$3

Check __isRemotedevAction of your class or observable object, which will be set to true when it's a monitor action. Example

$3

Use runInAction and don't forget about the second / third parameter which will be this if you're using arrow functions. If you don't want to specify it, set the global parameter to true. Example

$3

Just set the global parameter to true like remotedev(store, { global: true })`. If you want more details about the nested tree, see #5.
