🚀 Getting Started
- Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store (or load unpacked for development)
- Open your React or Vue application
- Click the Component Debugger icon in your toolbar
- Select your framework (React or Vue)
- Click "Scan" to detect components
- Start exploring!
📖 Usage Tips
Finding Performance Issues
Look for components with:
- High render counts (yellow warning icon)
- Slow render times (>5ms may indicate optimization opportunities)
- Unnecessary re-renders (check if props/state actually changed)
Inspecting Data
- Click the expand arrows in nested objects to see all values
- Use the search bar to quickly find specific components
- Compare props and state to understand component behavior
Best Practices
- Run scans after major user interactions to see state changes
- Monitor render counts during development to catch performance issues early
- Use the extension alongside your browser's DevTools for complete debugging
🔧 Technical Details
Supported Environments
- Chrome 88+
- React 16.8+ (Hooks supported)
- Vue 2.x and Vue 3.x
Limitations
- Client-side rendered applications only (SSR support coming soon)
- Requires unminified code for best component name display
- Performance metrics are estimates and may vary
🐛 Known Issues
We're tracking these issues for future releases:
- Minified code - Component names may not display correctly in production builds
- SSR applications - Server-side rendered apps require additional setup
- Large component trees - Apps with 100+ components may experience slight lag
- Hot reloading - May require manual rescan after hot module replacement
🔮 What's Next
We're already working on v1.1.0 with exciting features:
- Time-travel debugging to replay state changes
- Component update history tracking
- Performance profiling charts
- Export data to JSON for analysis
- Next.js and Nuxt.js support
- Custom color themes
