# react-inspector [![build status](https://img.shields.io/travis/storybookjs/react-inspector/master.svg?style=flat-square)](https://travis-ci.org/storybookjs/react-inspector) [![npm version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/react-inspector.svg?style=flat-square)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-inspector) [![npm downloads](https://img.shields.io/npm/dm/react-inspector.svg?style=flat-square)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-inspector) Power of [Browser DevTools](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/) inspectors right inside your React app. Check out the [interactive playground](https://storybookjs.github.io/react-inspector/) or [storybook](https://react-inspector.netlify.com). ![''](https://storybookjs.github.io/react-inspector/objectinspector.png) ![''](https://cldup.com/XhNGcBq9h2.png) ![''](https://storybookjs.github.io/react-inspector/tableinspector.png) ## Install NPM: ```sh npm install react-inspector ``` Recommended versions: - version `3.0.2`: If you are using React 16.8.4 or later. - version `2.3.1`: If you are using an earlier version of React. ## Getting started ### <Inspector /> A shorthand for the inspectors. - `` is equivalent to `` or `` if inspecting a DOM Node. - `` is equivalent to ``. ### <ObjectInspector /> Like `console.log`. Consider this as a glorified version of `

JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)

`. #### How it works Tree state is saved at root. If you click to expand some elements in the hierarchy, the state will be preserved after the element is unmounted. #### API The component accepts the following props: **`data: PropTypes.any`:** the Javascript object you would like to inspect **`name: PropTypes.string`:** specify the optional name of the root node, default to `undefined` **`expandLevel: PropTypes.number`:** an integer specifying to which level the tree should be initially expanded **`expandPaths: PropTypes.oneOfType([PropTypes.string, PropTypes.array])`:** an array containing all the paths that should be expanded when the component is initialized, or a string of just one path - The path string is similar to [JSONPath](https://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/). - It is a dot separated string like `$.foo.bar`. `$.foo.bar` expands the path `$.foo.bar` where `$` refers to the root node. Note that it only expands that single node (but not all its parents and the root node). Instead, you should use `expandPaths={['$', '$.foo', '$.foo.bar']}` to expand all the way to the `$.foo.bar` node. - You can refer to array index paths using `['$', '$.1']` - You can use wildcard to expand all paths on a specific level - For example, to expand all first level and second level nodes, use `['$', '$.*']` (equivalent to `expandLevel={2}`) - the results are merged with expandLevel **`showNonenumerable: PropTypes.bool`:** show non-enumerable properties **`sortObjectKeys: PropTypes.oneOfType([PropTypes.bool, PropTypes.func])`:** Sort object keys with optional compare function When `sortObjectKeys={true}` is provided, keys of objects are sorted in alphabetical order except for arrays. **`nodeRenderer: PropTypes.func`:** Use a custom `nodeRenderer` to render the object properties (optional) - Instead of using the default `nodeRenderer`, you can provide a custom function for rendering object properties. The _default_ nodeRender looks like this: ```js import { ObjectRootLabel, ObjectLabel } from 'react-inspector' const defaultNodeRenderer = ({ depth, name, data, isNonenumerable, expanded }) => depth === 0 ? : ; ``` ### <TableInspector /> Like `console.table`. #### API The component accepts the following props: **`data: PropTypes.oneOfType([PropTypes.array, PropTypes.object])`:** the Javascript object you would like to inspect, either an array or an object **`columns: PropTypes.array`:** An array of the names of the columns you'd like to display in the table ### <DOMInspector /> #### API The component accepts the following props: **`data: PropTypes.object`:** the DOM Node you would like to inspect #### Usage ```js import { ObjectInspector, TableInspector } from 'react-inspector'; // or use the shorthand import { Inspector } from 'react-inspector'; const MyComponent = ({ data }) =>

let data = { /* ... */ }; ReactDOM.render( , document.getElementById('root') ); ``` Try embedding the inspectors inside a component's render() method to provide a live view for its props/state (Works even better with hot reloading). ### More Examples Check out the storybook for more examples. ```sh npm install && npm run storybook ``` Open [http://localhost:9001/](http://localhost:9001/) ## Theme By specifying the `theme` prop you can customize the inspectors. `theme` prop can be 1. a string referring to a preset theme (`"chromeLight"` or `"chromeDark"`, default to `"chromeLight"`) 2. or a custom object that provides the necessary variables. Checkout [`src/styles/themes`](https://github.com/storybookjs/react-inspector/tree/master/src/styles/themes) for possible theme variables. **Example 1:** Using a preset theme: ```js ``` **Example 2:** changing the tree node indentation by inheriting the chrome light theme: ```js import { chromeLight } from 'react-inspector' ``` ## Roadmap Type of inspectors: - [x] Tree style - [x] common objects - [x] DOM nodes - [x] Table style - [ ] Column resizer - [ ] Group style ## Contribution Contribution is welcome. [Past contributors](https://github.com/storybookjs/react-inspector/graphs/contributors) ## Additional - If you intend to capture `console.log`s, you may want to look at [`console-feed`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/console-feed). - `react-object-inspector` package will be deprecated. `` is now part of the new package `react-inspector`. - Why inline style? [This document](https://github.com/erikras/react-redux-universal-hot-example/blob/master/docs/InlineStyles.md) summarizes it well.
