React Native Debugger
React Native Debugger is a standalone developer application for inspecting and debugging JavaScript runtimes in mobile applications built with React Native. It provides a dedicated interface to monitor the runtime state, network requests, and console logs of a remote mobile environment.
The tool integrates specialized inspectors for Redux state management and GraphQL client debugging, allowing for time-traveling state transitions and the analysis of queries, mutations, and local cache. It also features a component hierarchy viewer for visualizing and modifying UI properties in real time.
Broad capability areas include network traffic monitoring for HTTP requests, remote runtime inspection of global variables and memory usage, and the management of persisted local asynchronous storage. The application further supports developer productivity through source-map based navigation that links console logs to an external code editor.
The application is distributed as an Electron-based desktop shell and supports automatic launch via custom URI schemes and packager port detection.
Features
- React Native Debuggers - Provides a standalone developer application for inspecting and debugging JavaScript runtimes in React Native mobile apps.
- Action-Based State Tracking - Implements a Redux inspector for tracking action history and state transitions to diagnose data flow.
- Remote Debugging Sockets - Communicates with the mobile runtime over a socket connection to exchange runtime state and debugging messages.
- JavaScript Runtime Debuggers - Provides remote access to the console, sources, network requests, and memory usage of a JavaScript runtime.
- Real-time Runtime Analysis - Connects via WebSocket to analyze the component hierarchy of a running application in real time.
- Time-Travel Debuggers - Includes a dedicated interface for recording and replaying state transitions to move through application history.
- Component Hierarchy Mirroring - Provides a synchronized visual representation of the live application component tree within the debugger.
- Hierarchy Visualizers - Provides an interactive inspector for visualizing and modifying the component tree of mobile user interfaces.
- UI Inspection Tools - Allows visualizing the component hierarchy and modifying properties in real time to debug mobile screen layouts.
- Real-time Visual Inspectors - Allows visualizing the component tree and modifying properties or state in real time to debug UI behavior.
- State Transition Visualizers - Includes a time-traveling debugger that visually tracks how Redux actions modify the application state.
- Component Hierarchy Viewers - Provides an interactive component hierarchy viewer to visualize and modify the layout and structure of mobile screens in real time.
- HTTP Traffic Analysis - Monitors and analyzes HTTP requests and responses using integrated browser-based developer tools.
- Local Storage Inspectors - Enables reading and clearing persisted key-value data stored in the application's asynchronous storage.
- Source-Linked Logging - Links console logs directly to the source code in an external editor for faster navigation.
- Network Request Loggers - Captures and logs XMLHttpRequest and fetch calls through an integrated developer tools interface.
- Devtool Extensions - Embeds specialized browser extensions for Redux and React to visualize application state and component hierarchies.
- External Editor Integrations - Launches the associated source file in an external code editor when clicking links within the debug console.
- GraphQL Client Inspectors - Provides an interface to monitor and query local data caches to debug GraphQL state changes.
- Remote Runtime Controllers - Sends command signals to the mobile device to trigger application reloads or open developer menus.
- Custom URI Activation - React Native Debugger starts the debugger application and configures the connection host and port using a custom URI scheme.
- Runtime State Monitoring - Exposes internal runtime variables and selected elements in the console for direct inspection of application state.
- Android Remote Control - Triggers application reloads and opens developer menus remotely to avoid manual interaction with the physical device.
- Network Traffic Analyzers - Captures and analyzes application-layer HTTP traffic between the mobile client and backend servers.
- Source Map Deobfuscators - Parses bundled JavaScript maps to resolve runtime errors and events back to the original source files.
- Network Traffic Analysis - Provides tools for capturing and analyzing HTTP requests and responses to debug mobile API integrations.
- Client Debuggers - Provides a dedicated interface for monitoring GraphQL queries, mutations, and local cache state.
- Debugging and Utilities - Standalone debugger for React Native applications.
- Herramientas de desarrollo - Standalone debugger with DevTools support.
- Development Workflow - Standalone debugger for React Native applications.
