### Installation
@ -29,57 +27,152 @@ npm install --save-dev redux-devtools
DevTools is a [store enhancer](http://rackt.github.io/redux/docs/Glossary.html#store-enhancer), which should be added to your middleware stack *after* [`applyMiddleware`](http://rackt.github.io/redux/docs/api/applyMiddleware.html) as `applyMiddleware` is potentially asynchronous. Otherwise, DevTools wont see the raw actions emitted by asynchronous middleware such as [redux-promise](https://github.com/acdlite/redux-promise) or [redux-thunk](https://github.com/gaearon/redux-thunk).
To install, firstly import `devTools` into your root React component:
To use, first create a `DevTools` component by passing a `monitor` component to `createDevTools`. In the following example our `monitor` consists of [`redux-devtools-log-monitor`](https://github.com/gaearon/redux-devtools-log-monitor) docked within [`redux-devtools-dock-monitor`](https://github.com/gaearon/redux-devtools-dock-monitor):
####containers/DevTools.js
```js
// Redux utility functions
import { compose, createStore, applyMiddleware } from 'redux';
import React from 'react';
// Redux DevTools store enhancers
import { devTools, persistState } from 'redux-devtools';
// createDevTools takes a monitor and produces a DevTools component
import { createDevTools } from 'redux-devtools';
// A monitor component for Redux DevTools
// Monitor component for Redux DevTools
import LogMonitor from 'redux-devtools-log-monitor';
// Dock component to contain a Redux DevTools monitor
import DockMonitor from 'redux-devtools-dock-monitor';
export default createDevTools(
<DockMonitor toggleVisibilityKey='H'
changePositionKey='Q'>
<LogMonitor />
</DockMonitor>
);
```
Then, add `devTools` to your store enhancers, and create your store:
Note that it is not essential to put [`redux-devtools-log-monitor`](https://github.com/gaearon/redux-devtools-log-monitor) inside the dock component, it can be placed wherever you like in the component tree.
Next add `instrument()` and (optionally) `persistState()` to your store enhancers, and create your store:
```js
import { createStore, compose } from 'redux';
import { persistState } from 'redux-devtools';
import rootReducer from '../reducers';
import DevTools from '../containers/DevTools';
const finalCreateStore = compose(
// Enables your middleware:
applyMiddleware(m1, m2, m3), // any Redux middleware, e.g. redux-thunk
// Provides support for DevTools:
devTools(),
// Provide support for DevTools
DevTools.instrument(),
// Lets you write ?debug_session=<name> in address bar to persist debug sessions
persistState(window.location.href.match(/[?&]debug_session=([^&]+)\b/))
persistState(
window.location.href.match(
/[?&]debug_session=([^&]+)\b/
)
)
)(createStore);
const store = finalCreateStore(reducer);
export default function configureStore(initialState) {
const store = finalCreateStore(rootReducer, initialState);
// enable hot reloading for the store
if (module.hot) {
module.hot.accept('../reducers', () =>
store.replaceReducer(require('../reducers'))
);
}
return store;
}
```
Finally, include the `DevTools` in your page. You may pass either `LogMonitor` (the default one) or any of the custom monitors described below.
Finally, include the DevTools component in your page:
####index.js
```js
import React from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
import { Provider } from 'react-redux';
import configureStore from './store/configureStore';
import TodoApp from './TodoApp';
import DevTools from './DevTools';
const store = configureStore();
render(
<Provider store={store}>
<div>
<TodoApp />
<DevTools />
</div>
</Provider>
document.getElementById('app')
);
```
**Make sure to only use DevTools in development!** In production it will be terribly slow because currently actions just accumulate forever.
In Webpack, you can use `DefinePlugin` to turn magic constants like `__DEV__` into `true` or `false` depending on the environment, and import and render `redux-devtools` conditionally behind `if (__DEV__)`. Then, if you have an Uglify step before production, Uglify will eliminate dead `if (false)` branches with `redux-devtools` imports.
If you are using ES6 modules with Webpack 1.x, you might try putting your `import` statement inside an `if (__DEV__)` to exclude the DevTools package from your production bundle. This will not work. However, you can work around this by creating separate `dev` and `prod` Root components that are dynamically imported using commonJS `require`:
####containers/Root.js
```js
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
module.exports = require('./Root.prod');
} else {
module.exports = require('./Root.dev');
}
```
####Root.dev.js
```js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Provider } from 'react-redux';
import TodoApp from './TodoApp';
import DevTools from './DevTools';
export default class Root extends Component {
render() {
const { store } = this.props;
return (
<div>
<Provider store={store}>
<CounterApp />
</Provider>
<LogMonitor store={store.devToolsStore} />
</div>
<Provider store={store}>
<div>
<TodoApp />
<DevTools />
</div>
</Provider>
);
}
}
```
**Make sure to only apply `devTools()` in development!** In production, this will be terribly slow because actions just accumulate forever. (We'll need to implement a rolling window for dev too.)
####Root.prod.js
For example, in Webpack, you can use `DefinePlugin` to turn magic constants like `__DEV__` into `true` or `false` depending on the environment, and import and render `redux-devtools` conditionally behind `if (__DEV__)`. Then, if you have an Uglify step before production, Uglify will eliminate dead `if (false)` branches with `redux-devtools` imports. Here is [an example](https://github.com/erikras/react-redux-universal-hot-example/) that adds Redux DevTools handling the production case correctly.
```js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Provider } from 'react-redux';
import TodoApp from './TodoApp';
export default class Root extends Component {
render() {
const { store } = this.props;
return (
<Provider store={store}>
<TodoApp />
</Provider>
);
}
}
```

### Custom Monitors
**You can build a completely custom UI for it** because `<DevTools>` accepts a `monitor` React component prop. The included `LogMonitor` is just an example.
**DevTools accepts monitor components so you can build a completely custom UI.** [`redux-devtools-log-monitor`](https://github.com/gaearon/redux-devtools-log-monitor) and [`redux-devtools-dock-monitor`](https://github.com/gaearon/redux-devtools-dock-monitor) are just examples of what is possible.
