## Communicate with the extension directly
|
|
|
|
> Note this is advanced API, which you usually don't need to use with Redux enhancer.
|
|
|
|
Use the following methods of `window.__REDUX_DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION__`:
|
|
|
|
- [connect](#connect)
|
|
- [disconnect](#disconnect)
|
|
- [send](#send)
|
|
- [listen](#listen)
|
|
- [open](#open)
|
|
- [notifyErrors](#notifyerrors)
|
|
|
|
<a id="connect"></a>
|
|
|
|
### connect([options])
|
|
|
|
##### Arguments
|
|
|
|
- [`options`] _Object_ - [see the available options](Arguments.md).
|
|
|
|
##### Returns
|
|
|
|
_Object_ containing the following methods:
|
|
|
|
- `subscribe(listener)` - adds a change listener. It will be called any time an action is dispatched from the monitor. Returns a function to unsubscribe the current listener.
|
|
- `unsubscribe()` - unsubscribes all listeners.
|
|
- `send(action, state)` - sends a new action and state manually to be shown on the monitor. If action is `null` then we suppose we send `liftedState`.
|
|
- `init(state)` - sends the initial state to the monitor.
|
|
- `error(message)` - sends the error message to be shown in the extension's monitor.
|
|
|
|
Example of usage:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const devTools = window.__REDUX_DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION__.connect(config);
|
|
devTools.subscribe((message) => {
|
|
if (message.type === 'DISPATCH' && message.state) {
|
|
console.log('DevTools requested to change the state to', message.state);
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
devTools.init({ value: 'initial state' });
|
|
devTools.send('change state', { value: 'state changed' });
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See [redux enhancer's example](https://github.com/reduxjs/redux-devtools/blob/main/packages/redux-devtools-extension/src/logOnly.ts), [react example](https://github.com/zalmoxisus/redux-devtools-extension/blob/master/examples/react-counter-messaging/components/Counter.js) and [blog post](https://medium.com/@zalmoxis/redux-devtools-without-redux-or-how-to-have-a-predictable-state-with-any-architecture-61c5f5a7716f) for more details.
|
|
|
|
### disconnect()
|
|
|
|
Remove extensions listener and disconnect extensions background script connection. Usually just unsubscribing the listener inside the `connect` is enough.
|
|
|
|
<a id="send"></a>
|
|
|
|
### send(action, state, [options, instanceId])
|
|
|
|
Send a new action and state manually to be shown on the monitor. It's recommended to use [`connect`](connect), unless you want to hook into an already created instance.
|
|
|
|
##### Arguments
|
|
|
|
- `action` _String_ (action type) or _Object_ with required `type` key.
|
|
- `state` _any_ - usually object to expand.
|
|
- [`options`] _Object_ - [see the available options](Arguments.md).
|
|
- [`instanceId`] _String_ - instance id for which to include the log. If not specified and not present in the `options` object, will be the first available instance.
|
|
|
|
<a id="listen"></a>
|
|
|
|
### listen(onMessage, instanceId)
|
|
|
|
Listen for messages dispatched for specific `instanceId`. For most cases it's better to use `subcribe` inside the [`connect`](connect).
|
|
|
|
##### Arguments
|
|
|
|
- `onMessage` _Function_ to call when there's an action from the monitor.
|
|
- `instanceId` _String_ - instance id for which to handle actions.
|
|
|
|
<a id="open"></a>
|
|
|
|
### open([position])
|
|
|
|
Open the extension's window. This should be conditional (usually you don't need to open extension's window automatically).
|
|
|
|
##### Arguments
|
|
|
|
- [`position`] _String_ - window position: `left`, `right`, `bottom`. Also can be `panel` to [open it in a Chrome panel](../FAQ.md#how-to-keep-devtools-window-focused-all-the-time-in-a-chrome-panel). Or `remote` to [open remote monitor](../FAQ.md#how-to-get-it-work-with-webworkers-react-native-hybrid-desktop-and-server-side-apps). By default is `left`.
|
|
|
|
<a id="notifyErrors"></a>
|
|
|
|
### notifyErrors([onError])
|
|
|
|
When called, the extension will listen for uncaught exceptions on the page, and, if any, will show native notifications. Optionally, you can provide a function to be called when an exception occurs.
|
|
|
|
##### Arguments
|
|
|
|
- [`onError`] _Function_ to call when there's an exceptions.
