This is an example of using the devtools outside of chrome/firefox/etc. In
order to simulate the same network restrictions found in a plugin environment,
the inspection target is within an iframe, and communication is done via
.postMessage.
You have to run ./build.sh (or ./build.sh --watch) to be able to run this. Then
open index.html.
Here's an overview of how things work:
- the devtools ui loads
- an iframe is created, and the global (
__REACT_DEVTOOLS_GLOBAL_HOOK__) is setup. - the inspection target script is added to the iframe (from
/test/example/) - the devtools backend is added to the iframe
And yes, you can use this to inspect the inspector :) but remember to enable file access for your browser's react-devtools extension.
