Remote Redux DevTools

Use Redux DevTools remotely for React Native, hybrid, desktop and server side Redux apps.

Installation

npm install --save-dev remote-redux-devtools

Usage

Just add our store enhancer to your store:

`store/configureStore.js`

import { createStore, applyMiddleware, compose } from 'redux';
import thunk from 'redux-thunk';
import devTools from 'remote-redux-devtools';
import reducer from '../reducers';

export default function configureStore(initialState) {
  const finalCreateStore = compose(
    applyMiddleware(thunk),
    devTools()
  )(createStore);

  const store = finalCreateStore(reducer, initialState);

  return store;
}

Remote monitoring

Use one of our monitor apps to inspect and redo actions:

web
chrome app (recommended)
electron app.

The source code is here.

Also, it can be used in React Native debugger as a dock monitor.

Communicate via local server

In order to make it simple to use, by default, the module and the monitor app communicate via remotedev.io server. Use remotedev-server cli to run it locally in order to make the connection faster and not to require an internet connection.

Parameters

Name	Description
`name`	Instance name to be showed in the app.
`hostname`	If `port` is specified, default value is `localhost`.
`port`	Local host's port.

All props are optional. You have to provide at least port property to use localhost instead of remotedev.io server.

Example:

export default function configureStore(initialState) {
  const finalCreateStore = compose(
    devTools({ hostname: 'localhost', port: 8000, name: 'Android app' })
  )(createStore);

  const store = finalCreateStore(rootReducer, initialState);
  return store;
}

Examples

Web
React Native.

Limitations

Use it only for development, NOT in production!
The app and the monitor should be under the same external IP address.
For web apps it's easier and way faster to use Chrome extension instead. The remote monitoring is meant to be used for React Native, hybrid, desktop and server side apps.
