Cannot get it to work with React Portals that render to child windows

Open stil opened this issue 10 months ago • 3 comments

I have React Portals that render into separate windows, however react-scan is not detecting changes except for parent window.

See attached example: https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/6tjkd4

Can you advise if it would be possible to make react-scan work in child windows?

Well technically it is a separate window so that other window should also include its own react-scan instance.

Currently react-scan only "scans" the window it is mounted on.

Would you be able to provide an example on forked codesandbox?

I'm unsure how would that work if the child window has no

yeah the difficulty of mounting it might be an issue. I'll keep this issue open while I look for solution myself.
