Jotai Devtools

About

Redux Devtools integration for Jotai. This library only supports the Redux Devtools browser extensions (Chrome, Edge and Firefox). It does not currently support the standalone app or the embedded component.

Installation

NPM Package is coming soon. In the meantime, use the following to install:

yarn add https://github.com/c0d3t3k/jotai-devtools.git

How to use

The Jotai Devtools library creates devtools integration instances on an atom by atom basis. To create a devtools instance, two parameters are required:

{
    // The display name for the atom
    name: "Count Atom (Hook)",

    // The atom to be mapped to a devtools instance
    atom: countAtom,
}

Also see the Dev.to Article, Sample Code and CodeSandBox

The library provides two methods to enable a devtools instance:

Hook Method

import React from 'react'

import { useAtom, atom } from 'jotai'
import { useJotaiDevtools, JotaiDevtools } from '@c0d3t3k/jotai-devtools'

// The atom to be monitored by the devtools.
const countAtom = atom(0)

const App: React.FC = () => {

    const [count, setCount] = useAtom(countAtom)

    // This hook maps the "Count Atom (Hook)" devtools instance to `countAtom`.
    useJotaiDevtools({
        name: "Count Atom (Hook)",
        atom: countAtom
    });

    // Some functions to modify `countAtom`
    const increment = () => {
        setCount(count + 1);
    }

    const decrement = () => {
        setCount(count - 1);
    }

    // The React component tree.
    return (
        <>
            <div>
                <h1>Count is {count}</h1>
                <button onClick={increment}>Increment Count</button>
                <button onClick={decrement}>Decrement Count</button>
            </div>
        </>
    )
}

Component Method

import React from 'react'

import { useAtom, atom } from 'jotai'
import { useJotaiDevtools, JotaiDevtools } from '@c0d3t3k/jotai-devtools'

// The atom to be monitored by the devtools.
const countAtom = atom(0)

const App: React.FC = () => {

    const [count, setCount] = useAtom(countAtom)

    // Some functions to modify `countAtom`
    const increment = () => {
        setCount(count + 1);
    }

    const decrement = () => {
        setCount(count - 1);
    }

    // The React component tree.
    return (
        <>
            {/* This component maps the "Count Atom (Component)" devtools instance to `countAtom`. */}
            <JotaiDevtools atom={countAtom} name="Count Atom (Component)"/>

            <div>
                <h1>Count is {count}</h1>
                <button onClick={increment}>Increment Count</button>
                <button onClick={decrement}>Decrement Count</button>
            </div>
        </>
    )
}
