Question 1

How to add custom tabs to redux-devtools-inspector?

Accepted Answer

You can pass a function or array to the tabs prop, as shown in the README. For example, use defaultTabs => [...defaultTabs, { name: 'My Tab', component: MyTab }] to extend the default tabs with your own components, referencing ActionPreview.jsx for props.

Question 2

redux-devtools-inspector vs Redux DevTools extension: which is better?

Accepted Answer

redux-devtools-inspector offers more specialized features like state pinning and custom tabs, making it better for in-depth debugging in complex apps. However, the Redux DevTools browser extension is simpler to set up and sufficient for most basic use cases without additional configuration.

Question 3

Does redux-devtools-inspector work with Redux Toolkit?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it can be integrated with Redux Toolkit applications by setting up Redux DevTools as usual. However, Redux Toolkit has its own DevTools configuration, so you might need to adjust the setup to use this inspector monitor instead of the default.

Question 4

How to handle large state objects to avoid performance issues?

Accepted Answer

The README warns that enabling supportImmutable can impact performance with huge objects. To mitigate, avoid pinning or diffing large state sections unnecessarily, and consider using diffPropertyFilter to ignore non-essential props in diffs.

Question 5

Can I use redux-devtools-inspector for server-side rendering?

Accepted Answer

No, it's designed for client-side debugging with Redux DevTools, which typically aren't active in server-side environments. For SSR, you'd need alternative logging methods, as DevTools monitors require a browser context.

Question 6

How to theme redux-devtools-inspector for dark mode?

Accepted Answer

Use the theme prop with a base16 theme name or custom object, and set invertTheme to true for automatic luminance inversion. For example, specify theme: 'dark' or provide a custom style object, as detailed in the props section.
