A time travelling, component monitoring devtool/Chrome Extension for Svelte developers.

Overview

Canopy is an innovative debugging tool designed specifically for Svelte developers, offering a streamlined interface within the Chrome DevTools panel. This extension allows developers to better manage and analyze their Svelte applications by providing real-time insights into the app's components and state changes. With Canopy, users can significantly enhance their debugging process, making it easier to identify issues and optimize performance.

By utilizing two main features, the dynamically-updating component visualizer and the time-traveling state tracker, Canopy empowers developers to observe their app's behavior more effectively. From visualizing the component hierarchy to snapshotting state changes, Canopy is an essential tool for anyone involved in Svelte development.

Features

  • Dynamically-Updating Component Visualizer: Instantly view all rendered Svelte components and watch as the visualizer updates in real time with the creation and destruction of components.

  • Time-Traveling State Tracker: Keeps track of all state values and allows you to revisit previous states with snapshots taken automatically upon each state change.

  • Easy Setup: Although not yet available in the Chrome Extension store, Canopy can be easily cloned and loaded into Chrome for immediate use in development mode.

  • Interactive Interface: Navigate through the app's components and states with an intuitive interface that simplifies the debugging process.

  • Component Hierarchy Display: Gain insights into the structure of your Svelte components through a tree-like visualization, making it easier to understand the relationships between different components.

  • Snapshot Functionality: Quickly revert to previous states of your application with a single click, allowing for effortless debugging and state management.

  • Compatibility with Svelte Projects: Seamlessly integrates with Svelte apps, making it a valuable addition for any Svelte developer looking to enhance their workflow.
