Speed Up Your Development with LocatorJs
LocatorJS is a browser extension that lets users click on any component in the browser and view it in their editor. This will speed up the development and make it easier to debug and develop.
Setup
LocatorJS supports React (data-id and devtools approaches) as well as SolidJS, Preact and they're working on Svelte and Vue which you can experiement now.
VueJs Installation
Install the browser extension (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Firefox) OR Install Locator as a package to your project.
pnpm add -D @locator/runtime
Add this to main.js:
import setupLocatorUI from "@locator/runtime";
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "development") {
setupLocatorUI({
adapter: "vue",
});
}
Usage
Now, all we need to do is open our browser and hold Alt
or Option
while moving the cursor to check all the components and elements. Click on the component you want to take you to the editor!
Happy Coding!
