remoteredux-standalone

A standalone monitor, debugging redux even without internet. Bridge for communicating with an application remotely via Remote Redux DevTools. Based on remotedev-server.

Installation

Install the package globally just run:

$ npm install -g remoteredux-standalone

for macOS/linux

$ sudo npm install -g remoteredux-standalone --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root

Or install in package.json

$ npm install remoteredux-standalone --save-dev

Usage

Run remoteredux globally from the terminal to launch the standalone app:

$ remoteredux

Run remoteredux by npm script (if you didn't install globally):

Add in your app's package.json:

"scripts": {
  "remoteredux": "remoteredux --hostname=localhost --port=8000"
}

Then run remoteredux from the terminal

$ npm run remoteredux

Or run in your server.js script for starting a development server:

var remoteredux = require('remoteredux-standalone');
remoteredux({ hostname: 'localhost', port: 8000 });

This server.js will start remoteredux together with your dev server without electron interface, you will have to use your own browser go into your host address.

Connection settings

Set hostname and port to the values you want. hostname by default is localhost and port is 8000.

To use WSS, set protocol argument to https and provide key, cert and passphrase arguments.

$ remoteredux --hostname=localhost --port=8000

Inject to React Native local server

Add in your React Native app's package.json:

"scripts": {
  "remoteredux": "remoteredux --hostname=localhost --port=8000 --injectserver=reactnative"
}

The injectserver value can be reactnative or macos (react-native-macos), it used reactnative by default.

Then, we can start React Native server and RemoteDev server with one command (npm start).

Revert the injection

Add in your React Native app's package.json:

"scripts": {
  "remoteredux-revert": "remoteredux --revert=reactnative"
}

Connect from Android device or emulator

Note that if you're using injectserver argument explained above, this step is not necessary.

If you're running an Android 5.0+ device connected via USB or an Android emulator, use adb command line tool to setup port forwarding from the device to your computer:

adb reverse tcp:8000 tcp:8000

If you're still use Android 4.0, you should use 10.0.2.2 (Genymotion: 10.0.3.2) instead of localhost in remote-redux-devtools or remotedev.

Save reports and logs

You can store reports via redux-remotedev and get them replicated with Redux DevTools extension or Remote Redux DevTools. You can get action history right in the extension just by clicking the link from a report.

Remotedev server is database agnostic. By default everything is stored in the memory, but you can persist data by specifying one of the jsData adapters above for adapter argument. Also you can add an dbOptions argument for database configuration. If not provided the default options will be used (for some adapters, like sql, it's required). You have to install the required adapter's npm package.
