[AngularJS NG-redux] Integrate Redux Devtools

In this lesson, we are going to learn how to integrate Redux Devtools into our Angular application.

Redux Devtools is a live-editing time travel environment for Redux. Devtools boasts a list of awesome features but my two favorite ones are that we can inspect every state and action as it happens and we can go back in time by “cancelling” actions.

This is going to be an interesting lesson because, in order for this to work, we are going to need to make something that was written for React work in Angular. For the most part, everything will play side by side with one small trick that we will pull off at the end to force an Angular digest cycle when React manipulates the application store.

 

Install:

npm install --save-dev bable-preset-react
npm install --save react react-dom redux-devtools redux-devtools-dock-monitor redux-devtools-log-monitor

 

app.js:

Import:

import React, {Component} from 'react';
import ReactDom from 'react-dom';
import {createDevTools} from 'redux-devtools';
import LogMonitor from 'redux-devtools-log-monitor';
import DockMonitor from 'redux-devtools-dock-monitor';

 

const DevTools = createDevTools(
  <DockMonitor toggleVisibilityKey='ctrl-h'
changePositionKey='ctrl-q'
defaultIsVisible={false}>
  <LogMonitor theme='tomorrow' />
  </DockMonitor>
);

const run = ($ngRedux, $rootScope) => {
  'ngInject';

  const componentDidUpdate = DockMonitor.prototype.componentDidUpdate;
  DockMonitor.prototype.componentDidUpdate = function() {
    $rootScope.$evalAsync();
    if (componentDidUpdate) {
      return componentDidUpdate.apply(this, arguments);
    }
  };

  ReactDom.render(
  <DevTools store={$ngRedux}/>,
    document.getElementById('devTools')
  );
};

const config = $ngReduxProvider => {
  'ngInject';
  $ngReduxProvider.createStoreWith(rootReducers, [thunk], [DevTools.instrument()]);
};
