React Render Debugger

A visual way to see what is (re)rendering and why.

Decorator/higher-order function version ported from https://github.com/redsunsoft/react-render-visualizer

Learn more about the experimental decorator syntax.

Features

• Shows when component is being mounted or updated by highlighting (red for mount, yellow for update)
• Shows render count for each component instance
• Shows individual render log for each component instance

Installation

npm install react-render-debugger

Usage

Import and apply to any React component you want to start monitoring:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import debugRender from 'react-render-debugger';

// Use with the decorator syntax (experimental)
@debugRender
class DecoratedComponent extends Component {
    render () {
        // ...
    }
}

// Or simply passing the component to the function
class PlainComponent extends Component {
    render () {
        // ...
    }
}

const WrappedPlainComponent = debugRender(PlainCompoent);

Component will show up with a blue border box when being monitored.
