What is reactotron-react-native?

Reactotron is a desktop app for inspecting and debugging your React Native applications. It provides a range of features to help developers monitor and debug their applications in real-time.

What are reactotron-react-native's main functionalities?

Logging

Reactotron allows you to log messages from your React Native app to the Reactotron desktop app. This can be useful for debugging and monitoring the state of your application.

import Reactotron from 'reactotron-react-native';

Reactotron.log('Hello, world!');

State Monitoring

You can track the state of your application in real-time. This feature helps you understand how your state changes over time and can be invaluable for debugging state-related issues.

import Reactotron from 'reactotron-react-native';

Reactotron.trackState();

API Monitoring

Reactotron can monitor API requests made using the Apisauce library. This allows you to see the details of each request and response, making it easier to debug network issues.

import Reactotron from 'reactotron-react-native';

Reactotron.apisauce(apiInstance);

Image Overlay

This feature allows you to overlay images on your app, which can be useful for design and layout debugging.

import Reactotron from 'reactotron-react-native';

Reactotron.overlay();

Performance Monitoring

You can benchmark specific parts of your code to measure performance. This helps in identifying performance bottlenecks in your application.

import Reactotron from 'reactotron-react-native';

Reactotron.benchmark(() => {
  // code to benchmark
});
