What are vite-plugin-vue-inspector's main functionalities?

Component Inspection

This feature allows developers to inspect Vue components directly in the browser. By integrating the plugin into the Vite configuration, developers can click on components in the browser to see their details, such as props, data, and events.

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue';
import VueInspector from 'vite-plugin-vue-inspector';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [vue(), VueInspector()]
});

Hot Module Replacement (HMR)

This feature enables Hot Module Replacement (HMR) for Vue components. When changes are made to a component, the inspector updates in real-time without requiring a full page reload, making the development process faster and more efficient.

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue';
import VueInspector from 'vite-plugin-vue-inspector';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [vue(), VueInspector({
    hot: true
  })]
});

Customizable Shortcuts

This feature allows developers to customize the keyboard shortcuts used to toggle the inspector and close it. This can be particularly useful for developers who have specific preferences or need to avoid conflicts with other tools.

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue';
import VueInspector from 'vite-plugin-vue-inspector';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [vue(), VueInspector({
    shortcuts: {
      toggle: 'ctrl-shift-i',
      close: 'esc'
    }
  })]
});
