+# `react-devtools-inline`
+
+React DevTools implementation for embedding within a browser-based IDE (e.g. [CodeSandbox](https://codesandbox.io/), [StackBlitz](https://stackblitz.com/)).
+
+This is a low-level package. If you're looking for the standalone DevTools app, **use the `react-devtools` package instead.**
+
+## Usage
+
+This package exports two entry points: a frontend (to be run in the main `window`) and a backend (to be installed and run within an `iframe`<sup>1</sup>).
+
+The frontend and backend can be initialized in any order, but **the backend must not be activated until after the frontend has been initialized**. Because of this, the simplest sequence is:
+
+1. Frontend (DevTools interface) initialized in the main `window`.
+1. Backend initialized in an `iframe`.
+1. Backend activated.
+
+<sup>1</sup> Sandboxed iframes are supported.
+
+## API
+
+### `react-devtools-inline/backend`
+
+* **`initialize(contentWindow)`** -
+Installs the global hook on the window. This hook is how React and DevTools communicate. **This method must be called before React is loaded.** (This means before any `import` or `require` statements!)
+* **`activate(contentWindow)`** -
+Lets the backend know when the frontend is ready. It should not be called until after the frontend has been initialized, else the frontend might miss important tree-initialization events.
+
+```js
+import { activate, initialize } from 'react-devtools-inline/backend';
+
+// Call this before importing React (or any other packages that might import React).
+initialize();
+
+// Call this only once the frontend has been initialized.
+activate();
+```
+
+### `react-devtools-inline/frontend`
+
+* **`initialize(contentWindow)`** -
+Configures the DevTools interface to listen to the `window` the backend was injected into. This method returns a React component that can be rendered directly.
+
+```js
+import { initialize } from 'react-devtools-inline/frontend';
+
+// This should be the iframe the backend hook has been installed in.
+const iframe = document.getElementById(frameID);
+const contentWindow = iframe.contentWindow;
+
+// This returns a React component that can be rendered into your app.
+// <DevTools {...props} />
+const DevTools = initialize(contentWindow);
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Configuring a same-origin `iframe`
+
+The simplest way to use this package is to install the hook from the parent `window`. This is possible if the `iframe` is not sandboxed and there are no cross-origin restrictions.
+
+```js
+import {
+  activate as activateBackend,
+  initialize as initializeBackend
+} from 'react-devtools-inline/backend';
+import { initialize as initializeFrontend } from 'react-devtools-inline/frontend';
+
+// The React app you want to inspect with DevTools is running within this iframe:
+const iframe = document.getElementById('target');
+const { contentWindow } = iframe;
+
+// Installs the global hook into the iframe.
+// This be called before React is loaded into that frame.
+initializeBackend(contentWindow);
+
+// React application can be injected into <iframe> at any time now...
+
+// Initialize DevTools UI to listen to the hook we just installed.
+// This returns a React component we can render anywhere in the parent window.
+const DevTools = initializeFrontend(contentWindow);
+
+// <DevTools /> interface can be rendered in the parent window at any time now...
+
+// Let the backend know the frontend is ready and listening.
+activateBackend(contentWindow);
+```
+
+### Configuring a sandboxed `iframe`
+
+Sandboxed `iframe`s are also supported but require more complex initialization.
+
+**`iframe.html`**
+```js
+import { activate, initialize } from 'react-devtools-inline/backend';
+
+// The DevTooks hook needs to be installed before React is even required!
+// The safest way to do this is probably to install it in a separate script tag.
+initialize(window);
+
+// Wait for the frontend to let us know that it's ready.
+window.addEventListener('message', ({ data }) => {
+  switch (data.type) {
+    case 'activate':
+      activate(window);
+      break;
+    default:
+      break;
+  }
+});
+```
+
+**`main-window.html`**
+```js
+import { initialize } from 'react-devtools-inline/frontend';
+
+const iframe = document.getElementById('target');
+const { contentWindow } = iframe;
+
+// Initialize DevTools UI to listen to the iframe.
+// This returns a React component we can render anywhere in the main window.
+const DevTools = initialize(contentWindow);
+
+// Let the backend know to initialize itself.
+// We can't do this directly because the iframe is sandboxed.
+// Only initialize the backend once the DevTools frontend has been initialized.
+iframe.onload = () => {
+  contentWindow.postMessage(
+    {
+      type: 'activate',
+    },
+    '*'
+  );
+};
+```
