This adds a "Code Editor" pane for the Chrome extension in the bottom right corner of the "Sources" panel. If you end up getting linked to the "Sources" panel from stack traces in console, performance tab, stacks in React Component tab like the one added in #33954 basically everywhere there's a link to source code. Then going from there to open in a code editor should be more convenient. This adds a button to open the current file. <img width="1387" height="389" alt="Screenshot 2025-07-22 at 10 22 19 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fe01f84c-83c2-4639-9b64-4af1a90c3f7d" /> This only makes sense in the extensions since in standalone it needs to always open by default in an editor. Unfortunately Firefox doesn't support extending the Sources panel. Chrome is also a bit buggy where it doesn't send a selection update event when you switch tabs in the Sources panel. Only when the actual cursor position changes. This means that the link can be lagging behind sometimes. We also have some general bugs where if React DevTools loses connection it can break the UI which includes this pane too. This has a small inline configuration too so that it's discoverable: <img width="559" height="143" alt="Screenshot 2025-07-22 at 10 22 42 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1270bda8-ce10-4f9d-9fcb-080c0198366a" /> <img width="527" height="123" alt="Screenshot 2025-07-22 at 10 22 30 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/45848c95-afd8-495f-a7cf-eb2f46e698f2" /> Since we can't add a separate link to open-in-editor or open-in-sources everywhere I plan on adding an option to open in editor by default in a follow up. That option needs to be even more discoverable. I moved the configuration from the Components settings to the General settings since this is now a much more general features for opening links to resources in all types of panes. <img width="673" height="311" alt="Screenshot 2025-07-22 at 10 22 57 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ea2c0871-942c-4b55-a362-025835d2c2bd" />
This is the source code for the React DevTools browser extension.
Installation
The easiest way to install this extension is as a browser add-on:
Local development
You can also build and install this extension from source.
Prerequisite steps
DevTools depends on local versions of several NPM packages1 also in this workspace. You'll need to either build or download those packages first.
1 Note that at this time, an experimental build is required because DevTools depends on the createRoot API.
To install all necessary dependencies, run the following command from the root of the repository:
yarn install
Build from source
To build dependencies from source, run the following command from the root of the repository:
yarn build-for-devtools
Download from CI
To use the latest build from CI, run the following commands starting from the root of the repository:
cd scripts/release
yarn install
./download-experimental-build.js
Build steps
Once the above packages have been built or downloaded, you can build the extension by running:
cd packages/react-devtools-extensions/
yarn build:chrome # => packages/react-devtools-extensions/chrome/build
yarn run test:chrome # Test Chrome extension
yarn build:firefox # => packages/react-devtools-extensions/firefox/build
yarn run test:firefox # Test Firefox extension
yarn build:edge # => packages/react-devtools-extensions/edge/build
yarn run test:edge # Test Edge extension
