Akita: DevTools with React Native setup

Current behavior

I build a sample application in ReactNative that mimics the behaviour outlined in this blogpost
https://engineering.datorama.com/oop-and-rxjs-managing-state-in-react-with-akita-de981e09307

I can add one item and my query properly downstreams the change, for some reason adding another item doesn't work. It just doesn't show up in the UI and I can see that the query isn't triggered at all.

I wanted to debug this problem by adding akita-ngdevtools, but I'm kinda stuck there. After intializing it in my App.tsx and starting a remote debugging session in my iOS simulator, I was expecting to see results in Chrome when debugging my application.

That's not the case, help very much appreciated.

Expected behavior

That I can somehow debug the React Native application and it's store.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

I can zip a sample project if that's needed.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

I'm not familiar with Reactive native. Can you share the code that doesn't work for you, please?

[gekitz]

I got the code to work, store updates properly now, thanks for coming back to me so quickly.

The remaining question would be on how to use akita-ngdevtools with it, but I guess since you're not familiar with ReactNative you won't be able to help.

[NetanelBasal]

I guess it should be the same as using Redux dev-tools. We are using the same underline library.

[gekitz]

That was my assumption too, interestingly it can't find a store when I open Redux Devtools in Chrome.

[NetanelBasal]

Can you save me some time and provide me with instructions to upload the app and investigate, please?

[gekitz]

I uploaded a sample project, you can get it from
https://github.com/gekitz/react-native-akita-todo-sample

Is there anything else I can assist you with?

[NetanelBasal]

I will check it on Sunday, thanks.

I have followed this article, and it works.

- brew update && brew cask install react-native-debugger
- open "rndebugger://set-debugger-loc?host=localhost&port=8081"
- cmd + d and Allow Remote JS Debugging

Awesome, thank you so much for your help. Seems like I used the wrong debugger 😞
