Responsively-app: [Feature Suggestion] Vue DevTools support

Created on 19 Jun 2020  路  5Comments  路  Source: responsively-org/responsively-app

It would be awesome to have the ability to install the Vue DevTools extension, it is provided as a Chrome extension so it should be possible to allow it.

Thank you

If this kind of feature is possible, there are a lot of chrome extensions useful for devs, not only Vue's one..

I would think the extensions would need to be vetted before added, so adding the DevTools for the 3 or 4 major frontend frameworks seems like a good start.

@tochoromero This is a great suggestion. 馃帀

We already use electron-devtools-installer package to install the react dev tools extension. It takes the chrome store extension id and installs the extension.

So we can keep this a generic option to install any extension by giving the chrome store URL/extension ID.
This way it will be more flexible at the same time the users will have control over the extension that they want to install.

I can work on this if you'd like

@RomainFrancony That would be great. 馃帀

More details on the functionality:

  1. Add a Menu option called Manage Extensions.
  2. Click on it can open a Popup window. This popup can have the following details:

    • A button to add new extension. This will take either a chrome store extension ID or URL and install the extension using the electron-devtools-installer package.

    • A list of already installed extensions

    • An option to delete an installed extension.

So excited to see this working. Please let me know if you want to discuss the UI/UX details. We can always do it on https://gitter.im/responsively-app/.

Shall assign it to you?
