RxJS DevTools for debugging streams

This extension allows you to debug your RxJS stream emissions by hooking into the rxjs-spy debugging library.

The project was inspired by rxjs-spy-devtools.

How to use in your app

1. Install the chrome extension
2. Set up rxjs-spy-devtools-plugin in your app and tag the streams that you wish to inspect in the devtools.

Structure & Philosophy

The repo is split into three packages:

• packages/rxjs-spy-devtools-plugin: plugin for rxjs-spy that sends info about stream emissions to the dev tools extension
• packages/extension: chrome extension for the devtools
• packages/shared: shared types, interfaces and utils for communication between the rxjs-spy plugin and the extension

Although the extension currently depends on rxjs-spy-devtools-plugin to receive info about stream emissions. In theory this repository can be extended with another plugin that sends info about stream emissions in a different manner.
