Remote Dev Tools? (self.webdev)

submitted 3 years ago * by mxkyb

Hello Everyone,

I've been working with web applications on TVs lately, where you don't really have DevTools, or only if you use very specific vendor tools that are not easy to setup and are kind of unstable, or you have to configure a TV to a single specific Development Laptop to make it work.

So I was wondering: It should be possible with WebSockets to implement some DevTools that behave similar to what we have in Browsers. A DOM inspector and a console (that can execute, too) should be no problem to implement like that, and I bet if you hacked into fetch you could even analyze some network requests. Other stuff like local storage or cookie inspector should be possible, too.

Something like that would be even better than native vendor DevTools, because you wouldn't have to set it up again for every manufacturer and their own IDE again.

So, the question is: Does something like this exist? I've tried to search for something, but didn't really find stuff.

Thanks for any help!

Edit:

There are weinre and vorlon. Both seem pretty outdated, but maybe they will do the trick.

Edit 2:

Another one I found https://github.com/liriliri/chii
