vue-devtools

Important Usage Notes

1. If the page uses a production/minified build of Vue.js, devtools inspection is disabled by default so the Vue pane won't show up.

2. To make it work for pages opened via file:// protocol, you need to check "Allow access to file URLs" for this extension in Chrome's extension management panel.

Works with vuex for time-travel debugging:

Installation

• Get the Chrome Extension (beta)

• Get the Firefox Addon (beta)

• Get standalone Electron app (works with any environment!)

Open component in editor

To enable this feature, follow this guide.

   When using Yarn, just replace npm with yarn.

Common problems and how to fix

1. Fixing "Download the Vue Devtools for a better development experience" console message when working locally over file:// protocol: 1.1 - Google Chrome: Right click on vue-devtools icon and click "Manage Extensions" then search for vue-devtools on the extensions list. Check the "Allow access to file URLs" box.
