Ease-to-use React tool for debugging redundant re-renders

Motivation

Trying to minimize the number of re-renders in our components using PureComponent or React.memo, developers spend a lot of time debugging redundant re-renders

react-updates is designed to simplify this process

Installation

npm i --save-dev react-updates
# or using yarn
yarn add --dev react-updates

OR using UMD build (exports a global ReactUpdates object)

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/react-updates/dist/react-updates.min.js"></script>

Getting started

// src/index.js
import { setDebuggerSettings } from 'react-updates';

setDebuggerSettings({
  disabled: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production',
});
import { useDebugger } from 'react-updates';

const View = React.memo((props) => {
  useDebugger('View', props);
  return <div style={props.styles}>{props.content}</div>;
});

const App = () => {
  const [, setValue] = useState('');
  return (
    <div>
      <input onChange={(e) => setValue(e.target.value)} />
      <View
        // < ❗ > causes re-rendering
        styles={{ width: '100%', display: 'flex' }}
        content="Example use react-updates"
      />
    </div>
  );
};

Using a class component

import { debugComponentUpdate } from 'react-updates';

class View extends PureComponent {
  componentDidUpdate(prevProps) {
    debugComponentUpdate(View, prevProps, this.props);
  }
  // ...
}
