How can I add debug functions that I can call from Chrome Debugger Console to a Create React App?

Question

I created an app with Create React App.

How can I add global debug functions (e.g. resetDatabase()) that I can call from Chromes Debug Console (or some other way)?

Answer 1

You can attach the function to the global window object, or some namespaced object.

Then in the console you can run it with:

window.resetDatabase();

Here’s a link to a relevant post about accessing the global context through the componentWillMount callback.
