PouchDB inspector extension on chrome store gone (August 2017)

Tags:

pouchdb

I had been working with pouchdb for 3 months now. Everything was working for the past 2 months until this august somehow the pouchdb inspector no longer display data on fauxton ui (that's what it was called i think) and is just showing the spinner icon. I decided to uninstall the plugin and to reinstall it again only to find that it was no longer available on the chrome store. I tried using another PC with the pouchDB still installed and it was also showing the same spinner icon(not displaying any data). I search the web looking for any news but found nothing. Even the link from https://pouchdb.com/guides/databases.html to download plugin was no longer working.Can someone actually verify this?

A recent change in Chrome broke the extension and since it is unmaintained, it has been unpublished as an extension. I'm taking this info from https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb-fauxton-chrome-extension/issues/17. It is an open source project if anyone wants to pick it up.

What a negative answer, sorry :(

I know it's not the same thing, but if you use WebSQL or IndexedDB, You can use normal developer tools provided by Chrome, going to Application/Storage and then look at data in your DB. It is also explained in the official PouchDB documentation at https://pouchdb.com/guides/databases.html
