React dev tools in CEF?

Question

I'm building a react app to run in a CEF frame.

Is there any way to use react dev tools with CEF? I don't need to ship the tools with the app, purely for my own dev usage.

Answer 1

As an alternative (and in my opinion the best approach), develop your React app separately from the .Net/CEF app, then debug from the Chrome browser installed in your machine (from which you can install the React dev tools, if you haven't).

If you're self hosting your web api from the CEF app, it can become finicky sometimes (CORS, etc.), but should be pretty easy to get around with.
