Offirmo’s Universal Web Dev Tool: Convenient Dev and Debug Features for JavaScript Code
Offirmo’s Universal Web Dev Tool is a developer tool designed specifically for web app developers. It offers convenient development and debugging features for JavaScript code. This free Chrome extension is a companion to Offirmo’s Universal Debug API, which is used to control the extension through a user interface.
With Offirmo’s Universal Web Dev Tool, developers can easily add and control loggers with controllable log levels, override local variables, and use debug commands (in alpha). The extension also provides the ability to expose internal data, giving developers deeper insights into their code.
To use Offirmo’s Universal Web Dev Tool, developers need to include and use Offirmo’s Universal Debug API in their source code. However, this comes at nearly no cost as only a small "placeholder" version of the API needs to be bundled and used. When the extension is active, the placeholder version is dynamically replaced by an active version served by the extension, without requiring any complex setup.
Overall, Offirmo’s Universal Web Dev Tool is a valuable tool for web developers writing complex or semi-complex JavaScript. It provides essential features for debugging and monitoring code, making the development process more efficient and manageable.
