Extension summary

Analyze keywords

As React applications scale, it becomes more difficult to track state and to have a holistic overview of the component hierarchy. Realize is a tool to help developers visualize the structure and state flow of their React applications, especially when they are growing in scale and complexity. It currently supports React v.16.8.

Once installed, navigate to your React website
Open the dev tools window and click on the Realize panel
Trigger a state change to populate the component tree

Functionality:

Utilize the search bar to search for any component that exists in the tree.
Clicking a node component will display information about state, children, props, and hooks in the right hand panel.

As reported by others, the page did freeze after rendering a small portion of the react hierarchy one time. I couldn't unmount and remount new applications after this extension was installed. Uninstalled it to restore my functionality.
