Svelte DevTools

Install from the Firefox addon page or the Chrome addon page

Svelte devtools is actively maintained. If you have any problems or feature requests feel free to create an issue.

Svelte Devtools is a Firefox and Chrome extension for the Svelte javascript framework. It allows you to inspect the Svelte state and component hierarchies in the Developer Tools.

After installing you will see a new tab in Developer Tools. This tab displays a tree of Svelte components, HTMLx blocks, and DOM elements that were rendered on the page. By selecting one of the nodes in the tree, you can inspect and edit its current state in the panel to the right.

Requires svelte version 3.12.0 or above

Enabling dev mode

In order for svelte-devtools to comunicate with your application bundle the svelte compiler must have the dev option set to true.

Template

By default the svelte template will set dev: true when running npm run dev and false otherwise.

Rollup

Below is a minimalist rollup config with dev: true set.

// rollup.config.js
import * as fs from 'fs';
import svelte from 'rollup-plugin-svelte';

export default {
  input: 'src/main.js',
  output: {
    file: 'public/bundle.js',
    format: 'iife'
  },
  plugins: [
    svelte({
      compilerOptions: {
        dev: true
      }
    })
  ]
}

Webpack

Below is the relevant snipet from a webpack.config.js with dev: true set.

  ...
  module: {
    rules: [
      ...
      {
        test: /\.(html|svelte)$/,
        exclude: /node_modules/,
        use: {
          loader: 'svelte-loader',
          options: {
            compilerOptions: {
              dev: true,
            }
          },
        },
      },
      ...
    ]
  },
  ...
