Reviews of vue.js devtools:
Love. Very easy to use with pinia.
very very cpu load when open the vue devtools (on mac m1)
does it work for vue 2?
They removed vuex support
Hi, We are planning to use this extension for our organization and would be helpful if I have some information related to security/privacy. Could you provide some details related security/privacy, for example how data is collected, stored or used ?
Been using it with Vue2, works extremely well. Also works with Vue3 but haven't tried it for long though.
it just does not work since vue 3 came out, really buggy and slow, it's not usable
Everything worked fine, until last week. IDK if it was a chrome update, or an Ubuntu update. but since then the extension make my gui flicker and buggy. the moment i removed it the bugs stopped. please comment or something so i know im not the only one. Chrome Version 107.0.5304.110 (Official Build) (64-bit) Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
Kinda buggy. Sometimes changes in code are not reflected in the tool, e.g. I just added a prop to a component and the tool did not show it when inspecting the component. Closing and reopening the tab and the tool made the tool detect the change. It made me think my code was faulty when it wasn't...
reactive() variables does not show up in devtools -_-
Stopped working after a recent update, Pinia cannot be loaded and extension gives the error: TypeError: Failed to execute 'observe' on 'MutationObserver': parameter 1 is not of type 'Node' at connectBridge on backend.js
Pinia gets reinitiated endlessly in the new update released on 27th of Sept
great tool for vue debugging
i like it but there still a bug
Crashes all the time. Cannot use it for about a year now.
They removed the option of time travel debugging and debugging mutations / payload. this sucks.
Im new to Vue JS and they tutorial are really awesome along with this extensions. Ty
This extension is great! It's really useful for my use case because since I don't have a good debugging/logging habit, easily being able to change and read ref & variable values is really helpful.
Amazing Tool
This is a very great tool for debugging. I use it almost everyday.
Basically does not work. The pervious version worked fine this one is terrible. All in bugs and bad UI and UX
Super comfortable to use. I love it!
Pile of fail
It's incredibly disappointing how unreliable it is. When it works it's actually very helpful, but it works once every full moon so using it consistently is not an option. Sad, I would love to use this when developing but it's more trouble than it's worth :(
They removed vuex support
Please fix this extension. It's impossible to use if it's always crashing. It's great when it's working but it's not working more than it is at the moment.
Keeps crashing / unusable since the latest update.
buggy, will give better review when it gets better again
the worsk update evet... i cant use it as i used to
If you work with vue2 this tool become unusable. Stick with the https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/vuejs-devtools/iaajmlceplecbljialhhkmedjlpdblhp/related as Nick Swider (NS) mentioned.
The new v6 update made the tools useless for me while working on a Vue2 app, but I found that they republished the v5 version, so I'm back in business! https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/vuejs-devtools/iaajmlceplecbljialhhkmedjlpdblhp/related
old version was way better
The vuex plugin on the new update is broken. I'm unable to change the state through the vuex tab like I used to. I miss the old vue devtools.
I used to love this extension. With the latest update it has become almost completely useless for Vue 2 projects. Is there a way to go back to a previous version of this plugin?
After v6, it is unsable
Used to be the best extension out there but no longer updates reactively since it was "auto updated" to the vue3 version making it essentially useless
I just use vue.js devtool beta and this is the update I've been waiting for :)
It was working ok (albeit with some frequent crashing), but this latest update has rendered it unusable. It just completely breaks my website when I open up the dev tools and shows errors in the console like "uncaught (in promise) TypeError: sub is not a function". Please revert back to previous version. This version is not fit for purpose. It crashes in a function "Store.prototype.dispatch = function dispatch 9_type, _payload)" on the "this._actionSubscribers.forEach" line.
The latest update has rendered the extension unusable
It's a must have for VUE development, but just stopped working for Vue2 application :(
Can't use it for vue 2
Probably avoid for Vue2 until this extension gets some love for it. The 'state' doesn't show anything aside from what is hard-coded / defaults, the 'getters' section has actual values / changes to values. Rarely, for me at least, the state section does work, so who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If the tool freezes up and refreshing does nothing, killing the tab and opening a new one seems to fix it most of the time, otherwise kill chrome and reopen. You'll probably be doing this a lot, since hot reloading seems to trigger the bug eventually. Using Vue2 with Nuxtjs v2 and this issue didn't start until the tool was updated, FWIW.
Avoid for Vue 2, it rarely loads the component vue and needs full restart of chrome to resolve each time
It isn't detecting vue on chrome, just firefox.
Awesome, big reason to use Vue
Sorry but this extension does not work at all. I tried many times on both Chrome and Firefox, reloaded many times, reinstalled. Nothing works, I don't evn get the Vue section in the console. Useless.
thank you! i love it!
oklah bagus gan, watashi jd bisa debug
péssimo
It's awesome.
Not working
This tool is as useful as it is inconsistent. It's a very powerful tool for writing and understanding websites in Vue.js, but it is prone to crashing, becoming unresponsive, or showing incorrect data (thats usually when your site throws an uncaught error) I still use vue dev tools and will recommend it. However, I always have to follow up the recommendation with "but it crashes or otherwise breaks a lot"
amazing
I would like to love this extension, but it constantly crashes . This is very bad for developer . Need update to more
Crashes, if your application is heavy, it will probably crash.
Sometimes it just doesn't appear in DevTools, which is quite annoying!
Make Vue.JS development easier
Some component data types, like EventTarget, cannot be inspected, If technically possible, add feature like "Store as global variable" context menu item in Components view, just like "Store as global variable" in Elements view.
crashes every single time with my fans spinning up like an airplane's engine and freezes everything on my computer, not only in one project, but in each and every. latest chrome, ubuntu 20.04, don't recommend it.
i'm sure this extension is helpful - but it should work in the first place! on hour later and it still does not recognize the vue app that's running right in front of it's face!
Great plugin. Though it should be more obvious that it only works for Vue 2 and below (hence 4 star) - I was stuck on this unnecessarily for half an hour! For the Vue 3 compatible use this beta version instead: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/vuejs-devtools/ljjemllljcmogpfapbkkighbhhppjdbg?hl=en
Excellent extension... very useful when developing complex Vue applications. No complains so far.
Sometimes it detects Vue, sometimes not, its more like a gamble weather you will be lucky or not. It's hard to trust Vue, when your own recommended by official documentation extension work only 50% time
Keeps saying Vue.js not detected! This doesn't work atall. even on the vuejs.org site.
Vue 3 has been declared stable and advised as the version to be used for any new project. However, several months down the line this extension doesn't support Vue 3 yet. How can you expect people to take Vue 3 seriously if they can't even use the dev tools to debug their apps? I've been building custom alpha versions of this extensions for a while now in order to debug Vue 3 apps, but I'm quite sick of going through these hackish processes while the stable version of this extension hasn't been updated for more than a year. Vue is a great framework, but the lack of attention given to the developer tools is seriously pushing people away from it.
I'm learnign to use Vue so this extention is very useful!
most of time, vue.js devtools work well, but recently, I found a problem, when I switch chrome devtools tab to vue, vue.js devtools plugin and webpage's cpu useage would rise to 100%+, almost crashed. Problem found with vue.js 2.6.11(created by vue-cli 4.4) and latest vue.js devtools(5.3.3). Anyone else has same issue? Btw, other project with vue.js 2.6.10 works well. --- 在vue项目版本vue.js 2.6.11（通过vue-cli4.4创建的）中使用vue开发者工具（5.3.3）的时候会造成页面和插件cpu占用率过高，页面卡死。而2.6.10的项目没有问题，有人有这个问题吗。
It looks like doesn't work with Vue CLI. I'm using Vue3
Some time it not show in dev tool menu, so i need to reinstall it then it appears again, over all 5 star from my side.
Guys it does not recognize vue3
this is the most helpful Vue tool i have ever used in programming
Simple to use extention. Keep adding features which will make development easier.
Definitely a very useful extension, but my coworkers and myself are having very very frequent crashes of the extension that require us to reload it. It would also be nice if we could clear the store state or store module states/remove key values entirely via the Vuex tab.
Really great one for vue-app debugging! Time machine in vuex and components:)
Wow, very useful.
Hated it.Waste of time really.
Loved the extension. But it is not detecting for Vue 3. Please fix it. Thanks
useless "Nuxt.js + Vue.js is detected on this page. Devtools inspection is not available because it's in production mode or explicitly disabled by the author."
chevere
After updating chrome, i need to reinstall it to make it work again.
awesome tool for vuejs....it make my life easier.
The best for programming without the need to debug!!!
Great!
Great
Best developers tools extension ever built, period.
Note, you will probably need to press the "Force Refresh" button in the top-right for the dynamically rendered components if you have hot reload disabled like me. And enable "Editable props" in the settings.
great
not working well in firefox
awesome vue
Crashes every time I try to use it. Tried doing full page refreshed and uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin multiple times. It has become un useable. Too bad it was a really helpful tool.
Would be so helpful if only it worked... For test / demo projects it's OK, but for real life big ones, it just stops working. Pumping the memory over 3GB then crashes the browser. Every few months I think, what if it works now? I wouldn't have to do so much console.log... But no, still not good. Since many years.
I think there are some big companies trying to build languages similar to the Vue.js methodology, but it's difficult to come up with the ease and flexibility of Vue.js, thanks to the authors of this great work.
I've been using this extension with Nuxt and it caused many issues. It actually modified my rendered data which caused me hours of bug hunting just to eventually realize it's from the extension. Over all, I like it most of the time.
Makes debugging Vue.js so much easier. ?
Can't install for multiple profiles,prompt error:already installed
This extension is awesome and extremely helpful for developing with Vue.js. However, it seems like it has really slowed down a lot since the last couple updates and now it's more frustrating to use than not. Anyone else seeing this issue?
Somehow it is stable now :)
Vuex tab completely unusable, crashes site with 100% cpu usage.
In early days,it helps me a lot,makes my life easier.but nowadays it often crashes,which makes me less confident in myself.................
I wish I had the skills to contribute this this project. IMO it needs to be simplified and made reliable first...then add features that dont take away from reliability. Right now it crashes, it does not show state correctly...check your $vm0 $store.state against the displayed state...you will often see discrepancies. Just cant trust the displayed Vuex store data.
great help
currently, it is buggy for state management part
Installed it cuz the component is receiving properties poorly and I'm not getting any errors logged anywhere. This extension doesn't even detect vue on the page. Zero stars
Excellent tools, must-have for every Vue developer. One of the key reasons this framework is so popular.
good
This extension is great!!
