### With FloatingDevTools (Recommended)
|
|
22
|
-
|
|
23
|
-
The easiest way to use this tool is with the FloatingDevTools menu:
|
|
24
|
-
|
|
25
|
-
```tsx
|
|
26
|
-
import { FloatingDevTools, autoDiscoverPresets } from '@buoy/core';
|
|
27
|
-
|
|
28
|
-
// The highlight updates tool is automatically discovered if installed
|
|
29
|
-
const apps = autoDiscoverPresets();
|
|
30
|
-
|
|
31
|
-
function App() {
|
|
32
|
-
return (
|
|
33
|
-
<FloatingDevTools apps={apps}>
|
|
34
|
-
<YourApp />
|
|
35
|
-
</FloatingDevTools>
|
|
36
|
-
);
|
|
37
|
-
}
|
|
38
|
-
```
|
|
39
|
-
|
|

Or explicitly add the preset:

});
|
|

```

## What you get
|
|
98
41
|
|
|
99
|
-
|
|
42
|
+
- **Render overlays with the cause** — every render flashes a bounding box tagged mount / state change / prop change / parent re-render. No more guessing why a component updated.
|
|
43
|
+
- **Hook value tracking** — when state caused the render, see the before → after values of the exact `useState` or `useReducer` that changed.
|
|
44
|
+
- **Overlay mode** — lightweight real-time highlights while you interact with the app; perfect for spotting unnecessary re-renders.
|
|
45
|
+
- **Modal mode** — full inspector with render history, filtering, and detailed per-render cause breakdowns for deep debugging sessions.
|
|
46
|
+
- **Powers Bench's render capture** — with [`@buoy-gg/perf-monitor`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@buoy-gg/perf-monitor) installed, benchmark recordings capture per-component render counts and durations.
|
|
47
|
+
- **Filters out the framework noise** — you see your components, not `View`/`Text` internals.

2. **"Highlight updates when components render" must be enabled** in DevTools Profiler settings
|
|
105
|
-
|
|
106
|
-
This tool then allows you to temporarily disable the highlighting without going back to DevTools settings.
|
|
107
|
-
|
|
108
|
-
## How It Works
|
|
109
|
-
|
|
110
|
-
The tool intercepts the DevTools agent's `drawTraceUpdates` event listener. When disabled, it simply doesn't forward the event to the original handler, effectively blocking the highlight rendering.
|
|
111

|
|

### `HighlightUpdatesController`

|

Standalone controller for programmatic use.

|
-
| Method | Description |
|
|
153
|
-
|--------|-------------|

|
154
|
-
| `initialize()` | Initialize the controller. Returns `true` on success. |
|
|
155
|
-
| `enable()` | Enable highlight rendering |
|
|
156
|
-
| `disable()` | Disable highlight rendering |
|
|
157
|
-
| `toggle()` | Toggle the enabled state |
|
|
158

|
|
162
|
-
| `destroy()` | Cleanup and restore original listener |
|
|
163
|
-
|
|
164
|
-
## Console Access
|
|
165
|
-
|
|
166
|
-
When in development mode, the controller is exposed globally:
|
|
167
|
-
|
|
168
|
-
```javascript
|
|
169
|
-
// In Chrome DevTools console
|
|
170
|
-
window.__HIGHLIGHT_UPDATES_CONTROLLER__.toggle();
|
|
171
|
-
window.__HIGHLIGHT_UPDATES_CONTROLLER__.isEnabled();
|
|
172
|
-
```
|
|
173
|
-
|
|
174
|
-
## Troubleshooting
|
|
175
|
-
|
|
176
|
-
### Controller Not Initializing
|
|
177
|
-
|
|
178
|
-
**Problem:** `initialize()` returns false
|
|
179
|
-
|
|
180
|
-
**Solutions:**
|
|
181
|
-
1. Check DevTools is connected: `window.__REACT_DEVTOOLS_GLOBAL_HOOK__.reactDevtoolsAgent`
|
|
182
|
-
2. Add initialization delay: Wait 1-2 seconds after app launch
|
|
183
|
-
3. Ensure "Highlight updates" is enabled in DevTools first
|
|
184
|
-
|
|
185
|
-
### Highlights Still Showing After Disable
|
|
186
|
-
|
|
187
|
-
**Problem:** Highlights appear even when disabled
|
|
188
|
-
|
|
189
|
-
**Solutions:**
|
|
190
|
-
1. Verify controller is initialized: `HighlightUpdatesController.isInitialized()`
|
|
191
|
-
2. Check enabled state: `HighlightUpdatesController.isEnabled()`
|
|
192
|
-
3. Ensure listener was properly intercepted (check console logs)
|
|
193
|
-
|
|
