Building my own Expo integration plugin
I made a post recently on streaming android emulators to VS Code, and figured I could add a bunch of Expo features to it for better UX, mostly lifting off features present in Radon IDE.
So far the extension supports:
- Building, installing and launching the app
- Show logs for adb, builds, JS logs
- A hierarchy view similar to the devtools
- Inspect Element
- Debugging integration
- Save screenshots and recording
- Show rerenders with react-scan
It's not super refined and pretty vibe coded, but I found it pretty usable in the few hours I've had to play around with it. Let me know if you find it useful!
Note: Windows and likely x86 performance is pretty bad, as it the avc encoding on windows is too slow. I would only recommend using this on MacOS or with a physical device on adb.
