Open Dev Tool in Electron Js

  • In Electron.js, the code statement `win.webContents.openDevTools();` is used to open the DevTools for a specific window (`win`). 
  • The DevTools in Electron.js are a set of developer tools similar to the ones found in web browsers. They provide debugging capabilities and a variety of other useful features for developing and testing Electron applications.


    win.webContents.openDevTools();

Let's break down the code statement:

  • win: It represents a reference to a BrowserWindow object. A BrowserWindow is a window or frame of a native application that can display web content.
  • webContents: The `webContents` property of a BrowserWindow object represents the web page that is currently loaded in the window. It provides methods and events related to the web content, such as navigating to URLs, executing JavaScript code, and interacting with the DevTools.
  • openDevTools(): It is a method provided by the `webContents` object. When called, it opens the DevTools for the associated window. The DevTools will appear as a separate panel, similar to the one found in web browsers, with various tabs and tools to inspect and debug the web content.
  • By invoking `win.webContents.openDevTools();`, you are instructing Electron to open the DevTools for the specified window. This can be useful during development to inspect the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript of your application, monitor network requests, debug JavaScript code, and analyze the performance of your Electron app.
