LiveDebugger is a tool designed specifically for debugging in Phoenix LiveView environments. It addresses common challenges developers face, such as tracking the state of multiple LiveComponents and their interactions. Traditional debugging methods, like logging, can become overwhelming as applications scale. LiveDebugger provides a dashboard to monitor active LiveViews, visualizes the structure of LiveComponents, and allows direct inspection of assigns. It also traces callback executions to understand event flows better. Future updates will include chrome extension integration, visual component highlighting, dark mode, and improved nested LiveView support. The tool aims to enhance developer experiences in building complex LiveView applications.
