Research direction

The issue mentions React DevTools and asks whether they can replace MobX DevTools for tracking updates, detecting observers, and listing observables. Start by reviewing the referenced tweet and the current React DevTools capabilities; the documentation is done when it gives clear answers or procedures for all three tasks.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

question

Hello, in your tweet you mention that Mobx Dev tools are becoming obsolete as we can use React Dev tools now. Can you please elaborate on how can we do the same tasks in Dev tools such as:

  • track updates
  • detect observers
  • list observables

Thanks!
