+# Owl Devtools Browser extension
+
+The owl devtools browser extension is an extension available on chrome or firefox which adds an owl tab
+to the browser devtools in order to inspect all owl apps that are present on any web page, their components
+and allows to interract with their data to a certain extend. There is also a profiler available to visualize
+the components' lifecycle and be able to trace their origin.
+
+See the [`devtools doc`](devtools_guide.md) for more information.
+
+## Install the extension manually (for devs)
+
+In the owl root folder:
+
+```bash
+npm install
+```
+
+For chrome:
+
+```bash
+npm run build:devtools-chrome
+```
+
+For firefox:
+
+```bash
+npm run build:devtools-firefox
+```
+
+You can also run:
+
+```bash
+npm run dev:devtools-chrome
+```
+
+or
+
+```bash
+npm run dev:devtools-firefox
+```
+
+to avoid recompiling owl and gain time if it has already been done.
+
+To run the extension:
+
+In google chrome: go to your chrome extensions admin panel, activate developer mode and click on `Load unpacked`.
+Select the output folder (dist/devtools) and that's it, your extension is active!
+There is a convenient refresh button on the extension card (still on the same admin page) to update your code.
+Do note that if you got some problems, you may need to completly remove and reload the extension to completly refresh the extension.
+
+In firefox: go to the address about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox and click on `Load temporary Add-on...`.
+Select any file of the output folder (dist/devtools) and that's it, your extension is active!
+Here, you can use the reload button to refresh the extension.
+
+Note that you may have to open another window or reload your tab to see the extension working.
+Also note that the extension will only be active on pages that have a sufficient version of owl.

+# Owl Devtools Guide
+
+## Information popup
+
+After having installed the extension, a new icon will be added to your extension bar.
+If you don't see it, you can pin the extension using the extensions popup.
+
+<img src="screenshots/extensions.png"/>
+
+Clicking on the owl icon will open the information popup. This popup is useful
+to know in advance whether owl is loaded in the tab or not. This is also indicated
+by the icon itself: if it is flipped upside-down, it means that owl is not loaded in the
+active tab. Do note that old versions of owl are not supported by the extension and will
+therefore be indicated either as obsolete or absent by the extension popup.
+
+<img src="screenshots/popup.png"/>
+
+## First steps
+
+When you are on a page where owl is detected, you can open your devtools either with
+right-click -> Inspect or using F12. In the devtools menu, you can search for the Owl
+tab which is added by the extension. It will be present by default at the end of the list but
+you can drag and drop it at the position you want for easier navigation in the future.
+
+<img src="screenshots/find_owl_tab.png"/>
+
+When you open the tab, you arrive on the Components view by default which is one of the
+two available tabs at the top. Here is an example of the devtools on the Odoo CRM app:
+
+<img src="screenshots/crm.png"/>
+
+## Components tab
+
+The components tab is separated into two sub windows: the components tree in the left and
+the component details in the right. The components tree will display all the different
+components that are present in the tab in the form of a tree. The root of this tree is
+actually the app which is not a component but can still be inspected by the devtools like
+one. There can also be multiple apps loaded in the page like in the following:
+
+<img src="screenshots/multi_apps.png"/>
+
+There is a convenient search bar at the top of the components tree which will help finding
+the components tou want in the tree and also, an element picker can be used to directly select
+the component you want to focus on in the page which is especially useful when trying to find
+what you want. Just click on the elements picker icon and click on the element you want to focus
+on in the page and it will be selected in the devtools accordingly. Hovering any element in the
+page in this mode will highlight it and the same happens anytime in the components tree.
+
+<img src="screenshots/picker.png"/>
+
+In the tree itself, the navigation is quite simple and is similar to the one in the Elements tab
+of the browser's devtools. It is possible to navigate with the keyboard using the arrow keys and
+multiple shortcuts are available in a custom menu when right-clicking on a component. This menu
+allows to expand/fold all the children nodes of a component, fold its direct children only, inspect
+the source code of the component, send it as a global variable in the console, go to the Elements tab
+and focus on its content, force a rerender of the component, send its observed states to the console
+as a global variable, inspect its compiled template in the Sources tab or send its raw template
+to the console.
+
+<img src="screenshots/menu.png"/>
+
+The component details window in the right will show the component that is currently selected as well
+as its env, props, observed states and all the other variables that are present on its instance.
+While the props and the env are already present on the actual instance of the component and are
+pretty explicit by themselves, the observed state value is a bit more complicated to grasp.
+
+The observed state is actually information about which variables are observed by the component
+which will trigger a rerender of the component when it is modified. The keys represent which part of the
+variable is actually observed and the target is the actual variable. For simplicity, the properties
+that are not observed by the component are greyed out while the others are in bold. This means that
+editing bold ones will trigger a rerender while the greyed out ones will not.
+
+<img src="screenshots/states.png"/>
+
+In the given example, we have two keys/target pairs for two different variables. The first one indicates
+that adding or removing an element to the array will trigger a rerender since the length will have changed.
+Replacing the element at index 0, 1 or 2 will also have the same effect as implied by the keys. It doesn't
+mean that editing the properties of element at index 0, 1 or 2 will rerender the component though. It may
+be the case for some but this will be described in another keys/target pair. The second keys/target pair
+is actually the element at index 0 of the first pair. It only has id in the keys meaning that only the
+id property will actually trigger a rerender the component when modified. Be aware however that the other
+properties may be in the observed state of another component like a child one in this case. A greyed out
+property only implies it is not reactive for the selected component and not for the others.
+
+The navigation inside the properties is also similar to the one in console variables: properties have
+their prototype displayed and getters will get their value when clicked on (...). It is also possible to
+send any property to the console using the right-click context menu on it and functions can be inspected
+in the sources tab as well.
+
+<img src="screenshots/function_menu.png"/>
+
+There are several icons available to perform several of the actions described before in the components
+tree context menu and all these actions are also available by opening the menu by right-clicking on the
+component's name. Using the left click on the component's name will focus it in the components tree.
+
+It is also possible to edit any of the leaf node properties. To do so, you must double click on the
+property's value and modify it using the freshly created input then press enter to apply the changes.
+Do note that the modified values should be written in JSON format in order to be valid (examples:
+89, "yes", undefined, null, \["hello", 15\], {"a": 1}, true, ...). Whether it has an impact on the
+component or not and whether it produces an error is the responsability of the user.
+
+<img src="screenshots/edit.png"/>
+
+## Profiler
+
+The profiler tab is the other tab of the owl devtools. It consists in an actions bar at the top and
+a tree/list of events related to the owl components' renders. Here is an example of the events launched
+when entering the Odoo Crm app.
+
+<img src="screenshots/profiler.png"/>
+
+In the initial state, no event is displayed. You need to activate the recording of events before they
+are intercepted by the devtools using the record button.
+
+<img src="screenshots/record.png"/>
+
+The second button is used to clear all the events that have been recorded. The select can be used to
+switch between the tree view (which shows the causality between renders) and the events log view which
+simply displays the events in the exact order they were triggered. In this view, you can expand the create,
+update and destroy events which reveals the component that initiated the event.
+
+<img src="screenshots/events_log.png"/>
+
+The third button is only visible in tree view and allows to fold all the render events that were recorded.
+Some actions are also available when using the right-click on any event of the tree view for navigation
+purpose in a similar fashion as in the components tree.
+
+<img src="screenshots/tree_actions.png"/>
+
+There is also the Trace Renderings and Trace Subscriptions features. These features are independant of the
+recording of events and have no effect on the profiler tab. The Trace Renderings option is used to log in
+the console all the render events and allows to show their traceback information. Similarly, the Trace
+Subscriptions option logs all the properties that caused a render event and also allows to see the traceback
+of the modification
+
+<img src="screenshots/trace_rendering.png"/>
+<img src="screenshots/trace_subscriptions.png"/>
+
+## Options
+
+The owl devtools extension has a dark mode feature which defaults to your general devtools settings and can
+be toggled using the sun/moon icon at the top-right corner of the tab. All the examples above were created
+with the dark mode enabled. There is also a refresh button to completely reset the owl devtools.
+
+<img src="screenshots/darkmode.png"/>
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If the feedback from the page to the devtools seems to be cut, just close the devtools and refresh the page.
+This will eventually happen any time a tab stays opened for too long without being refreshed.
