## What it is
LocatorJS is a browser extension and library that lets developers click on any UI component in the browser to open its source code in their IDE. It supports React, Preact, SolidJS, Svelte, and Vue via a Babel plugin, webpack/Turbopack loader, or runtime library.

## Use cases
- click on a component in the browser to open its code in my IDE
- find which file renders a UI element in a large React codebase
- speed up my edit-check loop while developing frontend components
- add click-to-source navigation to a Next.js or Vite project
- let my whole team jump from rendered UI to source code
- inspect component source for Svelte or Vue apps

## When to choose
- you develop React, Preact, Solid, Svelte, or Vue apps and want fast UI-to-code navigation
- you want a zero-config option via a browser extension with common React stacks
- you work in a large unfamiliar codebase and need to locate components quickly

## When to avoid
- you need production debugging - it is intended for development environments
- you need full support for Vue or Svelte, which are experimental with limitations
- your stack uses neither Babel nor devtools-compatible sources and you cannot add a loader

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, editor, browser-extension, plugin-system
- domain: frontend, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: browser, browser-extension
- tags: click-to-code, react, svelte, vue, solidjs, preact, devtools, ide-integration, babel-plugin, vite-plugin, nodejs, javascript
