react-dev-inspector is a React library that lets developers click a component in the browser to jump directly to its source code in their local IDE. It combines a compiler plugin, an <Inspector/> component, and a dev-server middleware to bridge browser inspection and editor navigation.

Use cases

  • jump from a React component in the browser to its source code in VS Code
  • find where a page or component is implemented in an unfamiliar codebase
  • click an element on a page to open the file in WebStorm or Neovim
  • integrate click-to-source navigation into a Vite or Next.js dev server
  • explore an open-source React project without hunting through file paths

When to choose

  • you develop React apps with Vite, Next.js, Webpack, Rspack, or UmiJS and want click-to-source navigation
  • you frequently need to locate component code in large or unfamiliar React codebases
  • you want a Chrome-DevTools-like inspector that opens files in your local editor

When to avoid

  • your project is not built with React
  • you need production-time inspection without any dev-server or middleware setup
  • you cannot run a local dev server or editor launcher (e.g., purely static hosting without tooling)
