Vue DevTools is the official debugging and inspection tool for Vue.js applications, available as a Vite plugin, browser extension, or standalone app. It provides component tree inspection, live state editing, time travel debugging, and integrations with Vue Router and Pinia.

Use cases

• inspect Vue component tree and state
• debug Vue app state changes with time travel
• edit component props and state live
• view and navigate Vue Router routes
• inspect Pinia stores and edit their state
• profile Vue app rendering performance
• find which component renders a DOM element

When to choose

• you develop Vue.js applications and need component/state inspection
• you want Pinia and Vue Router integration in your devtools
• you use Vite and want deep integration like inspect and asset browsing
• you need a plugin API to surface your library's data in devtools

When to avoid

• you work with React, Angular, or Svelte rather than Vue
• you need production monitoring or error tracking rather than local development tooling
• you use the legacy Vue 2 workflow without support for the v7 tooling
