Local Overrides in Chrome Dev Tools

Ғылым және технология

In this video tutorial, we walk through a sneaky but useful "Overrides" feature in Chrome Dev Tools. If you are tasked with working on a site that doesn't have a snappy local setup, Overrides can help speed up your development process.
I'm a big believer that quick feedback loops empower our best frontend development, so this feature has personally come in handy for me when working on older systems with long deploys.
You probably don't need this if your local workflow is already snappy... but this certainly comes in handy for cases where you don't have direct access to the stack.

    Overrides have really come in handy for me lately. Have you ever had a project where local dev was tricky or slow?

    I actually made use of Overrides not long ago, before that I didn’t even know they existed. Since we didn’t have a local server to test our changes on before moving them to production, they came in very handy :)

    Hey Drew thanks for the Video! It's not really working for me. Only a very short time after re-loading the changes from the overrides appear on the page. Then they are gone. What am I doing wrong?

  • @davem.6481
    @davem.6481 Жыл бұрын

    Another question: I can make overrides to the files I find in the network tab. But often these files are pretty hard to read, because they are minified, because they went through a bundling process e.g. from webpack. Meaning that also variable names like "greetingText" got transformed into "g". Is there a way in this scenario to somehow work in the actual code? In sources --> Page there are the prettified files. But my changes to these files have no effect so far.

    I’m late to the party here. I would open the local code outside of the browser and use match and replace if the values are a constant. If they are changing regularly search for “g = “ and change it to greeting1,greeting2 and so on. The biggest pain is keeping track of the context. Chatgpt can do wonders for code review but can only process about 1200 lines at a time

    I have only been able to achieve mocked network requests with Chrome extensions. There are a few of them, but none of them have been perfect IMO. I may be missing how to do it, though. I really want this directly in Chrome! I'd use it all the time.
