Review Summary
Apollo Client Devtools is appreciated for debugging Apollo Client apps and enabling query inspection, especially when connectToDevTools is correctly set. However, many users report it often fails to work, causing runtime errors and compatibility problems, particularly with newer Apollo Client versions and Chrome 120. The extension lacks regular updates, sometimes shows unnecessary console logs, and suffers from poor documentation, leading to frustration among developers seeking reliable tooling.
Pros
- Very useful for debugging Apollo Client applications.
- Works well after explicitly setting connectToDevTools to true in the Apollo Client configuration.
- Allows viewing queries and cache in a development environment.
- Helpful when it functions correctly, providing valuable insights during development.
Cons
- Frequently does not work with certain Apollo Client versions or setups.
- Causes runtime errors such as 'Cannot convert object to primitive value'.
- Lacks consistent support and updates, leading to compatibility issues with newer Chrome versions.
- Displays unwanted console log messages even when not needed, which can be intrusive.
- Documentation is lacking, making troubleshooting difficult for new users.
