feat: NativeScript support (native overlay, example app, standalone server fixes) by NathanWalker · Pull Request #16 · santoshyadavdev/angular-devtools

NathanWalker · 2026-09-25T04:52:30Z

Summary

Lets the devtools run against a NativeScript Angular app. A NativeScript app has no DOM, so this adds a second overlay that walks the native view tree through Angular's ng debug API and reports over a WebSocket to a devtools server on the developer's machine. The overlay reuses the same collectors and page reports as the browser overlay, so the Components, Signals, Injectors and Store panels, the highlight tool and the MCP tools work against a device the same way they work against a browser tab.

What's in here

refactor(overlay): the component tree, signal graph, injector tree and NgRx collectors walk a small HostTree adapter (host-tree.ts: roots, children, parent, tag, selector, lookup) instead of the DOM directly. domTree() keeps the existing DOM walk, CSS selector paths and router-outlet lookup, and is the default, so the browser overlay's behaviour and payloads are unchanged. Host ids now accept any object, with a connected check supplied by the tree. installSignalWriteHook moves to signal-history.ts so another overlay can record signal writes without loading the browser overlay; overlay.ts still re-exports it.
feat(overlay): @santoshyadavdev/ng-devtools/overlay-nativescript. It sends the browser overlay's page reports: the component tree and the selected component's detail, the signal graph of the selected (or first signal-bearing) component with its write history, the injector tree with the environment injectors, NgRx stores, and highlight, which outlines the native view. It also covers what the runtime lacks:
- WebSocket must come from the app (@valor/nativescript-websockets), and location/navigator are shimmed for devframe's client.
- Reconnection is built in, because devframe's client has none and the app and server restart independently.
- The DI panel needs Angular's injector profiler, which Angular only wires when window exists during platform creation. The overlay provides a window until core publishes ng.getComponent; it has to wait for that property, because provideRouter() publishes onto ng earlier.
- Angular's getDirectives() starts with node instanceof Text, so a stand-in Text exists only for the length of that call.
- @nativescript/core is an optional peer dependency, kept external to the build like Angular.
fix(ui): ng-devtools dev serves the UI at / with its connection beside the page (/__connection.json), but the UI only looked under /__ng-devtools/, so the standalone UI never connected. The UI now tries its own base first and falls back to /__ng-devtools/.
feat: a NativeScript example app (an ns create --ng project) with a showcase component: a signal, computeds, an effect, an input and a component-level provider. It maps @santoshyadavdev/ng-devtools/* to the package's dist build, which is what npm consumers get. The package sources import each other with .ts extensions, which the app's compiler rejects. pnpm devtools:nativescript starts the server scanning its sources.
feat(ui): the NativeScript dock is no longer "Coming Soon". Its view shows setup steps and links to the README section, since a NativeScript app's data shows up in the Angular dock.
chore(examples): the example app lives at examples/nativescript (nativescript-demo), next to the Analog demo. It is excluded from the pnpm workspace and installs with npm from its own lockfile, so the root install doesn't pull in the NativeScript toolchain.

Try it

pnpm install
pnpm devtools:build-pkg             # builds packages/ng-devtools/dist, UI included
pnpm devtools:nativescript          # devtools server on http://localhost:9999/
cd examples/nativescript && npm install && ns debug ios --no-hmr

Open http://localhost:9999/. The badge turns to Live, and the app logs [ng-devtools] Connected to the devtools server once it reports. Tap the showcase card and the Signals panel updates.

Verified

iPhone 17 Pro simulator (iOS), recorded in the demo video in the comments:
- the component tree rooted at ns-app, and component details (inputs, change detection, injected services);
- the signal graph with live values and write history as the showcase is tapped;
- the injector tree with element injectors and the Platform → Root environment chain;
- highlight from the Components and Injectors panels outlining the native view;
- the tree following a navigation to the detail page.
pnpm test:devtools (600 tests, including new ones for the NativeScript host tree against the shared collectors), pnpm test, pnpm typecheck, pnpm build, pnpm devtools:build-pkg, pnpm format:check, and a webpack build of the example app.

Notes and follow-ups

Android has not been verified yet.
Only the component, signal, injector and NgRx collectors run on NativeScript. Forms, pipes, router, HTTP and Analog collectors are still DOM-only.
The NativeScript tree has no "routed component" lookup yet, so the Signals panel follows the first component with signals unless one is picked.
An existing upstream issue that shows up in the example: a component provider declared as providers: [SomeService] is missing from the DI panel's provider list, in the browser too. Angular stamps a numeric __NG_ELEMENT_ID__ on classes it registers in element injectors, and isBuiltInElementToken in injector-tree.ts treats any token with that property as built-in. Checking for a function or -1 instead would separate them.
extension/ui was not rebuilt; the extension passes ?baseURL= and is unaffected by the UI fix.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9f0a1

Overlay disposal could leave a WebSocket open if a cleanup step throws. This affects a development-only tool and is unlikely to matter in practice. It is safe to merge, though the cleanup should be hardened.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟠 High · up to 9f0a1

The documented physical-device setup exposes unauthenticated DevTools endpoints to other machines on the reachable network. A warning and narrower binding options reduce the risk when followed, but the example command uses the broadest binding. The new Android example also permits cleartext traffic globally.

Retained concerns

High · security · observed: The new device setup recommends an all-interface, no-auth server command for inspection and control endpoints. Its stated authority boundary is network reachability, allowing any host that can reach that development server to access RPC and MCP.
Medium · security · observed: The new Android example permits cleartext traffic at the application level and in its base network policy, rather than only for the documented development-server addresses. This broadens the example app’s transport exposure if it is run on an untrusted network or reused beyond development.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

inferred — Under the documented physical-device command, independently reachable hosts on the development machine’s network can address the DevTools RPC and MCP surface; the exact set of hosts depends on network and firewall configuration.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

observed — The documentation identifies an unauthenticated path from a host that can reach the broadly bound development server to its inspection and MCP endpoints. No production deployment or independently verified exploit is established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

observed — The browser setup describes local-machine and trusted-origin restrictions. The added device instructions instead rely on network trust or host binding when using --no-auth; development-only initialization limits when the overlay starts, not who can reach a broadly bound server.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

inferred — The reconnect path stops a prior session and attempts page-data cleanup, but the available source does not establish server-side ownership or guaranteed cleanup when the socket is already interrupted. Stale inspection data across recovery remains a coverage gap, not a verified finding.

Hardening Proposals

proposed — Make the documented default loopback-bound, and specify an authenticated, narrowly bound approach for physical devices rather than leading with an all-interface no-auth command.
proposed — Scope Android cleartext and certificate exceptions to the development addresses and build variants that need them; keep storage permissions only if the example requires them.

That looks like a real badass idea

erkamyaman · 2026-09-25T06:14:56Z

I had an idea to make this devtools work for Capacitor Angular apps as well but this is beyond my wildest dreams. Just watched the video so cool

NathanWalker · 2026-09-26T00:00:27Z

hey thanks @erkamyaman - these devtools are great - @edusperoni also has great ideas here.

The component tree, signal graph, injector tree and NgRx collectors walk the host tree through a HostTree adapter (roots, children, parent, tag, selector, lookup) instead of the DOM directly, so an overlay for a platform without a DOM only has to describe its hosts. `domTree()` keeps the DOM walk, the CSS selector paths and the router-outlet lookup the browser overlay had, and stays the default, so its callers and payloads are unchanged. Host ids and the id lookup now take any object with a connected check supplied by the tree, and `installSignalWriteHook` moves to signal-history so another overlay can record signal writes without loading the browser overlay; the overlay still re-exports it.

A NativeScript Angular app has no DOM, so the browser overlay cannot run in it. The new `@santoshyadavdev/ng-devtools/overlay-nativescript` entry walks the native view tree from the root component host through the shared collectors and reports over a WebSocket to a devtools server on the developer's machine, with the same page reports the browser overlay sends: the component tree and the selected component's detail, the signal graph of the selected or first signal-bearing component with its write history, the injector tree with the environment injectors above it, NgRx stores, and the highlight event, which outlines the native view. The runtime needs a few things a browser has for free. A WebSocket global must come from the app (for example @valor/nativescript-websockets), and `location` and `navigator` are shimmed for devframe's client. Angular only wires its injector profiler, which backs the DI panel, when `window` exists as the platform is created, so a `window` is defined until core publishes `getComponent` and removed then; the sentinel is that property rather than the `ng` object itself because provideRouter() publishes its own utilities onto that object earlier. The devframe client has no reconnect, and the server and the app restart independently, so a failed or dropped session is replaced after a pause. @nativescript/core is an optional peer dependency and stays external to the build, like Angular.

`ng-devtools dev` served the UI at / with its connection beside the page, at /__connection.json, while the UI only looked for it at /__ng-devtools/, which is where the Vite bridge and the Express mount put it, so the standalone UI never connected. The UI now tries its own base first and falls back to /__ng-devtools/.

`app-nativescript/` is an `ns create --ng` project wired to the NativeScript overlay: the WebSocket polyfill in polyfills.ts, the overlay started in main.ts before the app runs, plain-HTTP allowances for the simulator and emulator, and a showcase component with a signal, two computeds, an effect, an input and a component-level provider so every panel has something to show. The app maps the devtools package through tsconfig `paths` to its build output in packages/ng-devtools/dist, which is what the published package serves, rather than to its TypeScript sources. The sources import each other with `.ts` extensions, which the app's compiler rejects, and TypeScript never emits `.ts` sources it resolved through node_modules, so a linked package compiles to an empty module under @nativescript/webpack. `pnpm devtools:nativescript` starts the devtools server scanning the app's sources. Generated directories are left out of the Prettier check.

The NativeScript dock is no longer marked Coming Soon. Its view shows what the integration does and how to set up an app, with a link to the README section, since a NativeScript app's data shows up in the Angular dock rather than a dock of its own. The card takes an optional heading for its list, which reads "Set up an app" here.

…script The example sits next to the Analog demo, as `nativescript-demo`. It stays out of the pnpm workspace and installs with npm from its own lockfile, so the root install does not pull in the NativeScript toolchain. `pnpm devtools:nativescript` and the README follow the move.

NathanWalker · 2026-09-29T19:15:54Z

Great work on latest UI updates, looking super nice.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Cleanup can miss rpc.close if a call throws synchronously.

The returned stop function calls restoreSignalHook() and ngrx.stop() before it schedules rpc.close?.(). If either call throws, the socket stays open. The stop function is also used by the disposer, so the error propagates to the caller.

Wrap the sync cleanup in try/finally, or move rpc.close into the finally block. This keeps the socket from leaking on a partial failure.

only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes
minimal, and validate.

Outside diff comments:
Review comments at @packages/ng-devtools/src/overlay-nativescript.ts:
- Around line 271-280: Update the returned stop function around
restoreSignalHook and ngrx.stop so synchronous cleanup failures cannot skip
closing the RPC socket; ensure rpc.close runs in a finally path while preserving
the existing asynchronous forget calls.
