The extension adds an 'Inertia' panel to Chrome DevTools that records every Inertia.js visit and displays props, HTTP headers/bodies, matched route info, and full page state. Requests are grouped with related partial reloads, deferred loads, prefetches, and Precognition validation requests. Client-side visits and cache-served requests are also captured. Recorded data is stored locally in storage/inertia-devtools, sensitive keys are redacted automatically, and nothing is sent to remote services. No new package installation is required — the recorder is built into existing adapters (client >=3.6, Laravel >=3.2). ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I install Inertia DevTools for debugging Inertia.js requests in Chrome? Inertia DevTools is now installable directly from the Chrome Web Store instead of requiring an unpacked GitHub install. No separate package is needed since the recorder ships inside existing Inertia libraries; you need the client-side adapter at version 3.6 or higher and the Laravel adapter at 3.2 or higher, then just install the extension and select the Inertia panel in Chrome DevTools. _daily.dev surfaces Laravel and Inertia.js tooling updates for developers wiring up their debugging setup._ ### What information does the Inertia DevTools panel show for each request? Selecting a request opens four tabs: Props (a tree of every prop with badges for deferred, optional, merged, and shared props), HTTP (request and response headers and bodies), Route (matched route name, URI, and controller action), and Page (full page state after Inertia processes the response, including data merged from partial reloads). _Developers debugging Inertia.js state flows track tooling like this through daily.dev._ ### Does the Inertia DevTools extension send my application data to a remote server? No, recorded data stays local. Entries are written to storage/inertia-devtools with configurable retention, limits, and path under devtools.storage in config/inertia.php, and sensitive prop keys and headers like passwords, tokens, and authorization headers are redacted before storage, with redacted keys configurable under devtools.redact. _daily.dev helps Laravel developers keep tabs on privacy-conscious tooling choices like this._ ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@allinonetools** · 2 upvotes > Love seeing this move to the Chrome Web Store. Less setup, more time building. **@gaburayondev** · 2 upvotes > Chrome Web Store distribution removing the manual unpacked-install step is a bigger deal than it sounds — that friction was probably the main thing keeping this out of more devs' default workflow. The grouping of partial reloads, deferred loads, prefetches, and Precognition requests together is the actual value here though; debugging Inertia visits by piecing together scattered network tab entries has always been the annoying part. Automatic redaction of sensitive keys on local-only storage is a sensible default too. **@michalfilo** · 0 upvotes > I love standard symfony profiler even it is not a devTool extension, just a tool opened in new tab.
