Prerequisites

• React Native: version 0.78.0 or above (required for React 19 support)
• React: version 19.1.0 or above
• React Query: version 5.17.19 or above
• react-native-svg: 15.0.0 or above

Installation

To integrate React Query Dev Tools into your React Native project, follow these simple installation steps. Open your terminal, navigate to your project directory, and execute:

npm install react-native-react-query-devtools

This command adds the react-native-react-query-devtools package to your project dependencies, making the Dev Tools available for use.

Usage

Incorporating React Query Dev Tools into your application is straightforward. Begin by importing the DevToolsBubble component.

import { DevToolsBubble } from "react-native-react-query-devtools";

Next, integrate the DevToolsBubble component into your app. To enable object copying functionality, you must provide a custom copy function that works with your platform (Expo or React Native CLI).

function RootLayoutNav() {
  const colorScheme = useColorScheme();
  const queryClient = new QueryClient();

  // Define your copy function based on your platform
  const onCopy = async (text: string) => {
    try {
      // For Expo:
      await Clipboard.setStringAsync(text);
      // OR for React Native CLI:
      // await Clipboard.setString(text);
      return true;
    } catch {
      return false;
    }
  };

  return (
    <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
      <ThemeProvider value={colorScheme === "dark" ? DarkTheme : DefaultTheme}>
        <Stack>
          <Stack.Screen name="(tabs)" options={{ headerShown: false }} />
          <Stack.Screen name="modal" options={{ presentation: "modal" }} />
        </Stack>
      </ThemeProvider>
      <DevToolsBubble onCopy={onCopy} queryClient={queryClient} />
    </QueryClientProvider>
  );
}

🚀 Features

Network Management

• Online/Offline Toggle: Test your app's behavior in different network conditions
• Visual Indicators: Clear status indicators for network state

Cache Management

• Clear Query Cache: Remove all cached queries with one click
• Clear Mutation Cache: Clear all mutation history and state
• Selective Clearing: Context-aware clearing based on current tab (queries/mutations)

Enhanced UI/UX

• Resizable Panel: Drag corners to resize the dev tools panel to your preferred size
• Moveable Modal: Drag the panel around the screen for optimal positioning
• Tab Navigation: Switch between Queries and Mutations views
• Modern Design: Clean, intuitive interface with improved readability

Query & Mutation Inspector

• Detailed Information: View comprehensive query/mutation data
• State Visualization: Clear indicators for loading, error, and success states
• Data Copying: Copy query keys, data, and other information to clipboard
• Real-time Updates: Live updates as your queries and mutations change

Copy Function

The onCopy prop is required to enable copying functionality in the dev tools. This function should:

• Accept a string parameter
• Return a Promise
• Return true if the copy was successful, false otherwise

Example implementations:

For Expo:

import * as Clipboard from "expo-clipboard";

const onCopy = async (text: string) => {
  try {
    await Clipboard.setStringAsync(text);
    return true;
  } catch {
    return false;
  }
};

For React Native CLI:

import Clipboard from "@react-native-clipboard/clipboard";

const onCopy = async (text: string) => {
  try {
    await Clipboard.setString(text);
    return true;
  } catch {
    return false;
  }
};

🔧 Advanced Configuration

The DevToolsBubble component accepts additional props for customization:

interface DevToolsBubbleProps {
  queryClient: QueryClient; // Required: The QueryClient instance to use
  onCopy: (text: string) => Promise<boolean>;
  // Optional: Callback when selection state changes
  onSelectionChange?: (hasSelection: boolean) => void;
  // Optional: Custom pan responder for advanced gesture handling
  panResponder?: PanResponderInstance;
}

📱 Compatibility

• ✅ React Native 0.78.0+ (with React 19 support)
• ✅ Expo SDK 52+
• ✅ iOS 15.1+
• ✅ Android API 24+
• ✅ New Architecture compatible
• ✅ TypeScript support included

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Module not found errors: Ensure you're using React Native 0.78.0+ for React 19 compatibility
2. SVG rendering issues: Make sure react-native-svg is properly installed and linked
3. Copy functionality not working: Verify your onCopy function implementation matches your platform

Performance Tips

• The dev tools automatically optimize rendering for large query/mutation lists
• Use the clear cache functions to reset state when needed
• The resizable panel remembers your preferred size across sessions
