RemoteDev Server
================

Bridge for communicating with an application remotely via [Redux DevTools extension](https://github.com/zalmoxisus/redux-devtools-extension), [Remote Redux DevTools](https://github.com/zalmoxisus/remote-redux-devtools) or [RemoteDev](https://github.com/zalmoxisus/remotedev). Running your server is optional, you can use [remotedev.io](https://remotedev.io) instead.

### Installation

```
npm install --save-dev remotedev-server
```

### Usage

##### Add in your app's `package.json`:

```
"scripts": {
  "remotedev": "remotedev --hostname=localhost --port=8000"
}
```

So, you can start remotedev server by running `npm run remotedev`.

##### Import in your `server.js` script you use for starting a development server:

```js
var remotedev = require('remotedev-server');
remotedev({ hostname: 'localhost', port: 8000 });
```

So, you can start remotedev server together with your dev server.

##### Install the package globally (not recommended) just run:

```
remotedev --hostname=localhost --port=8000
```

### Connection settings

Set `hostname` and `port` to the values you want. `hostname` by default is `localhost` and `port` is `8000`.

To use WSS, set `protocol` argument to `https` and provide `key`, `cert` and `passphrase` arguments.

### Inject to React Native local server

##### Add in your React Native app's `package.json`:

```
"scripts": {
  "remotedev": "remotedev --hostname=localhost --port=8000 --injectserver=reactnative"
}
```

The `injectserver` value can be `reactnative` or `macos` ([react-native-macos](https://github.com/ptmt/react-native-macos)), it used `reactnative` by default.

Then, we can start React Native server and RemoteDev server with one command (`npm start`).

##### Revert the injection

Add in your React Native app's `package.json`:

```
"scripts": {
  "remotedev-revert": "remotedev --revert=reactnative"
}
```

Or just run `$(npm bin)/remotedev --revert`.

### Connect from Android device or emulator

> Note that if you're using `injectserver` argument explained above, this step is not necessary. 

If you're running an Android 5.0+ device connected via USB or an Android emulator, use [adb command line tool](http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html) to setup port forwarding from the device to your computer:

```
adb reverse tcp:8000 tcp:8000
```

If you're still use Android 4.0, you should use `10.0.2.2` (Genymotion: `10.0.3.2`) instead of `localhost` in [remote-redux-devtools](https://github.com/zalmoxisus/remote-redux-devtools#storeconfigurestorejs) or [remotedev](https://github.com/zalmoxisus/remotedev#usage).

### Save reports and logs

You can store reports via [`redux-remotedev`](https://github.com/zalmoxisus/redux-remotedev) and get them replicated with [Redux DevTools extension](https://github.com/zalmoxisus/redux-devtools-extension) or [Remote Redux DevTools](https://github.com/zalmoxisus/remote-redux-devtools). You can get action history right in the extension just by clicking the link from a report.

Remotedev server is database agnostic. By default everything is stored in the memory, but you can persist data by specifying one of the jsData adapters above for `adapter` argument. Also you can add an `dbOptions` argument for database configuration. If not provided the default options will be used (for some adapters, like `sql`, it's required). You have to install the required adapter's npm package.
