It's All About Services
Hello all! The Glimpse team is really beginning to hit a groove with Glimpse for Node, and today I'm happy to announce the release of 0.18.9. Like the last release, this release is focused on a major new feature: the Services Tab!
0.18.9 Services Tab
Glimpse's Services Tab provides you with a view of all the service calls happening in your app, from both the browser and your Node.js backend. If you've used previous versions of Glimpse, the Services Tab will feel familiar. A lot of the UI and concepts in the Services Tab originally appeared in the Request Tab.
Here's some highlights from the Services Tab:
Filtering
Glimpse's Services Tab tracks all of your outgoing service requests. Sometimes, there can be a lot of them - but our friendly filters let you focus on the ones you care about.
Details
The real magic in of the Services Tab appears when you click on one of the requests. That's when the details panel appears, showing you everything you need to know about the selected request, and its response. You'll never have to log headers, response bodies, cookies or query strings again!
Full Stack
Continuing the trend we've seen in past releases, the Services Tab is Full Stack. It will show you
XmlHttpRequest

's made from the browser, as well as any calls to thehttp

Node modules.Other Enhancements
The team made a lot of other little enhancements to Glimpse over the course of this release. You'll have to explore to find them all, but keep an eye out for:
Next Steps

We hope you love this version of Glimpse. If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to open an issue!
