Devtools #82

Open paldepind opened 6 years ago

paldepind commented 6 years ago

This issue is the place for brainstorming and discussing devtools for Turbine and Hareactive. Some of the features that such a devtool may include are

Visualizing the dependency graph between streams and behaviors.
Making it possible to inspect the history of streams.
Time travel.
Manually pushing occurrences to streams and changing behaviors.

I am planning on starting work on a stream visualizer thing in the spirit of the CycleJS devtools https://github.com/cyclejs/cyclejs/tree/master/devtool

It seems like it'll be able to traverse the hareactive/turbine streams to get a sense of the underlying stream architecture to display the streams. I wonder how I'll "hook into" the running streams so I can live-visualize the values as they flow through.

Another open question is whether the devtools will render onto HTML, SVG or canvas. If either of the latter two, I'd probably want to start by building a Hareactive library for SVG or canvas.
