Understanding the debugger.html codebase.

-
This post will give a glimpse of the codebase of debugger.html and how the code is structured in the project itself. Debugger.html is a web application based debugger that takes its inspiration from mozilla's devtools.

It is a debugger that runs on your browser that you can checkout here.

So the debugger is a react/redux application and uses the new ES6 syntax as a result.
The components are divided into 3 parts.
  • Primary Pane- The left pane which hold the directory pathing.
  • Editor -The middle panes that opens up the files.
  • Secondary Pane -The right panel that hold the debugging windows such as breakpoints, watch etc.
Most of the shared resources exists in the shared folder and utils contains all the utility files.

Recently I worked on a dropdown menu issue that made the editor show more files that were not in the tab itself.

The PR is got a lot of changes too since the primary push so hopefully this gets merged like my last PR.

In this post I will talk about how I went on to implement  Leaflet's  mini-map interface on a map based application called  bridge-troll . So you can check out the project  here .Its a map-based game that unlocks "troll" under bridges using open data.The mini - map library that I used in Norkart's Leaflet-MiniMap that can be found  here  . Implementing the mini - map was not easy and after my use of the library , I did notice some bugs. Firstly the websites example shows that the mini-map can be toggled using the 'ToggleDisplay' property.The example can be seen  here  . As you can see that the example can toggle the mini-map but in my example the toggle button does not show up. No toggle button This problem is already filed as an issue in the repository which can be found  here  . I did reply on this issue with example pictures. This problem really makes it hard for the mini-map to appear separated from the main map.  So I will curr
