Summary

Lets the devtools run against a NativeScript Angular app. A NativeScript app has no DOM, so this adds a second overlay that walks the native view tree through Angular's ng debug API and reports over a WebSocket to a devtools server on the developer's machine. The overlay reuses the same collectors and page reports as the browser overlay, so the Components, Signals, Injectors and Store panels, the highlight tool and the MCP tools work against a device the same way they work against a browser tab.

What's in here

  • refactor(overlay): the component tree, signal graph, injector tree and NgRx collectors walk a small HostTree adapter (host-tree.ts: roots, children, parent, tag, selector, lookup) instead of the DOM directly. domTree() keeps the existing DOM walk, CSS selector paths and router-outlet lookup, and is the default, so the browser overlay's behaviour and payloads are unchanged. Host ids now accept any object, with a connected check supplied by the tree. installSignalWriteHook moves to signal-history.ts so another overlay can record signal writes without loading the browser overlay; overlay.ts still re-exports it.
  • feat(overlay): @santoshyadavdev/ng-devtools/overlay-nativescript. It sends the browser overlay's page reports: the component tree and the selected component's detail, the signal graph of the selected (or first signal-bearing) component with its write history, the injector tree with the environment injectors, NgRx stores, and highlight, which outlines the native view. It also covers what the runtime lacks:
    • WebSocket must come from the app (@valor/nativescript-websockets), and location/navigator are shimmed for devframe's client.
    • Reconnection is built in, because devframe's client has none and the app and server restart independently.
    • The DI panel needs Angular's injector profiler, which Angular only wires when window exists during platform creation. The overlay provides a window until core publishes ng.getComponent; it has to wait for that property, because provideRouter() publishes onto ng earlier.
    • Angular's getDirectives() starts with node instanceof Text, so a stand-in Text exists only for the length of that call.
    • @nativescript/core is an optional peer dependency, kept external to the build like Angular.
  • fix(ui): ng-devtools dev serves the UI at / with its connection beside the page (/__connection.json), but the UI only looked under /__ng-devtools/, so the standalone UI never connected. The UI now tries its own base first and falls back to /__ng-devtools/.
  • feat: a NativeScript example app (an ns create --ng project) with a showcase component: a signal, computeds, an effect, an input and a component-level provider. It maps @santoshyadavdev/ng-devtools/* to the package's dist build, which is what npm consumers get. The package sources import each other with .ts extensions, which the app's compiler rejects. pnpm devtools:nativescript starts the server scanning its sources.
  • feat(ui): the NativeScript dock is no longer "Coming Soon". Its view shows setup steps and links to the README section, since a NativeScript app's data shows up in the Angular dock.
  • chore(examples): the example app lives at examples/nativescript (nativescript-demo), next to the Analog demo. It is excluded from the pnpm workspace and installs with npm from its own lockfile, so the root install doesn't pull in the NativeScript toolchain.

Try it

pnpm install
pnpm devtools:build-pkg             # builds packages/ng-devtools/dist, UI included
pnpm devtools:nativescript          # devtools server on http://localhost:9999/
cd examples/nativescript && npm install && ns debug ios --no-hmr

Open http://localhost:9999/. The badge turns to Live, and the app logs [ng-devtools] Connected to the devtools server once it reports. Tap the showcase card and the Signals panel updates.

Verified

  • iPhone 17 Pro simulator (iOS), recorded in the demo video in the comments:
    • the component tree rooted at ns-app, and component details (inputs, change detection, injected services);
    • the signal graph with live values and write history as the showcase is tapped;
    • the injector tree with element injectors and the Platform → Root environment chain;
    • highlight from the Components and Injectors panels outlining the native view;
    • the tree following a navigation to the detail page.
  • pnpm test:devtools (600 tests, including new ones for the NativeScript host tree against the shared collectors), pnpm test, pnpm typecheck, pnpm build, pnpm devtools:build-pkg, pnpm format:check, and a webpack build of the example app.

Notes and follow-ups

  • Android has not been verified yet.
  • Only the component, signal, injector and NgRx collectors run on NativeScript. Forms, pipes, router, HTTP and Analog collectors are still DOM-only.
  • The NativeScript tree has no "routed component" lookup yet, so the Signals panel follows the first component with signals unless one is picked.
  • An existing upstream issue that shows up in the example: a component provider declared as providers: [SomeService] is missing from the DI panel's provider list, in the browser too. Angular stamps a numeric __NG_ELEMENT_ID__ on classes it registers in element injectors, and isBuiltInElementToken in injector-tree.ts treats any token with that property as built-in. Checking for a function or -1 instead would separate them.
  • extension/ui was not rebuilt; the extension passes ?baseURL= and is unaffected by the UI fix.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds NativeScript support to Angular DevTools through a NativeScript overlay, generic host-tree collectors, and a NativeScript example app. It also adds setup documentation and changes the NativeScript dock from a Coming Soon entry to an available setup option.

Changes

NativeScript DevTools

Layer / File(s) Summary
Host-tree contracts and collectors
packages/ng-devtools/src/host-tree.ts, component-tree.ts, injector-tree.ts, ngrx-collector.ts, ngrx-overlay.ts, signal-graph.ts, element-id.ts, dom-walk.ts, defer-blocks.ts, packages/ng-devtools/src/__tests__/ngrx-collector.test.ts
A generic HostTree contract and DOM implementation are added. Component, injector, NgRx, and signal graph collection use host-tree operations and accept generic host types.
NativeScript overlay and package integration
packages/ng-devtools/src/overlay-nativescript*.ts, overlay.ts, signal-history.ts, packages/ng-devtools/package.json, packages/ng-devtools/tsdown.config.ts, packages/ng-devtools/src/__tests__/overlay-nativescript.test.ts, extension/ui/*
A NativeScript view adapter and overlay are added. The overlay connects over WebSocket, reports devtools data, handles inspection and highlighting, and cleans up session state. The package adds an overlay export; signal-write hook logic moves to signal-history.ts. Extension bundle references are updated.
NativeScript project and platform setup
examples/nativescript/App_Resources/*, examples/nativescript/nativescript.config.ts, examples/nativescript/package.json, examples/nativescript/{.editorconfig,.gitignore,.vscode/*,references.d.ts,tsconfig.json,webpack.config.js}, .prettierignore, pnpm-workspace.yaml
The example gains NativeScript configuration and dependencies, Android and iOS app resources, and project settings. The workspace excludes the example from the root package install.
Demo app routes and showcase
examples/nativescript/src/*
The example bootstraps Angular with NativeScript polyfills and development overlay initialization. Its routes display a people list and detail view, and a tap counter demonstrates signal values.
Setup UI and documentation
app/src/app.ts, app/src/pages/coming-soon.ts, packages/ng-devtools/src/hub-docks.ts, packages/ng-devtools/src/__tests__/hub.test.ts, apps/docs/src/content/getting-started/*, apps/docs/src/content/guides/nativescript.md, apps/docs/src/ngmd.config.ts, package.json
The NativeScript dock entry is available and links to setup information. The guide describes installation, overlay startup, server connection settings, and demo commands.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 81a3a

The NativeScript demo script exposes the devtools server to the local network with authentication disabled. Make the restricted command the default and keep the network command as a separate opt-in for physical devices before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟠 High · up to 81a3a

The recommended NativeScript launch configuration disables authentication while listening on all interfaces, exposing inspection and state-changing capabilities to reachable clients. The Android example also applies network exceptions beyond debug-only traffic. The impact is bounded to development use, but the documented warnings do not enforce that boundary.

Retained concerns

  • High · security · observed: The new NativeScript launch preset binds to 0.0.0.0 and disables the one-time-code gate while leaving MCP enabled by default. It converts existing opt-in capabilities into the recommended device workflow, widening access to project inspection and permitted runtime actions. The trusted-network warning is advisory rather than an authorization control.
  • Medium · security · observed: The new Android example permits cleartext traffic and trusts user-installed certificates in its base network policy, referenced from main application resources. These exceptions are app-wide rather than restricted to the listed development hosts or the JavaScript development guard. Reusing this configuration in a release application would carry the weaker network trust policy with it; no production deployment is established.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The evidenced attackable scope is the launched development server's scanned project and connected inspection sessions, including NativeScript store state when NgRx actions are enabled. Actual remote reachability also depends on network access and unresolved standalone transport controls; this does not establish production-wide or tenant-wide compromise.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — The retained reportable security condition is the removal of the listener and authentication protections through the new NativeScript launch preset. The underlying CLI options predate the PR, but their new configured use and native runtime connection increase effective exposure.
  • inferred — A client with network access to the unauthenticated listener can attempt inspection and permitted action calls without the one-time code. A loopback Origin header alone cannot identify a non-browser caller. NgRx dispatch and restore are sensitive outcomes, but standalone source-address enforcement remains unresolved.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Existing countercontrols include localhost and code-gate defaults, optional read-only configuration, and NgRx action and request validation. The documentation distinguishes Vite and Express source-address protections from Origin checks; those protections cannot be assumed for the standalone listener.
  • observed — For the normal server-mediated NgRx path, an omitted page ID is resolved to the first known page and included in the broadcast. Native handlers reject a supplied mismatching page ID. This counters an automatic all-session mutation claim, although routing IDs do not establish transport authorization.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Teardown relies on best-effort forget calls followed by socket closure and eventual server expiry. Partial initialization and in-flight reporting lack a fully established terminal-state contract in the inspected evidence. Existing hook restoration and NgRx serialization provide counterevidence, so no separate security regression is asserted for these uncertainties.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Separate simulator and physical-device launch profiles. Keep simulator binding local; for devices, use the necessary interface with authenticated client pairing and least-authority inspection settings rather than relying on a trusted-network warning.
  • proposed — Move Android development network exceptions into debug-only resources and narrowly scope cleartext destinations and user-certificate trust. Keep the release policy independent of the JavaScript overlay guard.

hey thanks @erkamyaman - these devtools are great - @edusperoni also has great ideas here.

The component tree, signal graph, injector tree and NgRx collectors walk
the host tree through a HostTree adapter (roots, children, parent, tag,
selector, lookup) instead of the DOM directly, so an overlay for a
platform without a DOM only has to describe its hosts. `domTree()` keeps
the DOM walk, the CSS selector paths and the router-outlet lookup the
browser overlay had, and stays the default, so its callers and payloads
are unchanged.

Host ids and the id lookup now take any object with a connected check
supplied by the tree, and `installSignalWriteHook` moves to
signal-history so another overlay can record signal writes without
loading the browser overlay; the overlay still re-exports it.
A NativeScript Angular app has no DOM, so the browser overlay cannot run
in it. The new `@santoshyadavdev/ng-devtools/overlay-nativescript` entry
walks the native view tree from the root component host through the
shared collectors and reports over a WebSocket to a devtools server on
the developer's machine, with the same page reports the browser overlay
sends: the component tree and the selected component's detail, the
signal graph of the selected or first signal-bearing component with its
write history, the injector tree with the environment injectors above
it, NgRx stores, and the highlight event, which outlines the native view.

The runtime needs a few things a browser has for free. A WebSocket global
must come from the app (for example @valor/nativescript-websockets), and
`location` and `navigator` are shimmed for devframe's client. Angular only
wires its injector profiler, which backs the DI panel, when `window`
exists as the platform is created, so a `window` is defined until core
publishes `getComponent` and removed then; the sentinel is that property
rather than the `ng` object itself because provideRouter() publishes its
own utilities onto that object earlier. The devframe client has no
reconnect, and the server and the app restart independently, so a failed
or dropped session is replaced after a pause.

@nativescript/core is an optional peer dependency and stays external to
the build, like Angular.
`ng-devtools dev` served the UI at / with its connection beside the
page, at /__connection.json, while the UI only looked for it at
/__ng-devtools/, which is where the Vite bridge and the Express mount
put it, so the standalone UI never connected. The UI now tries its own
base first and falls back to /__ng-devtools/.
`app-nativescript/` is an `ns create --ng` project wired to the
NativeScript overlay: the WebSocket polyfill in polyfills.ts, the overlay
started in main.ts before the app runs, plain-HTTP allowances for the
simulator and emulator, and a showcase component with a signal, two
computeds, an effect, an input and a component-level provider so every
panel has something to show.

The app maps the devtools package through tsconfig `paths` to its build
output in packages/ng-devtools/dist, which is what the published package
serves, rather than to its TypeScript sources. The sources import each
other with `.ts` extensions, which the app's compiler rejects, and
TypeScript never emits `.ts` sources it resolved through node_modules,
so a linked package compiles to an empty module under
@nativescript/webpack.

`pnpm devtools:nativescript` starts the devtools server scanning the
app's sources. Generated directories are left out of the Prettier check.
The NativeScript dock is no longer marked Coming Soon. Its view shows
what the integration does and how to set up an app, with a link to the
README section, since a NativeScript app's data shows up in the Angular
dock rather than a dock of its own. The card takes an optional heading
for its list, which reads "Set up an app" here.
…script

The example sits next to the Analog demo, as `nativescript-demo`. It
stays out of the pnpm workspace and installs with npm from its own
lockfile, so the root install does not pull in the NativeScript
toolchain. `pnpm devtools:nativescript` and the README follow the move.

Review comments at @examples/nativescript/src/app/people/person.service.ts:
- Around line 116-117: Update getPerson to return Person | undefined, then
handle an unmatched lookup in PersonDetailComponent by showing a not-found state
or navigating away instead of storing and rendering undefined.

Review comments at @packages/ng-devtools/src/overlay-nativescript.ts:
- Around line 84-105: Update connect so setup after connectDevframe is guarded
by a try block; if it fails, set closing, call rpc.close?.(), and rethrow the
error. This ensures start’s rejection handler can retry without leaving a
partially opened socket behind.

Review comments at @README.md:
- Around line 363-366: Add a security warning beside the devtools command using
--host 0.0.0.0 --no-auth: explain that it exposes the RPC and MCP surfaces to
hosts on the LAN, restrict --no-auth to trusted networks, and recommend binding
to a specific interface when possible.

🔵 Trivial · Cleanup can miss rpc.close if a call throws synchronously. · overlay-nativescript.ts:271-280

packages/ng-devtools/src/overlay-nativescript.ts:271-280
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Cleanup can miss rpc.close if a call throws synchronously.

The returned stop function calls restoreSignalHook() and ngrx.stop() before it schedules rpc.close?.(). If either call throws, the socket stays open. The stop function is also used by the disposer, so the error propagates to the caller.

Wrap the sync cleanup in try/finally, or move rpc.close into the finally block. This keeps the socket from leaking on a partial failure.

Proposed fix
   return () => {
     clearInterval(interval);
-    restoreSignalHook();
-    ngrx.stop();
+    try {
+      restoreSignalHook();
+      ngrx.stop();
+    } catch (error) {
+      console.warn('[ng-devtools] cleanup failed', error);

The collectors keep walking a HostTree so the NativeScript overlay can share
them, and upstream's DOM walk changes move into domTree(): helpers from
dom-walk.ts, no selector for elements inside a shadow root, and
<ng-container> comments as anchors so the injector tree still lists their
injectors. Upstream's tree-independent changes (scoped twin indexes in
hostPath, componentHostOf, environment signal graphs, cached provider
records, listedOnPath, environment dependencies, zone mode, maxLog) are
ported onto the HostTree API.

installSignalWriteHook stays in signal-history.ts with upstream's nullable
return. attachNgrx takes maxLog in its options. The NativeScript dock is no
longer marked soon. README takes upstream's slimmed version; the
NativeScript setup moves to the docs site in a follow-up commit.
The NativeScript section of the README moves to guides/nativescript, since the README now points to the docs site. The hub dock tables list the NativeScript dock's setup steps instead of a Coming Soon placeholder.
The README no longer has a NativeScript section. Rebuilds extension/ui.

Security Misconfiguration

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-306 — Missing Authentication for Critical Function

Restrict the default NativeScript server command. The demo script and guide bind to all interfaces and disable authentication. The CLI documentation states that the default is localhost with a one-time code, while --host and --no-auth widen access. Keep the restricted command as the default and provide a separate physical-device command for network access.

Use restricted defaults

command to omit those flags and provide a separate command for physical-device
access using them.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr

* refactor(overlay): read the host tree through a HostTree interface

The component, injector and NgRx collectors now walk a HostTree (roots,
children, parent, tag, connected, isHost, optional selector and anchors)
instead of the DOM. domTree() is the default and keeps the shadow DOM
walk, ng-container anchors and selectors from main, so a platform without
a DOM can run the same collectors over its own views. Extracted from the
NativeScript support in #16.

* refactor(overlay): let the signal graph and NgRx overlay take a HostTree

The signal graph collector accepts a HostTree as well as a document, so
selection by id or selector and the environment graphs work on any tree.
installSignalWriteHook moves to signal-history so an overlay can record
signal writes without loading the browser overlay, which still re-exports
it. attachNgrx takes the tree and a page description in its options, and
hostBySelector() finds a host by its selector on any tree.

Nothing changes for browser pages: every caller keeps the DOM default.
These are the platform-neutral parts of the Angular Native overlay in #199.

* fix(overlay): keep the host tree order when walking it

Copy the roots and children before reversing them in hostBySelector and the NgRx collector, test both and the signal graph over a HostTree, and list the signal graph among the collectors that walk the host tree.

pnpm devtools:nativescript now listens on localhost only, which the iOS simulator and the Android emulator reach. pnpm devtools:nativescript:device listens on every interface for a physical device, and the guide and the panel setup card say which to use and warn about --host with --no-auth.

Thanks @NathanWalker! I merged main in (on top of #203 and #199) and pushed two commits: the merge, with the NativeScript tree now using the shared HostTree and hostBySelector from #203, and pnpm devtools:nativescript defaulting to localhost with a separate devtools:nativescript:device for physical devices. Tested on the iOS simulator: components, signals and injectors all come through.
