Adds an overlay for Angular Native apps (Angular on React Native's Fabric, no DOM), so the devtools can inspect them like a browser app.

What changed

  • Host tree. The component, injector, signal and NgRx collectors now walk a small HostTree interface (roots, children, parent, tag, connected) instead of the DOM. domTree() is the default and keeps the current browser behaviour.
  • Angular Native entry. @santoshyadavdev/ng-devtools/overlay-angular-native exports initAngularNativeOverlay({ root: app.engine.root, baseURL }). It walks Angular Native's engine node tree and reports the component tree, signal graph, injectors and NgRx stores to a devtools server over a WebSocket, reconnecting with the same page id when the connection drops. Highlight outlines the native view and puts it back when cleared.
  • Angular Native view. Pages report platform: 'angular-native'. The panel's Angular Native view (?view=angular-native, and a dock in a hub) shows Components, Signals, Injectors and Store for the connected app, and a setup notice when none is connected. The CLI prints the view's URL on start, and list-pages shows each page's platform.
  • Lazy routes: the overlay sets a location only while it connects and removes it after, so Expo still loads split bundles (lazy routes) from Metro.
  • Pipes: the pipes collector can scan a HostTree, so the Angular Native view has a Pipes tab with live pipes.
  • Browser-only controls (Pick component on page and change detection Record) are hidden for Angular Native pages. A pick in progress is cancelled when the shown page changes.
  • Example app: examples/angular-native, kept outside the pnpm workspace because it installs the package from a local tarball.
  • Docs: a new Angular Native page, the CLI and hub dock tables, the demo apps page and the glossary.

Refs #198

Checks

  • pnpm test:devtools (1095), pnpm test:panel (80), pnpm typecheck, pnpm format:check, pnpm docs:build, pnpm skills:check, pnpm test:axe (includes view=angular-native) and pnpm extension:build pass
  • Built with pnpm pack (what devtools:publish ships) and installed in an Expo app (Angular Native 0.2.0, Expo 57, React Native 0.86.3); Metro bundles dist/overlay-angular-native.mjs
  • iOS simulator (iPhone 18 Pro): component tree, component detail (inputs, signals, injected service), signal graph, injectors with providers, live @ngrx/signals store, highlight on the device, reconnect after a server restart
  • Android emulator (API 36): the same checks, with adb reverse tcp:9999 tcp:9999
  • examples/angular-native runs on both and its typecheck passes
  • The Angular Native view switches from the setup notice to the app's tabs when the app connects (iOS)
  • A real app: ng-native's music example with a PlayerStore and a custom duration pipe, on the iOS simulator. Lazy tabs load, and the Pipes tab shows the pipe live (12 instances)
  • Bare React Native needs a URL polyfill (its URL.protocol is read-only); Expo works as is, and the docs say so

Not checked yet

  • A physical device over Wi-Fi
  • A bare React Native app with react-native-url-polyfill
  • @ngrx/store (Redux) on Angular Native
  • The Angular Native dock inside a running Express or Vite hub with a device connected (unit tests only)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Angular Native support, including live Components, Signals, Injectors, Store, and Pipes views.
    • Added an Angular Native demo app and a dedicated setup guide.
    • The devtools server now displays a separate URL for connecting Angular Native apps, and page listings identify each page’s platform.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Component picking now stops when the active page changes, preventing picks from carrying over between pages.
    • Pipe reporting now works for Angular Native component trees.
  • Documentation
    • Updated installation, setup, and feature guides to cover Angular Native support.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds Angular Native support across the devtools overlay, page reporting, hub, and CLI. It also adds an Expo demo app, setup documentation, and tests for native page selection, overlay collection, and page-scoped controls.

Changes

Angular Native DevTools Support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Platform metadata and server page reporting
packages/ng-devtools/src/types.ts, packages/ng-devtools/src/rpc/*, packages/ng-devtools/src/devframe.ts, packages/ng-devtools/src/cli.ts, packages/ng-devtools/src/__tests__/*, apps/docs/src/content/agents/*
Component reports and page summaries carry optional platform metadata. Page listings show platform labels, and CLI startup output includes the Angular Native apps URL.
Host-tree inspection and collection
packages/ng-devtools/src/overlay-angular-native-views.ts, packages/ng-devtools/src/pipes-collector.ts, packages/ng-devtools/src/__tests__/pipes-collector.test.ts
Adds a HostTree adapter and outline handling for Angular Native nodes. Pipe collection can discover hosts from a supplied tree, with coverage for a host removed from the document.
Angular Native overlay and host adapter
packages/ng-devtools/src/overlay-angular-native.ts, packages/ng-devtools/src/__tests__/overlay-angular-native.test.ts, packages/ng-devtools/package.json, packages/ng-devtools/tsdown.config.ts
Adds overlay connection and reconnection, inspector reporting, RPC highlighting and selection, and session cleanup. Exports and build entries expose the overlay.
Hub view and page-scoped controls
packages/ng-devtools/src/hub-docks.ts, app/src/native-page.ts, app/src/page-id.ts, app/src/app.ts, app/src/pages/*, app/src/__tests__/*
Adds an Angular Native dock and page selection. The hub scopes inspector state to the selected native page. Native pages hide picker and change-detection controls, and page changes cancel active picks.
Demo app and setup documentation
examples/angular-native/*, apps/docs/src/content/getting-started/*, apps/docs/src/content/contributing/*, apps/docs/src/ngmd.config.ts, README.md, docs/CONTEXT.md, pnpm-workspace.yaml, extension/ui/*, scripts/panel-axe.mjs
Adds an Expo Angular Native demo and instructions. Updates setup and project documentation, excludes the example from the workspace, updates extension bundle references, and includes the new view in accessibility checks.

Nice to see the HostTree approach from #16 work for Angular Native too; this helps create a nice platform agnostic boundary to make the fundamental setup in these dev tools even stronger.

#199 and #16 both change the same collectors (component tree, injectors, signal graph, NgRx) to walk a HostTree. Whichever one lands second would have to resolve those conflicts and possibly reconcile two versions of the interface. To avoid that, I opened #203 with only the shared base, taken from this PR with your authorship kept:

  • your first commit (refactor(overlay): read the host tree through a HostTree interface), cherry-picked unchanged;
  • the parts of your second commit that involve no platform: the signal graph taking a HostTree, installSignalWriteHook moving to signal-history.ts, the attachNgrx options, and hostBySelector().

Browser pages behave the same, nothing is added to the package's exports, and the checks pass on current main.

If #203 lands first:

One follow-up idea, here or in a later PR: most of overlay-angular-native.ts is the connection, retry and session code.
Moving that into a shared module (something like overlay-remote.ts) would leave each platform supplying only its tree, highlight and startup hook, to be nice and clean.

* 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.

Co-authored-by: Nathan Walker <walkerrunpdx@gmail.com>

* 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.

Adds @santoshyadavdev/ng-devtools/overlay-angular-native, which walks
Angular Native's engine node tree through a HostTree and reports the
component tree, signal graph, injectors and NgRx stores to a devtools
server over a WebSocket, reconnecting when the server restarts.
Highlight outlines the view through its inline style. The signal graph
collector now accepts a HostTree as well as a document.

Refs santoshyadavdev#198
Angular Native pages now report their platform, so the panel opens an
Angular Native view with Components, Signals, Injectors and Store for
the connected app, and an empty state with the setup link when none is
connected. The CLI prints the view's URL, list-pages shows each page's
platform, and browser-only controls are hidden for Angular Native
pages. Adds examples/angular-native, kept outside the pnpm workspace
because it installs the package from a local tarball.

Refs santoshyadavdev#198
Rebuilds extension/ui for the Angular Native view and the hidden browser-only controls.
The example's todo rows had a checkbox role but no checked state, so screen readers could not tell done items apart. The CLI page now says the tabs show the source scan when no app is connected, and that an Angular Native app connects through the printed URL.
The Angular Native overlay left a global location pointing at the
devtools server, so Expo built split bundle URLs from it and lazy
routes were fetched from the devtools port, leaving a white screen. The
overlay now adds location only while it connects and removes it after,
and never replaces an app's own. The pipes collector can also scan a
HostTree, so the Angular Native view gets a Pipes tab with live pipes.
Rebuilds extension/ui for the Angular Native Pipes tab.
…is pending

The temporary location and navigator were tracked per call, so when two connections overlapped the first to finish removed them while the second was still connecting. They are now shared: added when the first connection starts and removed only after the last one ends, and only if they are still the overlay's own objects.
