Airtable blocks dev tools - an npm package that can be added to any block and includes the following tools:

1. A GlobalConfig editor - so you can view AND edit global config in development mode AND in release mode.

2. A blocks api explorer - with support for viewing the property values of the following models, exactly as you get them from the api:

• Base
• Active table
• Active view
• Selected record
• Selected field
• Cursor
• Session
• Viewport

npm install @superblocks-at/devtools --save

Usage

import React from "react";
import { initializeBlock } from "@airtable/blocks/ui";

import { Devtools } from "@superblocks-at/devtools";

function BlockWithDevtools {
	// Wrap Devtools around your block code or put it wherever you want in your main component.
	// It will just work.
	return <Devtools>
		<MyBlock/>
	</Devtools>;

	// Another way of using Devtools
	// return <>
		// <Devtools/>
		// <MyBlock/>
	// </>;

Contributions

Are more than welcome. The goal is to have the community expand the package with additional tools that can increase the productivity of Airtable custom blocks developers. Some ideas that come to mind:

• Add Links to the relevant blocks api documentation section wherever appropriate.
• Add the ability to execute api functions which also shows correct usage through pre-populated code snippets.
