Detect if DevTools is open and its orientation

Useful for when you want something special to happen when DevTools is open. Like pausing canvas, adding style debug info, etc.

Install

$ npm install devtools-detect

Usage

<script src="node_modules/devtools-detect/index.js"></script>
<script type="module">
	// Check if it's open
	console.log('Is DevTools open:', window.devtools.isOpen);

	// Check it's orientation, `undefined` if not open
	console.log('DevTools orientation:', window.devtools.orientation);

	// Get notified when it's opened/closed or orientation changes
	window.addEventListener('devtoolschange', event => {
		console.log('Is DevTools open:', event.detail.isOpen);
		console.log('DevTools orientation:', event.detail.orientation);
	});
</script>
