Enabled the ChangeDetections tag - OnPush, Eager in the component tree in the devtools

Eager:

OnPush:

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • The component tree now shows components’ declared and effective change-detection strategies, including framework-version defaults. Strategies that can’t be determined are identified as unknown.
    • Added an example clock component that uses eager change detection and updates its tick count every second.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The component scan now resolves effective change-detection modes using Angular version information. The component tree displays the mode, and the examples page renders an Eager clock.

Changes

Component change detection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve the Angular major version
packages/ng-devtools/src/rpc/angular-version.ts, packages/ng-devtools/src/rpc/__tests__/angular-version.test.ts
angularMajor checks the installed Angular core version before workspace dependency declarations. Tests cover supported version formats and invalid or missing metadata.
Parse and return change-detection metadata
packages/ng-devtools/src/rpc/get-components.ts, packages/ng-devtools/src/rpc/__tests__/get-components.test.ts
The RPC resolves effective modes from recognized declarations or Angular-version defaults. Directives omit the mode. Tests cover recognized values, nested properties, and unresolved expressions.
Display component change-detection modes
app/src/pages/component-tree.ts, packages/ng-devtools/src/component-tree.ts, packages/ng-devtools/src/__tests__/component-tree.test.ts
Component details display the change-detection mode or Unknown. The metadata mapping identifies value 1 as Eager.
Add an Eager clock example
src/app/examples/eager-clock.ts, src/app/examples/components-example.ts, extension/ui/...
The examples page renders EagerClock, which increments its tick count every second and clears its interval on destruction. The extension UI asset references are updated.

Suggested reviewers: erkamyaman

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 9ee96

The component tree now shows OnPush or Eager, with version-aware defaults, and shows Unknown when the mode cannot be resolved. No remaining merge-blocking issues were found.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9ee96

The new metadata is limited to change-detection labels for display. The reviewed flow does not show a new sensitive operation or access-control decision, although the assessment does not cover every generated asset and downstream consumer.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The inspected incremental exposure is a derived label in an existing source-scanning RPC and its component-tree display, not a new repository-read entrypoint.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — In the inspected flow, project-controlled declarations and version metadata can affect the displayed label, but no new authority-bearing use of that label was identified.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Project files are read within the existing scanner; the added RPC field is schema-constrained, and unsupported declaration expressions resolve to unknown.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Version-file read and parse failures fall back without supplying a guessed version, limiting misleading defaults when workspace metadata is unavailable.

The modes are parsed and shown with care,
OnPush or Eager now appear.

Review comments at @app/src/pages/component-tree.ts:
- Around line 455-459: Update the unknown change-detection note in the
component-tree rendering logic to use an explicit unresolved-expression field
rather than `changeDetectionDeclared`. Add and populate that field in the
relevant `ComponentInfo` interfaces, `ComponentSchema`, and `get-components.ts`
RPC response so unresolved expressions show the scan-resolution note while other
unknown values show the Angular-version note.

Review comments at @packages/ng-devtools/src/rpc/angular-version.ts:
- Around line 40-47: Update readJson to return Record<string, unknown> and
validate the parsed JSON is a non-null object before returning it, falling back
to an empty object otherwise. In angularMajor, validate that dependencies and
devDependencies are objects before reading @angular/core, so invalid metadata
yields an unknown major rather than throwing.

Review comments at @src/app/examples/eager-clock.ts:
- Line 27: Update the setInterval callback that increments this.ticks to notify
Angular of the change by marking the component for checking through
ChangeDetectorRef. Preserve the existing one-second interval and tick increment.

AGENT: Verdict: request changes. The source scan is solid, but the UI targets a layout that no longer exists, and the live view already shows change detection.

  1. app/src/pages/component-tree.ts:101-112 (this PR): this block goes into the old source-list panel (h4, prop-chip, selectedProviders), and none of that is on main anymore. On main, the live detail panel already shows change detection at component-tree.ts:218-219. It reads the value from Angular's runtime metadata, which is more reliable than a source scan. So please drop this block. Add one row to the source fallback's facts list instead (component-tree.ts:470-481 on main, next to "Standalone"): <dt>Change detection</dt><dd>{{ comp.changeDetection ?? 'Unknown' }}</dd>. That's the only place where the scan adds something new.
  2. packages/ng-devtools/src/component-tree.ts:29 on main maps runtime value 1 to 'Default', but this PR labels the same value Eager. If both land as they are, the live view and the source view will disagree. Please update that map to { 0: 'OnPush', 1: 'Eager' } in this PR so both views say the same thing, and add a test for value 1 in component-tree.test.ts (only 0 is covered today).
  3. app/src/pages/component-tree.ts:258-277 (this PR): the new chip styles use hard-coded hex colors. #71717a on #3f3f46 (the unknown chip) is about 2.2:1, which fails WCAG AA. Once the row is a plain <dd> as in point 1, you won't need these styles. If you keep a chip, use the tokens: @include m.soft(var(--ok)) for OnPush and var(--text-2) for the note.
  4. packages/ng-devtools/src/rpc/get-components.ts:49, 76 (this PR): main replaced the hand-rolled walk() with walkFiles() and added className, line and a v.picklist kind. After the rebase, thread major through scanComponents → componentsIn only. walk is gone, so there's nothing to change there. Keep the schema additions next to the new fields.
  5. packages/ng-devtools/src/rpc/get-components.ts:153 (this PR): the major >= 22 default logic and the tests for it look right. Nice work covering the masked-template case and the directive case. Please keep all of that through the rebase.
  6. src/app/examples/eager-clock.ts:4-8: the doc comment talks about CLAUDE.md rules. Please cut it to one line about what the example shows, for example "Eager on purpose: ticks is a plain field, so OnPush would never see it change."
  7. The PR commits rebuilt extension/ui/assets/*. Those will conflict on every rebase. Regenerate them with pnpm extension:build as the last step, after the rebase.

Needs a rebase onto main.

Review comments at @app/src/pages/component-tree.ts:
- Around line 24-25: Update the source-list detail template to render
comp.changeDetection and indicate its declared or implicit status using
comp.changeDetectionDeclared. This must show OnPush or Eager metadata when no
live page is connected, independently of the live-tree Detail.changeDetection
value.

Review comments at @packages/ng-devtools/src/rpc/get-components.ts:
- Line 154: Update the `CHANGE_DETECTION_KEY` lookup in `getComponents` to
inspect only top-level properties of the component decorator arguments, ignoring
nested matches such as properties inside `providers`; then parse the selected
top-level `changeDetection` value so nested values cannot override the component
setting.
- Around line 161-163: Update the change-detection strategy parser that uses the
OnPush, Eager, and Default checks to match complete supported values rather than
finding strategy names inside expressions. Return unknown for conditional
metadata expressions the scanner cannot evaluate, while preserving recognition
of the supported standalone names and numeric values.

Thanks, this is close. One thing left: the rebase left duplicate declarations in app/src/pages/component-tree.ts. LiveNode, Prop, Dependency, Detail and Page are each declared three times now. Please keep one copy of each. Small nit while you're there: const kind = scope.kind ?? 'component' can just be scope.kind, since the line above already returns when it's empty. After that it looks good to me.
