Excuse the clickbait title, it's a necessary evil.

This is how to start reversing any React App to grab out props, functions, API keys, any naughty corners your devs might have cut etc.

I build Chrome Extensions, which sometimes means understanding what's behind the hood before planning functionality or extracting data.

Other times, it might be hooking into a library and extending it (adding new features to a map is a great example).

I'm sharing two snippets so others can get started, too. Here's the walkthrough on YouTube:

Two Quick Demos
First: Hooking into MapLibre from console.
Second: Searching for public API keys on Zillow.

You can repurpose the code below to find and extend functions, edit components, hook into specific React component event handlers etc, all from client window.

If you're working with Next, you can drop the code directly into the client console, otherwise, you'll need to tweak one line.
