remix-debug wrap other remix-* libraries and can be used to debug Ethereum transactions.

## Installation


```bash
npm install remix-debug
```

## Development

```javascript
var Debugger = require('remix-debug').EthDebugger
var BreakpointManager = require('remix-debug').EthDebugger

var debugger = new Debugger({
  compilationResult: () => {
    return compilationResult // that helps resolving source location
  }
})

debugger.addProvider(web3, 'web3')
debugger.switchProvider('web3')

var breakPointManager = new remixCore.code.BreakpointManager(this.debugger, (sourceLocation) => {
    // return offsetToLineColumn
})
debugger.setBreakpointManager(breakPointManager)
breakPointManager.add({fileName, row})
breakPointManager.add({fileName, row})

debugger.debug(<tx_hash>)

// this.traceManager.getCurrentCalledAddressAt

debugger.event.register('newTraceLoaded', () => {
  // start doing basic stuff like retrieving step details
  debugger.traceManager.getCallStackAt(34, (error, callstack) => {})
})

debugger.callTree.register('callTreeReady', () => {
  // start doing more complex stuff like resolvng local variables
  breakPointManager.jumpNextBreakpoint(true)
  
  var storageView = debugger.storageViewAt(38, <contract address>, 
  storageView.storageSlot(0, (error, storage) => {})
  storageView.storageRange(error, storage) => {}) // retrieve 0 => 1000 slots

  debugger.extractStateAt(23, (error, state) => {
    debugger.decodeStateAt(23, state, (error, decodedState) => {})
  })
  
  debugger.sourceLocationFromVMTraceIndex(<contract address>, 23, (error, location) => {
    debugger.decodeLocalsAt(23, location, (error, decodedlocals) => {})
  })
  
  debugger.extractLocalsAt(23, (null, locals) => {})
  
})
```

## Library

Provides:

```javascript
{
    code: {
        CodeManager: CodeManager,
        BreakpointManager: BreakpointManager
    },
    storage: {
        StorageViewer: StorageViewer,
        StorageResolver: StorageResolver
    },
    trace: {
        TraceManager: TraceManager
    }
}
```
      

TraceManager is a convenient way to access a VM Trace and resolve some value from it.

`TraceManager()` :

`function resolveTrace(stepIndex, tx)`

`function init(stepIndex, tx)`

`function inRange(stepIndex, tx)`

`function isLoaded(stepIndex, tx)`

`function getLength(stepIndex, tx)`

`function accumulateStorageChanges(stepIndex, tx)`

`function getAddresses(stepIndex, tx)`

`function getCallDataAt(stepIndex, tx)`

`function getCallStackAt(stepIndex, tx)`

`function getStackAt(stepIndex, tx)`

`function getLastCallChangeSince(stepIndex, tx)`

`function getCurrentCalledAddressAt(stepIndex, tx)`

`function getContractCreationCode(stepIndex, tx)`

`function getMemoryAt(stepIndex, tx)`

`function getCurrentPC(stepIndex, tx)`

`function getReturnValue(stepIndex, tx)`

`function getCurrentStep(stepIndex, tx)`

`function getMemExpand(stepIndex, tx)`

`function getStepCost(stepIndex, tx)`

`function getRemainingGas(stepIndex, tx)`

`function getStepCost(stepIndex, tx)`

`function isCreationStep(stepIndex, tx)`

`function findStepOverBack(stepIndex, tx)`

`function findStepOverForward(stepIndex, tx)`

`function findStepOverBack(stepIndex, tx)`

`function findNextCall(stepIndex, tx)`

`function findStepOut(stepIndex, tx)`

`function checkRequestedStep(stepIndex, tx)`

`function waterfall(stepIndex, tx)`
