About Basalt
Basalt is an editor extension designed for React Native and Expo software development within VS Code and Cursor. It converts active mobile application previews into interactive canvases inside the code editor. Developers can hover over running UI elements to map them directly to components and source line numbers, or click elements on the canvas to adjust text, dimensions, positioning, and visual styling. Edits update the project's source files in place while keeping formatting and code structure intact. Basalt also includes a marketplace for sharing developer and artist assets such as shaders, button textures, and app templates.
