Proposal feature - Filtering states

[PaulRosset]

Hello,

As a everyday user of the redux-dev-tools, I will find very useful to have a filter feature on state.

I'm explaining myself, sometimes when you are working on a large application with big states, it quickly become a mess to find what you need in the redux store, particularly when you don't know well the project at the beginning.
You will pass a couple of minutes of waste on inspecting the store to find the variable you want, even if you have a correct understanding of the project, a new variable in the state can be added by an other mate in the team and you will again pass few minutes to inspect and find what you are looking for.

To answer this problem, I created a small proof of concept here.

I created an example of a big state, and then done a little search engine to find easily and quickly the variable in the state.
The proof of concept is here to give you a first idea :)

I'm waiting for your opinions all :)

Thanks for looking into it. This feature was requested many times.

I see your POC is using react-json-view. Our monitors however are based in react-json-tree which also supports filtering. It's actually already implemented in redux-devtools-filterable-log-monitor. We didn't include it in the extension as it would store everything on client part through monitor reducer, but we can support that if necessary. If you want to implement that functionality for redux-devtools-inspector that would be much appreciated, so we'll not need to switch between monitors, having all features into one.

We're moving all the parts into redux-devtools monorepo and better to look there for contributing.
