Import order of jotai-devtools causes atoms to not show up in devtools

[BryceMehring]

If jotai-devtools is not imported before createStore is called the atoms will not show up in the devtools. This happens in version 0.12.0, version 0.11.0 doesn't have this issue. Is there a way to make this more intuitive?

Ensure jotai-devtools is imported before createStore. For me I had another file creating my store which didn't handle loading the devtools so the store got created before the devtools could override it.

Thank you @BryceMehring!

We recently changed how the Jotai store works with DevTools and wanted to make the migration easier for users. This side effect is a result of that change. I'm open to suggestions, but I believe the best solution might be to allow users to pass the result of composeWithDevtools as a prop to <DevTools />.

Since this would be a breaking change, we’ll likely address it in a future version. I don’t have much bandwidth to work on it this quarter, but I’d be happy to collaborate with anyone interested in helping 🙏 .
