          React Devtools don't contain DOM-specific functionality.



          Currently selected React element is available as $r temporary variable in console. In case DOM button element is selected, click event can be triggered with:



          $r.click()


          React elements can be inspected in React Devtools. If onClick prop is provided, it can be saved to temporary variable (Store as global variable) and called from console:



          $tmp()

          • I think it should be $r.click (no parentheses).
