Introduction

When you interact with a ZUL page built in MVVM approach, ZK does lots of things behind the scenes according to binding expressions. If you want to know what it does in detail, you can turn on debugging information printing described in ZK_Developer's_Reference/MVVM/Configuration. But this configuration will print messages on the server's console, and it is system-wide, which means debugging information of all pages will be printed and it will be hard to read.

Therefore, we present you a tool: ZK BindingTracker. It's a Chrome extension that can be installed on your Chrome browser. It can display the debugging information for the current ZUL page in pretty format. When you click on a logging text, it will also highlight the related UI components.
