## Summary This pull request aims to improve the maintainability of the codebase by consolidating types and constants that are shared between the backend and frontend. This consolidation will allow us to maintain backwards compatibility in the frontend in the future. To achieve this, we have moved the shared types and constants to the following blessed files: - react-devtools-shared/src/constants - react-devtools-shared/src/types - react-devtools-shared/src/backend/types - react-devtools-shared/src/backend/NativeStyleEditor/types Please note that the inclusion of NativeStyleEditor in this list is temporary, and we plan to remove it once we have a better plugin system in place. ## How did you test this change? I have tested it by running `yarn flow dom-node`, which reports no errors.
This is the source code for the React DevTools browser extension.
Installation
The easiest way to install this extension is as a browser add-on:
Local development
You can also build and install this extension from source.
Prerequisite steps
DevTools depends on local versions of several NPM packages1 also in this workspace. You'll need to either build or download those packages first.
1 Note that at this time, an experimental build is required because DevTools depends on the createRoot API.
To install all necessary dependencies, run the following command from the root of the repository:
yarn install
Build from source
To build dependencies from source, run the following command from the root of the repository:
yarn build-for-devtools
Download from CI
To use the latest build from CI, run the following commands starting from the root of the repository:
cd scripts/release
yarn install
./download-experimental-build.js
Build steps
Once the above packages have been built or downloaded, you can build the extension by running:
cd packages/react-devtools-extensions/
yarn build:chrome # => packages/react-devtools-extensions/chrome/build
yarn run test:chrome # Test Chrome extension
yarn build:firefox # => packages/react-devtools-extensions/firefox/build
yarn run test:firefox # Test Firefox extension
yarn build:edge # => packages/react-devtools-extensions/edge/build
yarn run test:edge # Test Edge extension
