Brian Vaughn 63b86e1995 Disable unsupported Bridge protocol version dialog and add workaround for old protocol operations format (#24093)
Rationale: The only case where the unsupported dialog really matters is React Naive. That's the case where the frontend and backend versions are most likely to mismatch. In React Native, the backend is likely to send the bridge protocol version before sending operations– since the agent does this proactively during initialization.

I've tested the React Native starter app– after forcefully downgrading the backend version to 4.19.1 (see #23307 (comment)) and verified that this change "fixes" things. Not only does DevTools no longer throw an error that causes the UI to be hidden– it works (meaning that the Components tree can be inspected and interacted with).

react-devtools-core

A standalone React DevTools implementation.

This is a low-level package. If you're looking for the Electron app you can run, use react-devtools package instead.

API

react-devtools-core

This is similar requiring the react-devtools package, but provides several configurable options. Unlike react-devtools, requiring react-devtools-core doesn't connect immediately but instead exports a function:

const { connectToDevTools } = require("react-devtools-core");
connectToDevTools(config);

Run connectToDevTools() in the same context as React to set up a connection to DevTools.
Be sure to run this function before importing e.g. react, react-dom, react-native.

The config object may contain:

  • host: string (defaults to "localhost") - Websocket will connect to this host.
  • port: number (defaults to 8097) - Websocket will connect to this port.
  • useHttps: boolean (defaults to false) - Websocket should use a secure protocol (wss).
  • websocket: Websocket - Custom websocket to use. Overrides host and port settings if provided.
  • resolveRNStyle: (style: number) => ?Object - Used by the React Native style plug-in.
  • retryConnectionDelay: number (defaults to 2000) - Milliseconds delay to wait between retrying a failed Websocket connection.
  • isAppActive: () => boolean - If provided, DevTools will poll this method and wait until it returns true before connecting to React.

react-devtools-core/standalone

Renders the DevTools interface into a DOM node.

require("react-devtools-core/standalone")
  .setContentDOMNode(document.getElementById("container"))
  .setStatusListener(status => {
    // This callback is optional...
  })
  .startServer(port);

Renders DevTools interface into a DOM node over SSL using a custom host name (Default is localhost).

const host = 'dev.server.com';
const options = {
  key: fs.readFileSync('test/fixtures/keys/agent2-key.pem'),
  cert: fs.readFileSync('test/fixtures/keys/agent2-cert.pem')
};


require("react-devtools-core/standalone")
  .setContentDOMNode(document.getElementById("container"))
  .setStatusListener(status => {
    // This callback is optional...
  })
  .startServer(port, host, options);

Reference the react-devtools package for a complete integration example.

Development

Watch for changes made to the backend entry point and rebuild:

yarn start:backend

Watch for changes made to the standalone UI entry point and rebuild:

yarn start:standalone
