This reverts #19603. Before: <img width="724" alt="Screenshot 2024-08-28 at 12 07 29 AM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0613088f-c013-4f1c-92c3-fbdae8c1f109"> After: <img width="771" alt="Screenshot 2024-08-28 at 12 08 13 AM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/eef21bee-d11f-4f0a-9147-053a163f720f"> Consensus seems to be that while the purple on is a bit clearer and easier to read. The purple is not on brand so it doesn't look like React. It looks ugly. It's distracting (too eye catching). Taking away attention from other tabs in an unfair way. It also gets worse with more tabs added. We plan on both adding another tab and panes inside other tabs (elements/sources) soon. Each needs to be marked somehow as part of React but spelling it out is too long. Putting inside a second tab means two clicks and takes away real-estate from our extension and doesn't solve the problem with extension panes in other tabs. We also plan on adding multiple different tracks to the Performance tab which also needs a name other than just React and spelling out React as a prefix is too long. The Emoji is too distracting. So it seems best to uniformly apply the symbol - albeit it might just look like a dot to many. Dark mode looks close to on brand: <img width="1089" alt="Screenshot 2024-08-28 at 12 32 50 AM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7175a540-4241-4c26-9e4d-4d367873af57">
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
