In the extension, currently we do the following: 1. check whether there's at least one React renderer on the page 2. if yes, load the backend to the page 3. initialize the backend To support multiple versions of backends, we are changing it to: 1. check the versions of React renders on the page 2. load corresponding React DevTools backends that are shipped with the extension; if they are not contained (usually prod builds of prereleases), show a UI to allow users to load them from UI 3. initialize each of the backends To enable this workflow, a backend will ignore React renderers that does not match its version This PR adds a new file "backendManager" in the extension for this purpose. ------ I've tested it on Chrome, Edge and Firefox extensions
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:
