## Summary - #26234 is reverted and replaced with a better approach - introduce a new global devtools variable to decouple the global hook's dependency on backend/console.js, and add it to react-devtools-inline and react-devtools-standalone With this PR, I want to introduce a new principle to hook.js: we should always be alert when editing this file and avoid importing from other files. In the past, we try to inline a lot of the implementation because we use `.toString()` to inject this function from the extension (we still have some old comments left). Although it is no longer inlined that way, it has became now more important to keep it clean as it is a de facto global API people are using (9.9K files contains it on Github search as of today). **File size change for extension:** Before: 379K installHook.js After: 21K installHook.js 363K renderer.js
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
