Summary: *Stack summary*: this stack refactors plugin management actions to perform them in a dispatcher rather than in the root reducer (store.tsx) as all of these actions has side effects. To do that, we store requested plugin management actions (install/update/uninstall, star/unstar) in a queue which is then handled by pluginManager dispatcher. This dispatcher then dispatches all required state updates. *Diff summary*: refactored "uninstall plugin" operation to perform it in pluginManager dispatcher Reviewed By: mweststrate Differential Revision: D26166198 fbshipit-source-id: d74a1d690102d9036c6d3d8612d2428f5ecef4e6
flipper-plugin
flipper-plugin is the dependency used by all modern Flipper plugins (project "Tommy").
For background: https://fb.quip.com/YHOGAnaPqAVJ
flipper-plugin is to be used as dev and peer dependency of all Flipper plugins. It provides:
- (TODO) Standard API's to interact with Flipper, such as the client connection.
- (TODO) Standard components to organize the UI
- (TODO) Testing utilities
API's provided by flipper-plugin are documented at fbflipper.com (TODO).
There should normally be no need to install flipper-plugin as dependency.
Rather, plugins should be scaffolded using npx flipper-pkg init (TODO) as documented here
