Summary: This change brings in Folly and Boost into our solution. Boost is resolved with NuGet. Folly is resolved by re-using the RNW integration. For reference: Flipper depends on Folly. Folly depends on a few things: - Boost - FMT - Glog - Double-Conversion Folly from RNW uses some stubs to resolve fmt, glog, and double-conversion. That's OK. Only Boost needs resolving. On Visual Studio, we can use the following package managers: NuGet and vcpkg. Boost can be resolved using either. Using NuGet as otherwise vcpkg needs to be run locally by anybody wanting to build the solution. NuGet makes things easier.

react-native-flipper
This package exposes JavaScript bindings to talk from React Native JavaScript directly to flipper.
This package might also be required by other Flipper plugins for React Native.
Installation
Run the following command in the root of your React Native project
yarn add react-native-flipper
Note that this package requires React Native 0.62 or higher.
Usage
How to build Flipper plugins is explained in the flipper documentation: Creating a Flipper plugin. Building a Flipper plugin involves building a plugin for the Desktop app, and a plugin that runs on a Device (Native Android, Native IOS or React Native). This package is only needed for the plugin that runs on the mobile device, in React Native, and wants to use the JavaScript bridge.
This package exposes one method: addPlugin.
The addPlugin accepts a plugin parameter, that registers a client plugin and will fire the relevant callbacks if the corresponding desktop plugin is selected in the Flipper Desktop. The full plugin API is documented here.
Example
An example plugin can be found in FlipperTicTacToe.js.
The corresponding Desktop plugin ships by default in Flipper, so importing the above file and dropping the <FlipperTicTacToe /> component somewhere in your application should work out of the box.
The sources of the corresponding Desktop plugin can be found here.
