Flipper Desktop

This folder contains everything to run the Flipper 'Desktop', that is, the UI which you use to interact with the device / app under debug.

Packages provided here:

  • flipper-common: utilities & types shared between client, server, flipper-plugin
  • flipper-server-core: all device & client management goes in here. Basically flipper's backend
  • flipper-ui-core: all UI goes in here, as far as it doesn't depend on Electron
  • flipper-ui-electron: the Electron app, will load server-core and ui-core, and glue them together, providing implementations for some electron * specific stuff like dialgos
  • flipper-server: A node process hosting flipper-server-core, that can be connected to over websockets. And probably can serve a browser version of the UI as well.
  • flipper-ui-browser: thin wrapper around flipper-ui-core, providing some browser specific behavior / stubs.
  • flipper-dump: (might remove later), but want to hack a quick and dirt flipper dump in here, as alternative way to test flipper-server-core.
  • flipper-plugin: The flipper SDK used by plugins. Exposes all API's that can be used by plugins
  • pkg: CLI tool to manage building flipper plugins
  • pkg-lib
  • plugin-lib
  • babel-transformer
  • doctor
  • eslint-plugin-flipper
