Summary: Standardize WS implementation for JS environments. Why do we need a separate server implementation for browsers? Browser targets cannot authenticate via the default certificate exchange flow. We need a dedicated client for them that works over an insecure channel (without the cert exchange). Major changes: 1. Renamed `flipper-js-client-sdk` to `js-flipper` for consistency with `react-native-flipper` 2. Updated `js-flipper` implementation to match our other existing clients Documentation will be updated in a separate subsequent PR. https://fb.quip.com/2mboA0xbgoxl Reviewed By: mweststrate Differential Revision: D31688105 fbshipit-source-id: 418aa80e0fd86361c089cf54b0d44a8b4f748efa
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.
