Summary: Introducing a base abstract class (blegh) to share some life cycle management between Device- and normal plugins. Cleaned up the test utils a bit as well + some old TODO's that now have been taken care of Reviewed By: nikoant Differential Revision: D22727089 fbshipit-source-id: 507816f1bfdbc6e7e71d4bd365b881b6710ca917
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
