Summary: Performance fine tuning. Did some performance fine-tuning primarily by creating a production build, and verifying the responsiveness of searching, tailing etc in the logs plugin while generating a lot of load, and finetuned based on that. For example stopped using requestAnimationFrame which is too sensitive of starving Flipper under high load, as it doesn't leave room for other events to be processed. Also made scrolling smoother by making an append 'high prio' update while taililng. Also debounced changing the (search) filters, as that is an expensive operation we don't want to trigger on every key press Reviewed By: passy Differential Revision: D27046726 fbshipit-source-id: c3efe59eb26e2d9e518325d85531a0e4a6b245ca
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
