Summary: Moved all types related to plugin descriptions from plugin-lib (which handles downloads and such) to flipper-common. The goal of that is to remove all plugin-lib usage from ui-core to server-core, so that the UI itself doesn't do any file operations anymore related to plugins. That will be done in next diffs, this just moves types but no code. Reviewed By: nikoant, aigoncharov Differential Revision: D32665064 fbshipit-source-id: 86d908e7264569b0229b09290a891171876c8e00
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
