Ruslan Lesiutin 09285d5a7f refactor[devtools/extension]: refactored messaging logic across different parts of the extension (#27417)
1.
9fc04eaf3f (diff-2c5e1f5e80e74154e65b2813cf1c3638f85034530e99dae24809ab4ad70d0143)
introduced a vulnerability: we listen to `'fetch-file-with-cache'` event
from `window` to fetch sources of the file, in which we want to parse
hook names. We send this event via `window`, which means any page can
also use this and manipulate the extension to perform some `fetch()`
calls. With these changes, instead of transporting message via `window`,
we have a distinct content script, which is responsible for fetching
sources. It is notified via `chrome.runtime.sendMessage` api, so it
can't be manipulated.
2. Consistent structure of messages `{source: string, payload: object}`
in different parts of the extension
3. Added some wrappers around `chrome.scripting.executeScript` API in
`packages/react-devtools-extensions/src/background/executeScript.js`,
which support custom flow for Firefox, to simulate support of
`ExecutionWorld.MAIN`.

This is the source code for the React DevTools browser extension.

Installation

The easiest way to install this extension is as a browser add-on:

Local development

You can also build and install this extension from source.

Prerequisite steps

DevTools depends on local versions of several NPM packages1 also in this workspace. You'll need to either build or download those packages first.

1 Note that at this time, an experimental build is required because DevTools depends on the createRoot API.

To install all necessary dependencies, run the following command from the root of the repository:

yarn install

Build from source

To build dependencies from source, run the following command from the root of the repository:

yarn build-for-devtools

Download from CI

To use the latest build from CI, run the following commands starting from the root of the repository:

cd scripts/release
yarn install
./download-experimental-build.js

Build steps

Once the above packages have been built or downloaded, you can build the extension by running:

cd packages/react-devtools-extensions/

yarn build:chrome # => packages/react-devtools-extensions/chrome/build
yarn run test:chrome # Test Chrome extension

yarn build:firefox # => packages/react-devtools-extensions/firefox/build
yarn run test:firefox # Test Firefox extension

yarn build:edge # => packages/react-devtools-extensions/edge/build
yarn run test:edge # Test Edge extension
