# @react-native/debugger-frontend
![npm package](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/@react-native/debugger-frontend?color=brightgreen&label=npm%20package)
Debugger frontend for React Native based on Chrome DevTools.
This package is internal to React Native and is intended to be used via [`@react-native/dev-middleware`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@react-native/dev-middleware).
## Usage
The package exports the absolute path to the directory containing the frontend assets.
```js
const frontendPath = require('@react-native/debugger-frontend');
// Pass frontendPath to a static server, etc
```
## Contributing
### Source repo
Source code for this package lives in the [facebook/react-native-devtools-frontend](https://github.com/facebook/react-native-devtools-frontend) repo. See below for how we build and check in changes.
### Updating the frontend assets
The compiled assets for the debugger frontend are periodically checked into this package under the `dist/` folder. To update these, run `node scripts/debugger-frontend/sync-and-build` from the root of your `react-native` checkout.
```sh
# For main
node scripts/debugger-frontend/sync-and-build --branch main
# For stable branches (e.g. '0.73-stable')
node scripts/debugger-frontend/sync-and-build --branch 0.73-stable
```
By default, this will clone and build from [facebook/react-native-devtools-frontend](https://github.com/facebook/react-native-devtools-frontend).
