## Summary
This PR improves the Trace Updates feature by letting developers see
component names directly on the update overlay. Before this change, the
overlay only highlighted updated regions, leaving it unclear which
components were involved. With this update, you can now match visual
updates to their corresponding components, making it much easier to
debug rendering performance.
### New Feature: Show component names while highlighting
When the new **"Show component names while highlighting"** setting is
enabled, the update overlay display the names of affected components
above the rectangles, along with the update count. This gives immediate
context about what’s rendering and why. The preference is stored in
local storage and synced with the backend, so it’s remembered across
sessions.
### Improvements to Drawing Logic
The drawing logic has been updated to make the overlay sharper and
easier to read. Overlay now respect device pixel ratios, so they look
great on high-DPI screens. Outlines have also been made crisper, which
makes it easier to spot exactly where updates are happening.
> [!NOTE]
> **Grouping Logic and Limitations**
> Updates are grouped by their screen position `(left, top coordinates)`
to combine overlapping or nearby regions into a single group. Groups are
sorted by the highest update count within each group, making the most
frequently updated components stand out.
> Overlapping labels may still occur when multiple updates involve
components that overlap but are not in the exact same position. This is
intentional, as the logic aims to maintain a straightforward mapping
between update regions and component names without introducing
unnecessary complexity.
### Testing
This PR also adds tests for the new `groupAndSortNodes` utility, which
handles the logic for grouping and sorting updates. The tests ensure the
behavior is reliable across different scenarios.

commit.
There are 2 issues:
1. We've been recording timeline events, even if Timeline Profiler was
not supported by the Host. We've been doing this for React Native, for
example, which would significantly regress perf of recording a profiling
session, but we were not even using this data.
2. Currently, we are generating component stack for every state update
event. This is extremely expensive, and we should not be doing this.
We can't currently fix the second one, because we would still need to
generate all these stacks, and this would still take quite a lot of
time. As of right now, we can't generate a component stack lazily
without relying on the fact that reference to the Fiber is not stale.
With `enableOwnerStacks` we could populate component stacks in some
collection, which would be cached at the Backend, and then returned only
once Frontend asks for it. This approach also eliminates the need for
keeping a reference to a Fiber.
Stacked on https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/31131. See last
commit.
This is a clean-up and a pre-requisite for next changes:
1. `ReloadAndProfileConfig` is now split into boolean value and settings
object. This is mainly because I will add one more setting soon, and
also because settings might be persisted for a longer time than the flag
which signals if the Backend was reloaded for profiling. Ideally, this
settings should probably be moved to the global Hook object, same as we
did for console patching.
2. Host is now responsible for reseting the cached values, Backend will
execute provided `onReloadAndProfileFlagsReset` callback.

What is happening here:
1. Once Agent is destroyed, unsubscribe own listeners and bridge
listeners.
2. [Browser extension only] Once Agent is destroyed, unsubscribe
listeners from BackendManager.
3. [Browser extension only] I've discovered that `backendManager.js`
content script can get injected multiple times by the browser. When
Frontend is initializing, it will create Store first, and then execute a
content script for bootstraping backend manager. If Frontend was
destroyed somewhere between these 2 steps, Backend won't be notified,
because it is not initialized yet, so it will not unsubscribe listeners
correctly. We might end up duplicating listeners, and the next time
Frontend is launched, it will report an issues "Cannot add / remove node
...", because same operations are emitted twice.
To reproduce 3 you can do the following:
1. Click reload-to-profile
2. Right after when both app and Chrome DevTools panel are reloaded,
close Chrome DevTools.
3. Open Chrome DevTools again, open Profiler panel and observe "Cannot
add / remove node ..." error in the UI.

Stacked on https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/30566 and whats under
it. See [this
commit](https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/30596/commits/374fd737e4b0b7028afb765838db7c0e22def865).
It is mostly copying code from one place to another and updating tests.
With these changes, for every console method that we patch, there is
going to be a single applied patch:
- For `error`, `warn`, and `trace` we are patching when hook is
installed. This guarantees that component stacks are going to be
appended even if browser DevTools are not opened. We pay some price for
it, though: if user has browser DevTools closed and if at this point
some warning or error is emitted (logged), the next time user opens
browser DevTools, they are going to see `hook.js` as the source frame.
Unfortunately, ignore listing from source maps is not applied
retroactively, and I don't know if its a bug or just a design
limitations. Once browser DevTools are opened, source maps will be
loaded and ignore listing will be applied for all emitted logs in the
future.
- For `log`, `info`, `group`, `groupCollapsed` we are only patching when
React notifies React DevTools about running in StrictMode. We unpatch
the methods right after it.
Right now we are patching console 2 times: when hook is installed
(before page is loaded) and when backend is connected. Because of this,
even if user had `appendComponentStack` setting enabled, all emitted
error and warning logs are not going to have component stacks appended.
They also won't have component stacks appended retroactively when user
opens browser DevTools (this is when frontend is initialized and
connects to backend).
This behavior adds potential race conditions with LogBox in React
Native, and also unpredictable to the user, because in order to get
component stacks logged you have to open browser DevTools, but by the
time you do it, error or warning log was already emitted.
To solve this, we are going to only patch console in the hook object,
because it is guaranteed to load even before React. Settings are going
to be synchronized with the hook via Bridge, and React DevTools Backend
Host (React Native or browser extension shell) will be responsible for
persisting these settings across the session, this is going to be
implemented in a separate PR.
The current state is that `rendererInterface`, which contains all the
backend logic, like generating component stack or attaching errors to
fibers, or traversing the Fiber tree, ..., is only mounted after the
Frontend is created.
For browser extension, this means that we don't patch console or track
errors and warnings before Chrome DevTools is opened.
With these changes, `rendererInterface` is created right after
`renderer` is injected from React via global hook object (e. g.
`__REACT_DEVTOOLS_GLOBAL_HOOK__.inject(...)`.
Because of the current implementation, in case of multiple Reacts on the
page, all of them will patch the console independently. This will be
fixed in one of the next PRs, where I am moving console patching to the
global Hook.
This change of course makes `hook.js` script bigger, but I think it is a
reasonable trade-off for better DevX. We later can add more heuristics
to optimize the performance (if necessary) of `rendererInterface` for
cases when Frontend was connected late and Backend is attempting to
flush out too many recorded operations.
This essentially reverts https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/26563.
Both for browser extension, and for React Native (as part of
`react-devtools-core`) `Store` is initialized before the Backend (and
`Agent` as a part of it):
https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/bac33d1f82d9094b45d6f662dd7fa895abab8bce/packages/react-devtools-extensions/src/main/index.js#L111-L113
Any messages that we send from `Store`'s constructor are ignored,
because there is nothing on the other end yet. With these changes,
`Agent` will send `backendInitialized` message to `Store`, after which
`getBackendVersion` and other events will be sent.
Note that `isBackendStorageAPISupported` and `isSynchronousXHRSupported`
are still sent from `Agent`'s constructor, because we don't explicitly
ask for it from `Store`, but these are used.
This the pre-requisite for fetching settings and unsupported renderers
reliably from the Frontend.
This lets us get from a HostInstance to the nearest DevToolsInstance
without relying on `findFiberByHostInstance` and
`fiberToDevToolsInstanceMap`. We already did the equivalent of this for
Resources in HostHoistables.
One issue before was that we'd ideally get away from the
`fiberToDevToolsInstanceMap` map in general since we should ideally not
treat Fibers as stateful but they could be replaced by something else
stateful in principle.
This PR also addresses Virtual Instances. Now you can select a DOM node
and have it select a Virtual Instance if that's the nearest parent since
the parent doesn't have to be a Fiber anymore.
However, the other reason for this change is that I'd like to get rid of
the need for the `findFiberByHostInstance` from being injected. A
renderer should not need to store a reference back from its instance to
a Fiber. Without the Synthetic Event system this wouldn't be needed by
the renderer so we should be able to remove it. We also don't really
need it since we have all the information by just walking the commit to
collect the nodes if we just maintain our own Map.
There's one subtle nuance that the different renderers do. Typically a
HostInstance is the same thing as a PublicInstance in React but
technically in Fabric they're not the same. So we need to translate
between PublicInstance and HostInstance. I just hardcoded the Fabric
implementation of this since it's the only known one that does this but
could feature detect other ones too if necessary. On one hand it's more
resilient to refactors to not rely on injected helpers and on hand it
doesn't follow changes to things like this.
For the conflict resolution I added in #30494 I had to make that
specific to DOM so we can move the DOM traversal to the backend instead
of the injected helper.
Stacked on #30842.
This adds a filter to be able to exclude Components from a certain
environment. Default to Client or Server.
The available options are computed into a dropdown based on the names
that are currently used on the page (or an option that were previously
used). In addition to the hardcoded "Client". Meaning that if you have
Server Components on the page you see "Server" or "Client" as possible
options but it can be anything if there are multiple RSC environments on
the page.
"Client" in this case means Function and Class Components in Fiber -
excluding built-ins.
If a Server Component has two environments (primary and secondary) then
both have to be filtered to exclude it.
We don't show the option at all if there are no Server Components used
in the page to avoid confusing existing users that are just using Client
Components and wouldn't know the difference between Server vs Client.

I noticed that there is a delay due to the inspection being split into
one part that gets the attribute and another eval that does the
inspection. This is a bit hacky and uses temporary global names that are
leaky. The timeout was presumably to ensure that the first step had
fully propagated but it's slow. As we've learned, it can be throttled,
and it isn't a guarantee either way.
Instead, we can just consolidate these into a single operation that
by-passes the bridge and goes straight to the renderer interface from
the eval.
I did the same for the viewElementSource helper even though that's not
currently in use since #28471 but I think we probably should return to
that technique when it's available since it's more reliable than the
throw - at least in Chrome. I'm not sure about the status of React
Native here. In Firefox, inspecting a function with source maps doesn't
seem to work. It doesn't jump to original code.
Stacked on #30625 and #30657.
This ensures that we only create instances during the commit
reconciliation and that we don't create unnecessary instances for things
that are filtered or not mounted. This ensures that we also can rely on
the reconciliation to do all the clean up. Now everything is created and
deleted as a pair in the same pass.
Previously we were including unfiltered components in the owner stack
which probably doesn't make sense since you're intending to filter them
everywhere presumably. However, it also means that those links were
broken since you can't link into owners that don't exist in the parent
tree.
The main complication is the component filters. It relied on not
unmounting the old instances. I had to update some tests that asserted
on ids that are now shifted.
For warnings/errors tracking I now restore them back into the pending
set when they unmount. Basically it puts them back into their
"pre-commit" state. That way when they remount they’re still there.
For restoring the current selection I use the tracked path mechanism
instead of relying on the id being unchanged. This is better anyway
because if you filter out the currently selected item it's better to
select the nearest match instead of just losing the selection.
Same principle as #30555. We shouldn't be throttling the UI to make it
feel less snappy. Instead, we should use back-pressure to handle it.
Normally the browser handles it automatically with frame aligned events.
E.g. if the thread can't keep up with sync updates it doesn't send each
event but the next one. E.g. pointermove or resize.
However, it is possible that we end up queuing too many events if the
frontend can't keep up but the solution to this is the same as mentioned
in #30555. I.e. to track the last message and only send after we get a
response.
I still keep the throttle to persist the selection since that affects
the disk usage and doesn't have direct UX effects.
The main motivation for this change though is that lodash throttle
doesn't rely on timers but Date.now which makes it incompatible with
most jest helpers which means I can't write tests against these
functions properly.
Stacked on #30491.
When going from DOM Node to select a component or highlight a component
we find the nearest mounted ancestor. However, when multiple renderers
are nested there can be multiple ancestors. The original fix#24665 did
this by taking the inner renderer if it was an exact match but if it
wasn't it just took the first renderer.
Instead, we can track the inner most node we've found so far. Then get
the ID from that node (which will be fast since it's now a perfect
match). This is a better match.
However, the main reason I'm doing this is because the old mechanism
leaked the `Fiber` type outside the `RendererInterface` which is
supposed to abstract all of that. With the new algorithm this doesn't
leak.
I've tested this with a new build against the repro in the old issue
#24539 and it seems to work.
Stacked on #30490.
This is in the same spirit but to clarify the difference between what is
React Native vs part of any generic Host. We used to use "Native" to
mean three different concepts. Now "Native" just means React Native.
E.g. from the frontend's perspective the Host can be
Highlighted/Inspected. However, that in turn can then be implemented as
either direct DOM manipulation or commands to React Native. So frontend
-> backend is "Host" but backend -> React Native is "Native" while
backend -> DOM is "Web".
Rename NativeElementsPanel to BuiltinElementsPanel. This isn't a React
Native panel but one part of the surrounding DevTools. We refer to Host
more as the thing running React itself. I.e. where the backend lives.
The runtime you're inspecting. The DevTools itself needs a third term.
So I went with "Builtin".
I need to start clarifying where things are really actually Fibers and
where they're not since I'm adding Server Components as a separate type
of component instance which is not backed by a Fiber.
Nothing in the front end should really know anything about what kind of
renderer implementation we're inspecting and indeed it's already not
always a "Fiber" in the legacy renderer.
We typically refer to this as a "Component Instance" but the front end
currently refers to it as an Element as it historically grew from the
browser DevTools Elements tab.
I also moved the renderer.js implementation into the `backend/fiber`
folder. These are at the same level as `backend/legacy`. This clarifies
that anything outside of this folder ideally shouldn't refer to a
"Fiber".
console.js and profilingHooks.js unfortunately use Fibers a lot which
needs further refactoring. The profiler frontend also uses the term
alot.
There are not so many changes, most of them are changing imports,
because I've moved types for UI in a single file.
In https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/27357 I've added support for
pausing polling events: when user inspects an element, we start polling
React DevTools backend for updates in props / state. If user switches
tabs, extension's service worker can be killed by browser and this
polling will start spamming errors.
What I've missed is that we also have a separate call for this API, but
which is executed only once when user selects an element. We don't
handle promise rejection here and this can lead to some errors when user
selects an element and switches tabs right after it.
The only change here is that this API now has
`shouldListenToPauseEvents` param, which is `true` for polling, so we
will pause polling once user switches tabs. It is `false` by default, so
we won't pause initial call by accident.

Fixes https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/26500
## Summary
- No more using `clipboard-js` from the backend side, now emitting
custom `saveToClipboard` event, also adding corresponding listener in
`store.js`
- Not migrating to `navigator.clipboard` api yet, there were some issues
with using it on Chrome, will add more details to
https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/26539
## How did you test this change?
- Tested on Chrome, Firefox, Edge
- Tested on standalone electron app: seems like context menu is not
expected to work there (cannot right-click on value, the menu is not
appearing), other logic (pressing on copy icon) was not changed
## Summary
This pull request aims to improve the maintainability of the codebase by
consolidating types and constants that are shared between the backend
and frontend. This consolidation will allow us to maintain backwards
compatibility in the frontend in the future.
To achieve this, we have moved the shared types and constants to the
following blessed files:
- react-devtools-shared/src/constants
- react-devtools-shared/src/types
- react-devtools-shared/src/backend/types
- react-devtools-shared/src/backend/NativeStyleEditor/types
Please note that the inclusion of NativeStyleEditor in this list is
temporary, and we plan to remove it once we have a better plugin system
in place.
## How did you test this change?
I have tested it by running `yarn flow dom-node`, which reports no
errors.

This pull request emit the trace update events `drawTraceUpdates` with
the trace frame information when the trace update drawer runs outside of
web environment. This allows React Devtool running in mobile or other
platforms have a chance to render such highlights and provide similar
feature on web to provide re-render highlights. This is a feature needed
for identifying unnecessary re-renders.

I tested this change with Flipper desktop app running against mobile
app, and verified that the event with correct array of frames are
passing through properly.
The old version of prettier we were using didn't support the Flow syntax
to access properties in a type using `SomeType['prop']`. This updates
`prettier` and `rollup-plugin-prettier` to the latest versions.
I added the prettier config `arrowParens: "avoid"` to reduce the diff
size as the default has changed in Prettier 2.0. The largest amount of
changes comes from function expressions now having a space. This doesn't
have an option to preserve the old behavior, so we have to update this.
This setting is an incremental path to the next Flow version enforcing
type annotations on most functions (except some inline callbacks).
Used
```
node_modules/.bin/flow codemod annotate-functions-and-classes --write .
```
to add a majority of the types with some hand cleanup when for large
inferred objects that should just be `Fiber` or weird constructs
including `any`.
Suppressed the remaining issues.
Builds on #25918
# Summary
* This PR adds support for persisting certain settings to device
storage, allowing e.g. RN apps to properly patch the console when
restarted.
* The device storage APIs have signature `getConsolePatchSettings()` and
`setConsolePatchSettings(string)`, in iOS, are thin wrappers around the
`Library/Settings` turbomodule, and wrap a new TM that uses the `SharedPreferences` class in Android.
* Pass device storage getters/setters from RN to DevTools'
`connectToDevtools`. The setters are then used to populate values on
`window`. Later, the console is patched using these values.
* If we receive a notification from DevTools that the console patching
fields have been updated, we write values back to local storage.
* See https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/34903
# How did you test this change?
Manual testing, `yarn run test-build-devtools`, `yarn run prettier`,
`yarn run flow dom`
## Manual testing setup:
### React DevTools Frontend
* Get the DevTools frontend in flipper:
* `nvm install -g react-devtools-core`, then replace that package with a
symlink to the local package
* enable "use globally installed devtools" in flipper
* yarn run start in react-devtools, etc. as well
### React DevTools Backend
* `yarn run build:backend` in react-devtools-core, then copy-paste that
file to the expo app's node_modules directory
### React Native
* A local version of React Native can be patched in by modifying an expo
app's package.json, as in `"react-native":
"rbalicki2/react-native#branch-name"`
# Versioning safety
* There are three versioned modules to worry about: react native, the
devtools frontend and the devtools backend.
* The react devtools backend checks for whether a `cachedSettingsStore`
is passed from react native. If not (e.g. if React Native is outdated),
then no behavior changes.
* The devtools backend reads the patched console values from the cached
settings store. However, if nothing has been stored, for example because
the frontend is outdated or has never synced its settings, then behavior
doesn't change.
* The devtools frontend sends no new messages. However, if it did send a
new message (e.g. "store this value at this key"), and the backend was
outdated, that message would be silently ignored.
* Facebook -> Meta in copyright
rg --files | xargs sed -i 's#Copyright (c) Facebook, Inc. and its affiliates.#Copyright (c) Meta Platforms, Inc. and affiliates.#g'
* Manual tweaks
This information can help with bug investigation for renderers (like React Native) that embed the DevTools backend into their source (separately from the DevTools frontend, which gets run by the user).
If the DevTools backend is too old to report a version, or if the version reported is the same as the frontend (as will be the case with the browser extension) then only a single version string will be shown, as before. If a different version is reported, then both will be shown separately.
This is being done so that we can embed DevTools within the new React (beta) docs.
The primary changes here are to `react-devtools-inline/backend`:
* Add a new `createBridge` API
* Add an option to the `activate` method to support passing in the custom bridge object.
The `react-devtools-inline` README has been updated to include these new methods.
To verify these changes, this commit also updates the test shell to add a new entry-point for multiple DevTools.
This commit also replaces two direct calls to `window.postMessage()` with `bridge.send()` (and adds the related Flow types).
React currently suppress console logs in StrictMode during double rendering. However, this causes a lot of confusion. This PR moves the console suppression logic from React into React Devtools. Now by default, we no longer suppress console logs. Instead, we gray out the logs in console during double render. We also add a setting in React Devtools to allow developers to hide console logs during double render if they choose.
Add an explicit Bridge protocol version to the frontend and backend components as well as a check during initialization to ensure that both are compatible. If not, the frontend will display either upgrade or downgrade instructions.
Note that only the `react-devtools-core` (React Native) and `react-devtools-inline` (Code Sandbox) packages implement this check. Browser extensions inject their own backend and so the check is unnecessary. (Arguably the `react-devtools-inline` check is also unlikely to be necessary _but_ has been added as an extra guard for use cases such as Replay.io.)
* Restore inspect-element bridge optimizations
When the new Suspense cache was integrated (so that startTransition could be used) I removed a couple of optimizations between the backend and frontend that reduced bridge traffic when e.g. dehydrated paths were inspected for elements that had not rendered since previously inspected. This commit re-adds those optimizations as well as an additional test with a bug fix that I noticed while reading the backend code.
There are two remaining TODO items as of this commit:
- Make inspected element edits and deletes also use transition API
- Don't over-eagerly refresh the cache in our ping-for-updates handler
I will addres both in subsequent commits.
* Poll for update only refreshes cache when there's an update
* Added inline comment
DevTools was built with a fork of an early idea for how Suspense cache might work. This idea is incompatible with newer APIs like `useTransition` which unfortunately prevented me from making certain UX improvements. This PR swaps out the primary usage of this cache (there are a few) in favor of the newer `unstable_getCacheForType` and `unstable_useCacheRefresh` APIs. We can go back and update the others in follow up PRs.
### Messaging changes
I've refactored the way the frontend loads component props/state/etc to hopefully make it better match the Suspense+cache model. Doing this gave up some of the small optimizations I'd added but hopefully the actual performance impact of that is minor and the overall ergonomic improvements of working with the cache API make this worth it.
The backend no longer remembers inspected paths. Instead, the frontend sends them every time and the backend sends a response with those paths. I've also added a new "force" parameter that the frontend can use to tell the backend to send a response even if the component hasn't rendered since the last time it asked. (This is used to get data for newly inspected paths.)
_Initial inspection..._
```
front | | back
| -- "inspect" (id:1, paths:[], force:true) ---------> |
| <------------------------ "inspected" (full-data) -- |
```
_1 second passes with no updates..._
```
| -- "inspect" (id:1, paths:[], force:false) --------> |
| <------------------------ "inspected" (no-change) -- |
```
_User clicks to expand a path, aka hydrate..._
```
| -- "inspect" (id:1, paths:['foo'], force:true) ----> |
| <------------------------ "inspected" (full-data) -- |
```
_1 second passes during which there is an update..._
```
| -- "inspect" (id:1, paths:['foo'], force:false) ---> |
| <----------------- "inspectedElement" (full-data) -- |
```
### Clear errors/warnings transition
Previously this meant there would be a delay after clicking the "clear" button. The UX after this change is much improved.
### Hydrating paths transition
I also added a transition to hydration (expanding "dehyrated" paths).
### Better error boundaries
I also added a lower-level error boundary in case the new suspense operation ever failed. It provides a better "retry" mechanism (select a new element) so DevTools doesn't become entirely useful. Here I'm intentionally causing an error every time I select an element.
### Improved snapshot tests
I also migrated several of the existing snapshot tests to use inline snapshots and added a new serializer for dehydrated props. Inline snapshots are easier to verify and maintain and the new serializer means dehydrated props will be formatted in a way that makes sense rather than being empty (in external snapshots) or super verbose (default inline snapshot format).
* Improve DevTools editing interface
This commit adds the ability to rename or delete keys in the props/state/hooks/context editor and adds tests to cover this functionality. DevTools will degrade gracefully for older versions of React that do not inject the new reconciler rename* or delete* methods.
Specifically, this commit includes the following changes:
* Adds unit tests (for modern and legacy renderers) to cover overriding props, renaming keys, and deleting keys.
* Refactor backend override methods to reduce redundant Bridge/Agent listeners and methods.
* Inject new (DEV-only) methods from reconciler into DevTools to rename and delete paths.
* Refactor 'inspected element' UI components to improve readability.
* Improve auto-size input to better mimic Chrome's Style editor panel. (See this Code Sandbox for a proof of concept.)
It also contains the following code cleanup:
* Additional unit tests have been added for modifying values as well as renaming or deleting paths.
* Four new DEV-only methods have been added to the reconciler to be injected into the DevTools hook: overrideHookStateDeletePath, overrideHookStateRenamePath, overridePropsDeletePath, and overridePropsRenamePath. (DevTools will degrade gracefully for older renderers without these methods.)
* I also took this as an opportunity to refactor some of the existing code in a few places:
* Rather than the backend implementing separate methods for editing props, state, hooks, and context– there are now three methods: deletePath, renamePath, and overrideValueAtPath that accept a type argument to differentiate between props, state, context, or hooks.
* The various UI components for the DevTools frontend have been refactored to remove some unnecessary repetition.
This commit also adds temporary support for override* commands with mismatched backend/frontend versions:
* Add message forwarding for older backend methods (overrideContext, overrideHookState, overrideProps, and overrideState) to the new overrideValueAtPath method. This was done in both the frontend Bridge (for newer frontends passing messages to older embedded backends) and in the backend Agent (for older frontends passing messages to newer backends). We do this because React Native embeds the React DevTools backend, but cannot control which version of the frontend users use.
* Additional unit tests have been added as well to cover the older frontend to newer backend case. Our DevTools test infra does not make it easy to write tests for the other way around.
This commit adds a new tab to the Settings modal: Debugging
This new tab has the append component stacks feature and a new one: break on warn
This new feature adds a debugger statement into the console override
* Enable prefer-const rule
Stylistically I don't like this but Closure Compiler takes advantage of
this information.
* Auto-fix lints
* Manually fix the remaining callsites
DevTools previously used the NPM events package for dispatching events. This package has an unfortunate flaw though- if a listener throws during event dispatch, no subsequent listeners are called. I've replaced that event dispatcher with my own implementation that ensures all listeners are called before it re-throws an error.
This commit replaces that event emitter with a custom implementation that calls all listeners before re-throwing an error.
