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.

The package exports the absolute path to the directory containing the frontend assets.

const frontendPath = require('@react-native/debugger-frontend');

// Pass frontendPath to a static server, etc

Source code for this package lives in the facebookexperimental/rn-chrome-devtools-frontend repo. See below for how we build and check in changes.

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.

# 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 facebookexperimental/rn-chrome-devtools-frontend.
