Launchpad

launchpad-screenshot

Starting

The launchpad is almost always run in conjunction with a devtool like the Debugger. If you would like to run the launchpad by itself to test something or add a feature that is possible as well by running yarn start.

The Launchpad makes it easy to build a developer tool for Firefox, Chrome, and Node.

Debugger.html and Console.html are a good examples of tools built on top of the toolbox.

Features

Dev Server - local development environment to run your tool
Webpack Base - webpack config to build on top of
Landing Page - see available connections
Bootstrap function - hook to start your tool with a debuggee connection
Configs - config system to add additional runtime configuration

Dev Server

serve an index.html root
serve JS bundles with incremental builds and hot-reloading
handle cross origin requests from the client
runs firefox's tcp-ws proxy

Example dev-server.js

toolbox.startDevServer(envConfig, webpackConfig);

Webpack Config

The webpack base config makes it easy to use the launchpad out of the box.

Features

transpiles source: strips flow types, convert async to generators
loads JSON files for L10N strings and Configs
loads SVGs for inlining assets
ignore modules that should be excluded (fs)
CSS & JS hot reloading
map shimmed modules to privileged modules when bundling for the panel
bundles CSS into one file when building for the panel

Here's an example tool webpack.config.js.

Landing Page

The Landing Page shows the available Chrome, Firefox, and Node tabs to debug.

Features

shows available connections
has tools title
sets up L10N
loads the light and dark themes

Screenshot

Bootstrap function

The bootstrap function starts the launchpad and provides a connection hook for doing post-connect setup with the debuggee connection.

Features

checks for a connection id i.e. firefox-tab=child1/tab1
gets available tabs
connects to a debuggee tab
renders either the Landing Page or tool root component

bootstrap(React, ReactDOM, App, actions, store)
  .then(conn => onConnect(conn, actions));

Configs

The launchpad has a config system for adding runtime configs.

Features

target configs - firefox, chrome, node configuration
feature flags toggle features in the build
themes - enable light, dark
hot-reloading - toggle hot Reloading
logging - enable different logging support
environments - different configs for development, ci, panel
