Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Chrome DevTools frontend

NPM package

The client-side of the Chrome DevTools, including all JS & CSS to run the DevTools webapp.

Source code

The frontend is available on chromium.googlesource.com.

Design Guidelines

Please be aware that DevTools follows additional development guidelines.

Workflows

In order to make changes to DevTools frontend, build, run, test, and submit changes, several workflows exist. Having depot_tools set up is a common prerequisite.

Standalone workflow

As a standalone project, Chrome DevTools frontend can be checked out and built independently from Chromium. The main advantage is not having to check out and build Chromium. However, there is also no way to run layout tests in this workflow.

Checking out source

To check out the source for DevTools frontend only, follow these steps:

mkdir devtools
cd devtools
fetch devtools-frontend
Build

To build, follow these steps:

cd devtools-frontend
gn gen out/Default
autoninja -C out/Default

The resulting build artifacts can be found in out/Default/resources/inspector.

Update to latest

To update to latest tip of tree version:

git fetch origin
git checkout origin/master
gclient sync
Run in Chromium

These steps work with Chromium 79 or later. To run the production build, use

(Requires brew install coreutils on Mac.)

<path-to-chrome>/chrome --custom-devtools-frontend=file://$(realpath out/Default/resources/inspector)

To run the debug build (directly symlinked to the original unminified source files), build both Chromium and DevTools frontend with the GN flag debug_devtools=true, and use

<path-to-chrome>/chrome --custom-devtools-frontend=file://$(realpath out/Default/resources/inspector/debug)

You can inspect DevTools with DevTools by undocking DevTools and then open the developers tools (F12 on Windows/Linux, Cmd+Option+I on Mac).

Test

Test are available by running scripts in scripts/test/.

Create a change

Usual steps for creating a change work out of the box.

Managing dependencies
  • To sync dependencies from Chromium to DevTools frontend, use scripts/deps/roll_deps.py.
  • To roll the HEAD commit of DevTools frontend into Chromium, use scripts/deps/roll_to_chromium.py.
  • To update DevTools frontend's DEPS, use roll-dep.

Chromium workflow

DevTools frontend can also be developed as part of the full Chromium checkout.

Checking out source

Follow instructions to check out Chromium. DevTools frontend can be found under third_party/devtools-frontend/src/.

Build

Refer to instructions to build Chromium. To only build DevTools frontend, use devtools_frontend_resources as build target. The resulting build artifacts for DevTools frontend can be found in out/Default/resources/inspector.

Consider building with the GN flag debug_devtools=true to symlink to the original unminified source.

Run

Run Chrome with DevTools frontend bundled:

out/Default/chrome
Test

Test are available by running scripts in third_party/devtools-frontend/src/scripts/test/. After building content shell, we can also run layout tests that are relevant for DevTools frontend:

autoninja -C out/Default content_shell
third_party/blink/tools/run_web_tests.py http/tests/devtools
Create a change

Usual steps for creating a change work out of the box, when executed in third_party/devtools-frontend/src/.

Integrate standalone checkout into Chromium

If you prefer working on a standalone checkout of DevTools frontend, but want to build, test, and run inside the full Chromium checkout. This way, you combine the best of both worlds.

Disable gclient sync for DevTools frontend inside of Chromium by editing .gclient config. From chromium/src/, simply run

vim $(gclient root)/.gclient

In the custom_deps section, insert this line:

"src/third_party/devtools-frontend/src": None,

Then run

gclient sync -D

This removes the DevTools frontend dependency. We now create a symlink to refer to the standalone checkout:

(Note that the folder names do NOT include the trailing slash)

ln -s path/to/standalone/devtools-frontend third_party/devtools-frontend/src

Running gclient sync in chromium/src/ will update dependencies for the Chromium checkout. Running gclient sync in chromium/src/third_party/devtools-frontend/src will update dependencies for the standalone checkout.

Testing

Please refer to the overview document. The current test status can be seen at the test waterfall.

Merges and Cherry-Picks

Merge request/approval is handled by Chromium Release Managers. DevTools follows The Zen of Merge Requests. In exceptional cases please get in touch with [email protected].

Step-by-step guide on how to merge:

  1. Request and receive approval to merge
  2. Backmerges are done to the chromium/xxxx (e.g. chromium/3979) branch respectively on the DevTools frontend repo
  3. Use Omahaproxy to find out what branch a major Chromium version has (column true_branch). Open the to-be-merged commit in Gerrit e.g. Example
  4. Click hamburger menu on the top right and select Cherry Pick
  5. Select branch to merge to e.g. chromium/3968
  6. Cherry Pick CL is created e.g. Example
  7. Get it reviewed if necessary
  8. Click hamburger menu on the cherry pick CL and select Submit
  9. Done

Useful Commands

git cl format --js

Formats all code using clang-format.

npm run check

Runs all static analysis checks on DevTools code.

Source mirrors

DevTools frontend repository is mirrored on GitHub.

DevTools frontend is also available on NPM as the chrome-devtools-frontend package. It's not currently available via CJS or ES2015 modules, so consuming this package in other tools may require some effort.

The version number of the npm package (e.g. 1.0.373466) refers to the Chromium commit position of latest frontend git commit. It's incremented with every Chromium commit, however the package is updated roughly daily.
