Flipper Databases plugin for React Native

This React Native plugin allows browsing popular React Native databases using Flipper built-in Databases plugin.

Installation

yarn add -D react-native-flipper react-native-flipper-databases

Setup

iOS

No particular setup is required on iOS.

Android

Since Android already provide a built-in Databases plugin (see official docs here for more details) in order to avoid conflicts with react-native-flipper-databases it must be disabled.

Edit ReactNativeFlipper.java file under android/app/src/debug/java/<your-app-package> like this

...

import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.crashreporter.CrashReporterPlugin;
// import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.databases.DatabasesFlipperPlugin; // <- Exclude to avoid plugin conflicts
import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.fresco.FrescoFlipperPlugin;
import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.inspector.DescriptorMapping;
import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.inspector.InspectorFlipperPlugin;
import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.network.FlipperOkhttpInterceptor;
import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.network.NetworkFlipperPlugin;
import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.react.ReactFlipperPlugin;
import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.sharedpreferences.SharedPreferencesFlipperPlugin;
...

  public static void initializeFlipper(Context context, ReactInstanceManager reactInstanceManager) {
    if (FlipperUtils.shouldEnableFlipper(context)) {
      final FlipperClient client = AndroidFlipperClient.getInstance(context);

      client.addPlugin(new InspectorFlipperPlugin(context, DescriptorMapping.withDefaults()));
      client.addPlugin(new ReactFlipperPlugin());
      // client.addPlugin(new DatabasesFlipperPlugin(context)); // <- Exclude to avoid plugin conflicts
      client.addPlugin(new SharedPreferencesFlipperPlugin(context));
      client.addPlugin(CrashReporterPlugin.getInstance());
...

See facebook/flipper#1628 for more details.

Expo

When sticking to a managed Expo project, it's impossible to make the necessary modifications to the ReactNativeFlipper.java file.

@liamdawson wrote a basic plugin to automate those changes, which will ensure Expo prebuild and builds via EAS will disable the integrated Databases plugin on Android.

See @liamdawson/disable-react-native-flipper-databases-expo-plugin for more info.

Examples

To see how to implement this plugin and test how it works some examples are provided.

To run the examples:

• clone the repo

git clone https://codeberg.org/panz3r/react-native-flipper-databases.git

• bootstrap the project

yarn bootstrap

• launch one of the following scripts from the root folder

  • example:watermelon to launch the WatermelonDB example app
