Provide React development build for plugin developers

Open lavocatt opened this issue 1 month ago • 0 comments

When developing OpenShift Console plugins, having access to React DevTools Profiler is valuable for performance debugging. Currently, plugin developers must build their own development version of the console.

Proposal

Add a Dockerfile.react-dev and latest-react-dev image tag that builds with NODE_ENV=development to enable React Profiler.

Benefits

  • Easier onboarding for plugin developers
  • Consistent dev environment across teams
  • Documented pattern for development builds

Implementation

I have a working implementation ready to submit as a PR if the team is interested.

Questions

  • Is this something the team wants to maintain?
  • Should this be in the official repo or developer-owned?
  • Any concerns about CI/build complexity?
  • Alternative approaches preferred?

Thanks for your help!
