San CLI UI combines a San‑based client, a Node.js/Express GraphQL server, and lowdb file storage, enabling custom routing, component enhancements, and a versatile plugin system—supporting widgets, configurations, tasks, and custom views—managed through ClientAddonApi and PluginManager with IPC communication.
San CLI UI provides a beginner‑friendly graphical layer for San CLI, enabling visual project, configuration, dependency, and plugin management, intuitive build task control with real‑time statistics, and customizable dashboard widgets, all built on a plugin architecture that lowers entry barriers and enhances developer productivity.
The article expands the San DevTools technical analysis by detailing how to build Chrome DevTools extensions—defining a devtools page, creating panels, and debugging them—while also covering supporting technologies such as Yarn‑workspace monorepos, TypeScript path aliases, a lightweight middleware server, message‑batching bridges, and custom SVG icon components.
Continuing the Baidu App mixed‑language guide, this article explains how EasyBox‑generated component targets (frameworks and libraries) are organized into modules, configured for Objective‑C/Swift interoperability, unit‑tested, linked across components, and packaged as binaries using module maps, build settings, and lipo merging, while recommending frameworks for smoother distribution.
San DevTools implements a four‑module remote‑debugging architecture where the Message Channel uses WebSocket to multiplex bidirectional frontend‑backend communication, Chrome extensions exchange messages via ports and postMessage, and both a custom San DevTools Protocol and the standard Chrome DevTools Protocol are supported through hook‑based agents and client examples.
This article traces Swift’s evolution, explains ABI and module stability, outlines library evolution, highlights Swift’s efficiency, safety, performance, and memory‑management advantages, reviews its adoption in major apps, assesses impact on app size and launch time, and proposes practical steps for large‑scale migration.
The first part of the San DevTools Technical Analysis series explains its dual usage (Chrome extension or npm‑based standalone), outlines the overall architecture—including frontend UI panels, backend injection, a JSON‑based remote debugging protocol, and message‑channel transport—plus core modules such as Bridge, Hook, and Agent, and demonstrates initialization and remote‑debugging flows, setting the stage for deeper protocol exploration.
This article provides an in‑depth technical walkthrough of San CLI, covering its core modules, the main and service workflows, the plugin system for commands and services, and detailed code examples such as TaskList and Service implementations, helping developers understand and extend the tool.
This article introduces San CLI, explains why a command‑line interface boosts front‑end productivity, walks through project initialization, development server, production build, remote deployment, inspection, UI, and demonstrates how to extend the tool with custom command and service plugins.
San, Baidu’s lightweight MVVM component framework launched in 2016, combines Vue‑inspired templates, high performance, tiny bundles, and IE6+ compatibility, offering server‑side rendering and a robust ecosystem, and has delivered measurable efficiency and speed gains across Baidu’s flagship web products.
