DevTools extensions

DevTools extensions are developer tools provided by third-party packages that are tightly integrated into the DevTools tooling suite. Extensions are distributed as part of a pub package, and they are dynamically loaded into DevTools when a user is debugging their app.

If your app depends on a package that provides a DevTools extension, the extension automatically shows up in a new tab when you open DevTools.

You need to manually enable the extension before it loads for the first time. Make sure the extension is provided by a source you trust before enabling it.

Extension enablement states are stored in a devtools_options.yaml file in the root of the user's project (similar to analysis_options.yaml). This file stores per-project (or optionally, per user) settings for DevTools.

If this file is checked into source control, the specified options are configured for the project. This means that anyone who pulls a project's source code and works on the project uses the same settings.

If this file is omitted from source control, for example by adding devtools_options.yaml as an entry in the .gitignore file, then the specified options are configured separately for each user. Since each user or contributor to the project uses a local copy of the devtools_options.yaml file in this case, the specified options might differ between project contributors.
