Cross-Platform Development

Patterns for writing platform-specific code in OneKey.

Platform Extensions

Use platform extensions for platform-specific implementations:

Platform Detection

ALWAYS use platformEnv for platform detection:

// ✅ CORRECT
import platformEnv from '@onekeyhq/shared/src/platformEnv';

if (platformEnv.isNative) {
  // React Native specific code
}

if (platformEnv.isWeb) {
  // Web specific code
}

if (platformEnv.isDesktop) {
  // Desktop (Electron) specific code
}

if (platformEnv.isExtension) {
  // Browser extension specific code
}

// ❌ FORBIDDEN - Direct platform checks
if (typeof window !== 'undefined') { }
if (process.env.REACT_APP_PLATFORM === 'web') { }

Available Platform Flags

platformEnv.isNative      // React Native (iOS or Android)
platformEnv.isWeb         // Web browser
platformEnv.isDesktop     // Electron desktop app
platformEnv.isExtension   // Browser extension
platformEnv.isIOS         // iOS specifically
platformEnv.isAndroid     // Android specifically
platformEnv.isWebEmbed    // Embedded web components

Platform-Specific File Structure

MyComponent/
├── index.ts              # Main entry, common logic
├── MyComponent.tsx       # Shared component
├── MyComponent.native.tsx    # React Native specific
├── MyComponent.web.tsx       # Web specific
├── MyComponent.desktop.tsx   # Desktop specific
└── MyComponent.ext.tsx       # Extension specific

The bundler automatically resolves the correct file based on platform.

Example: Platform-Specific Storage

// storage.ts - shared interface
export interface IStorage {
  get(key: string): Promise<string | null>;
  set(key: string, value: string): Promise<void>;
}

// storage.native.ts
import AsyncStorage from '@react-native-async-storage/async-storage';

export const storage: IStorage = {
  get: (key) => AsyncStorage.getItem(key),
  set: (key, value) => AsyncStorage.setItem(key, value),
};

// storage.web.ts
export const storage: IStorage = {
  get: async (key) => localStorage.getItem(key),
  set: async (key, value) => localStorage.setItem(key, value),
};

// storage.desktop.ts
import { ipcRenderer } from 'electron';

export const storage: IStorage = {
  get: (key) => ipcRenderer.invoke('storage:get', key),
  set: (key, value) => ipcRenderer.invoke('storage:set', key, value),
};

Detailed Guide

For comprehensive cross-platform patterns and platform considerations, see cross-platform.md.

For current development tool and minimum platform versions, see platform-requirements.md. Verify version values against the referenced repository files before relying on them.

Topics covered:

• Platform extensions and file structure
• Platform detection with platformEnv
• Platform-specific imports
• Platform considerations (Extension, Mobile, Desktop, Web)
• Real-world examples
• Cross-platform checklist

Platform Considerations

Extension (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave)

• MV3/service worker lifetimes, permissions, CSP, background script limitations

Mobile (iOS/Android)

• WebView limitations, native modules, background/foreground states, deep linking

Desktop (Electron)

• Security boundaries, IPC communication, file system access

Web

• CORS restrictions, storage limitations, XSS prevention, bundle size

Checklist

• Platform-specific code uses correct file extension
• Uses platformEnv instead of direct checks
• Common logic extracted to shared files
• Tested on all target platforms
