Requirements

• Bash (cause there's some .sh scripts, otherwise you can't do npm run build, but can still do npm run dev)
• Latest version of Node.js

Development

• npm install - Installs all dependencies
• npm run dev - This will run the webpack watcher and automatically pack /src/background.js and its dependencies to /extension
• npm run lint - Runs the eslinter for JS files
• npm test - Runs the test suite located in /test
• npm run build - Builds the Firefox (.xpi) and Chrome (.zip) builds

Testing

1. Run npm install (if you haven't already)
2. Run npm run dev
3. Load the extension in the browser

• Firefox

  • Easiest way would be to run the tool web-ext
  • Another way is go into about:debugging and load /extension/manifest.json

• Chrome

  • In the extension tab, enable Developer Mode, then load unpacked extension and load the /extension folder

Building

1. Run npm install (if you haven't already)
2. Run npm run build
3. The build files should be in a new folder called /builds
