Working beautifully here. Tested on a MediaWiki setup using the latest macos x64 build of Chrome and the latest version of Vale CLI. It'd be great to somehow set the location of the style using a UI in the extension's settings, overriding the default paths—right now that's the biggest hurdle for non-technical users.
On Fedora, I see this error:
$ vale host-install chrome

@aireilly, this should be fixed now. If you're so inclined, you can try building from the v3
branch to confirm.
vale host-install chrome
Yup worked a treat thanks.
I'm now here:
┌───── ~
$ vale ls-dirs
Asset | Default Location | Found
StylesPath | /home/aireilly/.local/share/vale/styles | ✓
.vale.ini | /home/aireilly/.config/vale/.vale.ini | ✓
vale-native | /home/aireilly/.config/vale/native/vale-native | ✓
Did you set that StylesPath
in the .vale.ini
?
If you don't set one, it will use the default. Otherwise, you'll need to create it as usual.
Ah Ok. I didn't have StylesPath = .vale/styles set. I created the folder manually and it works now
Slightly confused about the global .vale.ini. Should I run vale sync
in this folder?
┌───── ~/.config/vale
$ vale ls-dirs
Asset | Default Location | Found
StylesPath | /home/aireilly/.local/share/vale/styles | ✓
.vale.ini | /home/aireilly/.config/vale/.vale.ini | ✓
vale-native | /home/aireilly/.config/vale/native/vale-native | ✓
$ cat /home/aireilly/.config/vale/.vale.ini
StylesPath = .vale/styles
MinAlertLevel = suggestion
[*.md]
# All Markdown files
BasedOnStyles = Vale
[*{github,gitlab}.com.md]
# `github.com` and `gitlab.com`
BasedOnStyles = Vale
It's just a config file that is either used in place of, or in addition to, project-specific ones:
So, you can treat it as you would any other .vale.ini
file.
Just gave it a try (latest macos arm64 build) and everything works great 👍

@theletterf, not sure I understand this. Do you mean the location of a .vale.ini
file? Or specifically the StylesPath
value?
@jdkato It'd be great if the Vale ini was somehow stored in the extension itself, or could be selected using the system UI. That would spare users from creating the file in the default path.
Hi there! What's the current status? Can we help with something?
Are the extension sources planned to be on github too?
Looking forward too try this out once Firefox support lands.
The status hasn't changed much lately. I'll probably work on getting the extension out as-is and then work on adding/improving features in later releases.
Love the idea. That way, I can get the team at Splunk to test it out.
I also took a quick test today, couple of thoughts / questions:
To be more useful, it would be good to figure out how to do line decorations inline. I am investigating how to do this via attempting to update the Vale Obsidian extension and some other projects so I may find out how to do this. Other extensions do, so it's possible…
This is obviously a matter of taste, but I dislike this functionality. When every writing extension feels the need to inject styling into the page it often means that (1) you can't use them together and (2) it interferes will built-in corrections (such as are present in Gmail, for example). The solution here isn't clear to me, short of making this opt-in.
I'd also like to try and make a version for other browsers.
I have it working in Firefox and Arc locally. I just need to publish to the stores.
The first release of Vale's new Chrome extension has been published to the Chrome Web Store (it will also soon be available for Firefox, Opera, and Edge).
The extension is currently unlisted and I'm looking for help testing it before going completely public.
Installation
vale host-install chrome
from the command-line.Configuration
The extension uses your default
.vale.ini
file for its configuration. Runvale ls-dirs
to see its exact location on your system.The contents of the active
textarea
or[contenteditable]
are passed as paths taking the form of<domain>.<format>
-- for example,github.com.md
.You can set the format for a particular website in the extension's settings (see Usage below).
This allows you to both write configuration targeting specific websites or use the typical
[*.ext]
sections:Usage
After editing text in either a
textarea
or[contenteditable]
element, click the extension's icon.Uninstallation
vale host-uninstall chrome
from the command line.
