For Developers
All commands need to be run in the extension
directory
Setup
- Install dependencies
npm install
Development
- Open one terminal and run
npm run dev
- This runs webpack and reloads the bundle on every file change.
- Open a second terminal and run
npm start
- This starts Firefox Nightly with the plugin installed and reloads the plugin on every file change.
- Alternatively, run
npm run start:ff
to use regular Firefox
- If you want to use Chrome for the development you can load an unpacked extension pointing to the
build
directory. Make sure to reload the extension after every file change.
Debugging
- When using Firefox I suggest opening the Browser Console with the shortcut
CTRL + Shift + J
- Make sure to click the Cog Icon and enable Show Content Messages. This makes the log statements from the code show up in the console.
Build
npm run build
