Prototypes for add-ons that serve as a gateway from browser to Webmaker.
Working on the project just requires a web server that serves
static files from the root of the repository. If you don't have
one, try python -m SimpleHTTPServer, or if you like node use
http-server.
If you want to develop offline, add ?bin=offline to the end of
your URL. This will prevent the app from syncing with Firebase.
That said, some things that require a network connection, like
Google Fonts, won't work.
A number of configuration defaults are contained in
require-config.js. If you want to change these, make a file
alongside it called require-config.local.js. Any changes you make
to configuration variables/objects in this file will take effect
before the app initializes.
An HTML screenshot service used to render a user's creation to a PNG
is located in the htmlshot directory. See htmlshot/README.md for
more details.
An experimental Firefox add-on that embeds this tool in a sidebar is
located in the addon directory.
To develop on it, install the Add-on SDK, activate it, and run the following from the root directory of this repository:
export WEBMAKER_ADDON_IFRAME_URL=http://localhost:8080/
cd addon
cfx runThe above assumes your static web server is running on port 8080. If it's
not, change WEBMAKER_ADDON_IFRAME_URL accordingly.
You can also run the add-on's test suite with cfx test.
