Building

The extension is implemented as a WebExtension. It is dockerized and can be built with the following command:

It creates a new folder called build which contains the zipped extension. The extension can then be loaded via the about:debugging page in Firefox and via the chrome://extensions page in Chrome.

Development

We recommend using Docker also during development. You can start the build watcher (webpack) as well as the storybook (for documenting UI components) by the following command:

Point the extension directory in Firefox/ Chrome to the build/src folder. The styleguide is available on localhost:9009
