Development
The code for the extensions is in the src/ directory, and can be built into a
browser extension by running:
make build
Once this is done you should be able to load the build/ directory as an
unpacked extension.
The extension code has a test suite, which you can run using:
make test
Note that the browser extensions are for the most part just a wrapper around the
Hypothesis client. Depending on what you're interested in working on,
you may need to check out the client repository too. If you do that, you can get
the browser extension repository to use your checked-out client repository by
running
yarn link
in the client repository, and then
yarn link hypothesis
in the browser-extension repository. After that, a call to make build will use the
built client from the client repository. Please consult the client's
documentation for instructions on building the client in a development
environment.
Tip: To unlink your dev browser extension from your dev client run
yarn unlink hypothesis in your browser extension directory
(see the yarn uninstall docs).
