WebExtension Experiment Utils

Tools for rapid development of WebExtension Experiments based on a schema.json API definition.

• generateStubApi - generates a stub api.js based on schema.json
• documentSchema - generates documentation in Markdown based on schema.json
• verifyWeeSchema - verifies that schema.json is a valid WebExtension Experiments schema

For a usage example, see the npm run generate command in ./package.json and the example files in ./example/.

Installation

npm install --save-dev motin/webext-experiment-utils#develop

Hints

1. Put all the privileged code of your add-on in src/privileged as a best practice
2. The 'Firefox privileged' modules cannot use WebExtension apis (browserAction, management, etc.). Use a background.js script (using messages and events) to co-ordinate multiple privileged modules.
