📦 Installation

We love Deno and you should too

cd ./tapmytab
deno install --allow-scripts
deno task dev

⚡️ Getting the dev extension to work locally

The deno task dev script will generate a dist/ dir which you can load it to the chrome extension. See Instruction
If you have load unpacked the dist/ into your chrome://extensions/ now you can open a new tab and override the tab with the dev extension. Any changes will trigger the hot-reload

or simply run localhost:5173 if you're lazy (cards won't persist though)

🚢 Build & Publish

Bump the version first on: deno.json, manifest.json, and manifest.firefox.json then

# build for chrome & firefox
deno task zip

Chrome Web Store: upload tapmytab-chrome.zip at chrome developer dashboard

Firefox Add-ons: upload tapmytab-firefox.zip at addons.mozilla.org/developers

Note: the Firefox build swaps in manifest.firefox.json after the Chrome build, so always produce the Firefox zip with zip:firefox (not by hand) to get the right manifest.
