Localfile system links WebExtension (first test project)

Todos:

• add test folder + webserver for test cases (later, for now I'm starting the test server in a separate working copy)
• Icon adding not working properly
• Native message installer required (later, batch file for development OK)
• Check why native messaging is not working at the moment
• Create Extension settings page - options.html (uses Vue for view handling)
• Add "addon bar" icon to display activity of Extension on current tab
• Implement localization

Build Setup

# install dependencies
npm install

# serve with hot reload at localhost:8080
npm run dev

# build for production with minification
npm run build

For detailed explanation on how things work, consult the docs for vue-loader.

Extension testing in browser

Install native app

Go to src\host\ and run install_host. This will register the native app in your system-

Manually starting

Run npm run dev, open Firefox and enter about:debugging in url bar and load dist\manifest.json Extension.

With Web-ext CLI

Install web-ext with npm install --global web-ext.

And run web-ext run in dist folder to start FF nightly with the Extension temporarily enabled.
