(Deprecated - use this extension instead) Save code to Bookmarks.dev Browser Extension

Browser extension to save code snippets to www.bookmarks.dev, the Bookmarks and Code Snippets Manager for Developers & Co.

Install

This browser extension is available for:

Chrome	Firefox

If your company blocks Browser Extensions, or you have a tight security blocking pop-up windows from extensions (Firefox blocks new windows from pages by default) you can use the our bookmarklets - snippets which offer the same functionality

How to use

Select code snippet on page AND (right click OR click the extension icon) to save it to Bookmarks.dev.

A popup window is launched where you can add additional metadata to the code snippet record.

You need to have an account to save code to your code snippets

Testing locally

Check out the git repository - git clone https://github.com/BookmarksDev/code-snippets-browser-extension

Chrome/Brave

Go to chrome://extensions/, click Load unpacked and select the code-snippets-browser-extension folder where you have checked it out:

Click "Reload" on the extension when you do modifications

Firefox

Use web-ext

The easiest way is to use web-ext You can install it globally for example via

npm install --global web-ext

and then run the following command in the root directory of the project

web-ext run

This installs "Save code to Bookmarks.dev" as a temporary add-on and it watches for changes in the source code and redeploys automatically.

Manual deployment

Go to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox, click Load Temporary Add-on... and select the manifest.json file from the code-snippets-browser-extension folder where you have checked it out:

Click "Reload" on the extension when you do modifications

Test the extension against the localhost version of Bookmarks.dev

Change the host url in the following line from launch-bookmarksdev-dialog.js:

const url = 'https://www.bookmarks.dev/my-codelets/new?sourceUrl=' + encodeURIComponent(l) + '&code=' + encodeURIComponent(d) + '&title=' + encodeURIComponent(t) + '&popup=true'

to

const url = 'http://localhost:4200/my-codelets/new?sourceUrl=' + encodeURIComponent(l) + '&code=' + encodeURIComponent(d) + '&title=' + encodeURIComponent(t) + '&popup=true'

and then Reload the extension with one of the mechanisms mentioned before

Publish browser extension to official stores

First of all zip the file either with web-ext

web-ext build -i 'resources'
