Example extensions

확장앱 개발하는 방법을 설명하기 위해 간단한 예제를 저장해놓은 저장소를 두고 있다 https://github.com/mdn/webextensions-examples. 이번장에서는 해당 저장소에서 사용되는 WebExtension API에 대해 설명한다.

여기에 나오는 예제는 Firefox Nightly에서 동작한다. 대부분은 이전 버전에서도 동작하지만 확장앱의 manifest.json에서 strict_min_version 키를 확인한다.

이 예제를 실행해보려면 세가지 방법이 있다.

레파지토리를 클론한뒤 소스 디렉토리를 "Load Temporary Add-on"기능으로 로드한다. 확장앱은 Firefox를 재시작하기 전까지 로드되어있다.
레파지토리를 클론한뒤 web-ext 커멘드 라인 툴을 이용해서 확장앱을 Firefox에 설치한다.
레파지토리를 클론한뒤 빌드 디렉토리로 이동한다. 여기에는 빌드된 예제들이 있으므로 Firefox에서 (파일 / 파일 열기를 사용해) 파일을 열고 addons.mozilla.org에서 설치하는것 처럼 영구적으로 설치할 수 있습니다.

레파지토리에 공헌하려한다면 pull request를 보내면 된다
