grunt-browser-extension

Grunt plugin to create any browser website extension

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5, jpm and imagemagick installed on your system

To install imagemagick you can run next command (OSx):

brew install imagemagick

npm install -g jpm

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-browser-extension --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-browser-extension');

The "browser_extension" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named browser_extension to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  browser_extension: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
  },
});

Options

grunt.initConfig({
  browser_extension: {
     default: {
        options: {
           variables: {
               id: 'com.browser.extension', // required application id for Safari and Firefox
               name: 'Browser extension', // required application name
               version: '0.1.0', // required application version

           },
           files: {
               inject: {
                   directory: 'application', // path to your application files
                   javascripts: ['app.min.js', 'extension.js'], // list of js files relative to application directory
                   stylesheets: ['styles.css', 'module.css'] // list of css files relative to application directory
               },

           }
        }
       }
  },
});
