Installing on Firefox

The "published" version

1. https://stackoverflow.com/c/expensify/questions/7053/7054#7054

From the Source Code (for development or for external contributors)

1. Open up this page in firefox: about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox
2. Click Load temporary add-on
3. Select the dist/manifest.json file in this repo (really any file within the dist should work) more info
4. Go to https://github.com/Expensify/App#k2 Note: If this doesn't load you may need to run npm run build within the root of the repo to ensure all files have been generated properly (we don't save all of the dist directory to the repo).

NOTE: It Requires a Personal Access token

Your personal access token is stored locally and securely. It is used to make basic auth calls to the GitHub API. This is so that we don't have to implement OAuth or a separate API and we can get around a lot of the rate limiting issues.

1. Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens
2. Generate a new token
3. Give it full permission to notifications, repo and user
4. Use that token when signing in to the KSv2 dashboard

Installing this repo

git clone git@github.com:Expensify/k2-extension.git
cd k2-extension
npm i
npm run web

Developing

There are three NPM tasks to use with this project. All files are output to the dist folder.

1. npm run web - Run this when doing development. It will watch files and run all code standardizing tasks whenever the files are saved. It will build all the JS code together in an unminified version for easier debugging.
2. npm run build - This will also build all the JS code together but it won't watch files, it will minify the output, and will exit when finished.
3. npm run package - This will bundle up the files in the /dist directory into a file dist.zip which can be used to submit to the Chrome Store.

In order to test your changes, you need to have the extension loaded into Chrome from your local folder.

1. In Chrome, go to chrome://extensions
2. Make sure you have Developer Mode selected at the top
3. Click on Load Unpacked Extension
4. Select the dist folder in this repo
5. Now the extension should be installed and enabled
6. Go to https://github.com/Expensify/App#k2 and you should see the extension working

Caution When Using the Publicly Installed Extension

Sometimes it is necessary to install and enable the public version of the extension. You want to take care not to have both the public extension and the local extension enabled at the same time. It will make everything run twice and you'll get a lot of DOM conflicts, plus API calls will run twice so you'll hit rate limits faster.

Creating your PR

Be sure to do the following before pushing up your branch:

1. Bump the version number in assets/manifest.json (use major.minor.patch version scheme)
2. Bump the version number in package.json and package-lock.json to match
3. Add a new change log entry in CHANGELOG.md

Publishing

Note: Publishing KSv2 requires ring3 access. If you are not in ring 3 or below, tag your issue with the ring3 label to assign a deployer.

To publish a new version of this extension, you should follow these steps:

1. Make sure the version number was bumped in assets/manifest.json (use major.minor.patch version scheme)
2. Make sure the version number in package.json matches
3. Make sure a new change log entry was added in CHANGELOG.md
4. Run npm run build to output the minified code in the /dist directory
5. Run npm run package which will generate a dist.zip file
