Introduction

Welcome to Plug! An Internet Computer crypto wallet and authentication provider as a browser extension. Find our latest version in this repository's releases, or on our website. You can go to our documentation to learn more about how to interact with Plug as a developer.

This repository is the frontend for Plug's browser extension. It uses the Plug Controller and the Plug Inpage Provider to power the features in Plug and all its interactions with the Internet Computer.

🚀 Install

Plug can be installed in two ways. You can get it from the official Chrome Extension Store or the Firefox Add-on Store (recommended, receives auto-updates):

• Get from Chrome Extension Store (Chrome, Brave, Chromium)
• Get from Firefox Add-on Store (Firefox browser)

Or download the latest version's build in this repository's releases, and follow the guides below for a manual installation (doesn't auto-update):

• Install Plug in Chrome (GitHub build)
• Install Plug in Firefox (GitHub build)

🏗️ Development Quick Start

Ensure you have

• Node.js 10 or later installed
• Yarn v1 or v2 installed

You need a personal access token to install some of our npm packages.

The token must have the repo and read:packages scopes to login to the GitHub Package Registry.

If you don't have one, create the personal access token in the developer settings.

Run the following command to authenticate, using the personal access token as your password:

npm login --registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com --scope=@psychedelic

Then run the following:

• yarn install to install dependencies.
• yarn run dev:chrome to start the development server for chrome extension
• yarn run dev:firefox to start the development server for firefox addon
• yarn run dev:opera to start the development server for opera extension
• yarn run build:chrome to build chrome extension
• yarn run build:firefox to build firefox addon
• yarn run build:opera to build opera extension
• yarn run build builds and packs extensions all at once to extension/ directory

Development

• yarn install to install dependencies.

• To watch file changes in development

  • Chrome
    • yarn run dev:chrome
  • Firefox
    • yarn run dev:firefox
  • Opera
    • yarn run dev:opera

• Load extension in browser

• Chrome

  • Go to the browser address bar and type chrome://extensions
  • Check the Developer Mode button to enable it.
  • Click on the Load Unpacked Extension… button.
  • Select your extension’s extracted directory.

• Firefox

  • Load the Add-on via about:debugging as temporary Add-on.
  • Choose the manifest.json file in the extracted directory

• Opera

  • Load the extension via opera:extensions
  • Check the Developer Mode and load as unpacked from extension’s extracted directory.

Production

• yarn run build builds the extension for all the browsers to extension/BROWSER directory respectively.

Note: By default the manifest.json is set with version 0.0.0. The webpack loader will update the version in the build with that of the package.json version. In order to release a new version, update version in package.json and run script.

If you don't want to use package.json version, you can disable the option here.

Generating browser specific manifest.json

Update source/manifest.json file with browser vendor prefixed manifest keys

{
  "__chrome__name": "SuperChrome",
  "__firefox__name": "SuperFox",
  "__edge__name": "SuperEdge",
  "__opera__name": "SuperOpera"
}

if the vendor is chrome this compiles to:

{
  "name": "SuperChrome",
}

---

Add keys to multiple vendors by separating them with | in the prefix

{
  __chrome|opera__name: "SuperBlink"
}

if the vendor is chrome or opera, this compiles to:

{
  "name": "SuperBlink"
}
