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 Codever 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 save-code-to-bookmarks.dev-browser-extension folder where you have checked it out:

Test the extension against the localhost version of Codever

Change the following line in launch-codever-dialog.js:

open('https://www.codever.dev/new-entry?url=' + encodeURIComponent(l) + '&desc=' + encodeURIComponent(d) + '&title=' + encodeURIComponent(t) + '&popup=true', 'Codever.dev', features);

to

open('http://localhost:4200/personal/new?url=' + encodeURIComponent(l) + '&desc=' + encodeURIComponent(d) + '&title=' + encodeURIComponent(t) + '&popup=true', 'Codever.dev', features);

and Reload the extension
