You can use html/sample_web_extension.html as reference

#define WEB_EXTENSIONS_DIRECTORY "/usr/local/lib64/webkit/web-extensions/"

static void initialize_web_extensions (WebKitWebContext *context, gpointer user_data)
{
// Web Extensions get a different ID for each Web Process
static guint32 unique_id = 0;

webkit_web_context_set_web_extensions_directory ( context, WEB_EXTENSIONS_DIRECTORY);
webkit_web_context_set_web_extensions_initialization_user_data (context, g_variant_new_uint32 (unique_id++));
}

g_signal_connect (webContext, "initialize-web-extensions", G_CALLBACK (initialize_web_extensions), NULL);
