Codever Browser Extension
---
Browser extension to easily save bookmarks, code snippets or notes from the web to [www.codever.dev](https://www.codever.dev),
the Bookmarks, Snippets and Notes Manager for Developers & Co.
## Install
This browser extension is available for:
| [](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/codever/diofdblfhjbpgackifolmboaiccmebjb) | [](https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/codever/)
|:---:|:---:|
| [Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/codever/diofdblfhjbpgackifolmboaiccmebjb)| [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/codever/)
> If you can't use Browser Extensions, or you have a tight security blocking pop-up windows from extensions
> (**Firefox blocks new windows from pages by default**) you can use [our bookmarklet](https://www.codever.dev/howto/bookmarklet)
> which offer the same functionality
## How to use
**Right click** OR **click the extension icon** to save as bookmark, snippet or note to [Codever](https://www.codever.dev)
- if you make a selection on the web page you will be asked to save as new **snippet**, **bookmark** or **note**
- when bookmarking youtube videos and stackoverflow questions the **tags** are auto-completed
### Save bookmark
### Save snippet
## Testing locally
Check out the git repository - `git clone https://github.com/CodeverDotDev/codever-browser-extension.git`
## Chrome/Brave
Go to [chrome://extensions/](chrome://extensions/), click **Load unpacked** and select the `codever-browser-extension`
where you have checked it out:
> Click "Reload" on the extension when you do modifications
### Firefox
#### Use [web-ext](https://github.com/mozilla/web-ext)
The easiest way is to use [web-ext](https://github.com/mozilla/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](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`](https://github.com/CodeverDotDev/codever) version of Codever
Change the following line in [launch-codever-dialog.js](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
## Publish browser extension to official stores
First of all zip the file either with `web-ext`
```
web-ext build -i 'resources' 'assets' 'README.md' 'CHANGELOG.md'
## with overwrite
web-ext build --overwrite-dest -i 'resources' 'assets' 'README.md' 'CHANGELOG.md'
```
or with the _standard_ `zip` command:
```shell
zip -r codever.browser.extension-4.0.0.zip * -x *.idea* *.git* '*resources/*' '*assets/*' "*README.md*" "*CHANGELOG.md*" '*web-ext-artifacts/*'
```
### Publish to Google Chrome Webstore
Go to [Chrome Webstore Dashboard](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/dashboard) where
you upload the .zip file. Wait for a couple of business days for an approval.
### Publish to [Firefox Webstore](https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/publish/)
Go to [Add-ons page](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/addons) and submit the new addon
