Aria Templates JSDeminifier

===========================

This repo is a fork of [Javascript Deminifier Firefox add-on](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/javascript-deminifier/).

The only thing this adds on top of the original add-on is the **support for Aria Templates multipart files**. It can be useful for you

if you want to debug Aria Templates applications that are deployed in a packaged (minified) mode.

If the AT multipart file (a proprietary format to carry JS and AT templates in one file) is served with the

HTTP `Content-Type` response header typical to JavaScript files (which is not recommended by the way), deminifying it with JSD usually

results in parsing errors of the multipart -- hence it is basically impossible to activate JSD on the websites using minified version of AT.

When using ATJSD instead of original JSD, the JS parts of the multipart it will be split and deminified properly,

and TPL files will be left intact.

Since the add-on is configurable, you can also deminify AT multiparts which are served with different `Content-Type` (see below).

Installation

============

1. Uninstall JSDeminifier before you install ATJSD.

2. Clone this repo (`git clone https://github.com/jakub-g/atjsd`) to a `C:\atjsd\` / `~/atjsd/` etc.

3. Go to the folder, ZIP its contents and rename it to `atjsd.xpi`

4. Drag & drop the XPI file into the Firefox window, and confirm installation.

5. Restart Firefox.

Usage & Configuration

=====================

Once installed, there'll be a toggle button in your status bar (ATJSD ON / OFF), togglable per each tab.

The extension only runs for files that have HTTP `Content-Type` header matching

the values from `extensions.jsdeminifier.contenttypes` in `about:config`

(default is `text/javascript, application/javascript, application/x-javascript`).

Contributions

=============

Contributions are welcome. Note that any generic improvement proposals to JSD should be opened

[in the original repo](https://github.com/benmmurphy/jsdeminifier_xpi). Open issues and pull requests

to the current repo only it they concern Aria Templates files handling.

See the "hacking on this add-on" section to install the add-on in dev mode, so you can tweak the add-on without

redeploying and restarting the browser.

Changes you do in the add-on's JS code should be reflected instantly in the browser once you refresh the page.

Note once again that only files with certain HTTP response headers are minified. If your **JS file is served as `text/plain`**

(e.g. from `raw.github.com`), it **won't be deminified**.

For quick testing, you may e.g. create from command line a throwaway server (`localhost:8000`) in current folder with

`python -m SimpleHTTPServer` / `python -m http.server` (Python 2/3 respectively).

Hacking on this add-on

======================

1. Uninstall JSDeminifier before you install ATJSD.

2. Clone this repo (`git clone https://github.com/jakub-g/atjsd`) to a `C:\atjsd\` / `~/atjsd/` etc.

3. Locate your profile folder (open `about:support` page in Firefox, find **Profile Folder** -> **Show Folder** button).

4. In `$profileFolder/extensions/` folder, create a text file named `[email protected]`

and put there the path from step 2, with trailing slash, without trailing whitespace.

5. Restart Firefox and confirm installation.

JSDeminifier original readme

============================

uses the javascript beautifier from jsbeautifier.org to beautify all http responses with the mime type text/javascript or application/javascript.
