## Development

### Building

The build process is done through Gulp.

```bash

$ gulp build

```

The `watch` command automatically re-builds the sources on change:

```bash

$ gulp watch

```

The generated files are located in the `build` folders. To load the build folder into the browser, do the following:

#### Firefox

You can follow this guide to install a WebExtension temporarily: https://developer.mozilla.org/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Temporary_Installation_in_Firefox

#### Chrome

Follow this guide https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted#unpacked and select the `build` folder.

## Release

To create a zipped release package of the extension that can be uploaded to one of the stores, run

```bash

$ gulp release

```

## Fetching an updated Emoji list

Our Emoji list is taken from the [gemoji project](https://github.com/github/gemoji) (https://api.github.com/emojis). Whenever GitHub updates their list of Emoji, you can run

```bash

$ gulp fetch-images

$ gulp sprite

```

to download the updated images and generate a new sprite.
