[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/chrome-webstore-manager)
## INSTALL
`$ npm install -g chrome-webstore-manager`
## HOW TO USE
### Create new item
- `$ chrome-webstore-manager insert /path/to/your_extension.zip`
- **caution**: it requires `zip` NOT `crx`
- return value: chrome-web-store-item-id
Only this command, your items is under draft. So you should publish item. I write about it on below.
### Publish item
- `$ chrome-webstore-manager publish ITEM_ID`
- `ITEM_ID`: chrome-web-store-item-id
### Update item
- `$ chrome-webstore-manager update ITEM_ID /path/to/your_extension.zip`
- `ITEM_ID`: chrome-web-store-item-id
## Example
Sample webapp for release chrome extenison on heroku
https://github.com/pastak/chrome-extension-release-heroku
## Use on NodeJS
```js
const ChromeWebstore = require('chrome-webstore-manager')
const fileBin = fs.readFileSync('./extension.zip')
// chrome web store item id
const itemId = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
// Initialize with ClientID and ClinetSecret
const chromeWebstore = new ChromeWebstore(client_id, client_secret)
// Get authorize URL
const getCodeUrl = chromeWebstore.getCodeUrl()
const code = open_browser_and_input_authorized_code(getCodeUrl)
// Get OAuth access token
const token = chromeWebstore.getAccessToken(code)
// Create new item
chromeWebstore.insertItem(token, fileBin).then((data) => { do_something })
// Update item
chromeWebstore.updateItem(token, fileBin, itemId).then((data) => { do_something })
// Make item publish
// target is 'trustedTesters' OR 'default'. default is 'default'
const target = 'trustedTesters'
chromeWebstore.publishItem(token, itemId, target).then((data) => { do_something })
// Get new token with refresh_token
chromeWebstore.getRefreshToken(refreshToken).then(function (data) {
const json = JSON.parse(data)
const newToken = json.access_token
})
```
## More Info about token
### Get access token
- Prepare the client ID and client secret to use Chrome Web Store API according to https://developer.chrome.com/webstore/using_webstore_api#beforeyoubegin
- You can get access token via this commands.
- `$ chrome-webstore-manager token --client_id [YOUR_CLIENT_ID] --client_secret [YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET]`
- After a while, open your browser then accept Google OAuth.
### Set your access_token
- You can pass `access_token` to command.
- You can set command's optional value `-t` or `--token`
- You can set `access_token` as environment value named `WEBSTORE_TOKEN`
- If you use it on \*CI, it is useful `export WEBSTORE_TOKEN=[YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN]`
### Get access token using refresh token
- You get new access token with `$ chrome-webstore-manager refresh_token --client_id [YOUR_CLIENT_ID] --client_secret [YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET] --refresh_token [YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN]`
- You can use environment variable `WEBSTORE_REFRESH_TOKEN` instead of `refresh_token`
**Usage Example**
`$ WEBSTORE_TOKEN=$(chrome-webstore-manager refresh_token ...) chrome-webstore-manager update ITEM_ID extension.zip`
