### Tips

#### Set custom value via `package.json`

If you want to fill columns (ex: `applications`) automatically, you should write `webextension` column on project's `package.json`.

Example

```js
{
"name": "hoge",
...
"webextension": {
"name": 'extension-name',
"applications": {
"gecko": {
"id": "[email protected]",
"strict_min_version": "47.0a1"
}
}
}
}
```

#### inherit value from `package.json`

When `name`, `version`, `author`, `description` or `homepage_url` is filled `inherit`, `manifest.json`'s field will be filled by same key name value from `package.json` (`homepage_url` will be filled by `homepage` in `package.json`)
