 Derpi-New Tab


A simplistic "New tab" page replacement for Google Chrome and Firefox which features pony wallpapers from [Derpibooru.org](http://derpibooru.org/).

 


 


## Build instructions

1. Install the latest version of Node.js and NPM for your platform

2. Execute `npm ci` in the root directory

3. Execute `npm run postintall` in the root directory

4. Execute `npm run build` in the root directory

After this, the contents of the `derpinewtab` folder is the build output. Additionally, a zip file is created in the root folder named `derpinewtab.zip`, which gets uploaded to the extension hosting sites.

Sometimes `node-7z-archive` can fail to install binaries, in which case step 2 will fail with an error similar to this:

> Error: spawn (…)\node_modules\node-7z-archive\binaries\win32\7za.exe ENOENT

In this case the build actually succeeded, and only the final zipping step failed. You can simply use the contents of the `derpinewtab` folder and/or zip it manually using your favourite tool.

### Explanation

For a one-time build, simply install the dependencies using `npm ci` then execute `npm run postintall` which will copy the necessary 3rd-party code to the `derpinewtab/js/vendor` directory, then finally run `npm run build` which will create a zip archive containing the extension code.

The files generated by this script are tied to the source files, so they are in the repository's `.gitignore` to prevent them from being committed.
