Development

I'm using Webpack to bundle all the necessary modules of the extension.

Prerequisites

• node
• Chrome/Firefox
• Spotify developer account

Setup

1. Clone this repository.
2. Install all the dependencies by running yarn install.
3. Run webpack with yarn start. This will watch for file changes.

• In Chrome, go to Extensions > Load Unpacked and load the build/ directory.
• In Firefox, install the node package web-ext and execute web-ext build/.

5. To build the bundle, enter yarn build. This will create the zipped bundle in dist/.
