## Architecture

2015-12-21 01:25:45 +01:00
## Development
```bash
npm install
```
2016-07-01 03:44:37 +02:00
### Developing on UI Only
You can run `npm run ui` , and your browser should open a live-reloading demo version of the plugin UI.
Some actions will crash the app, so this is only for tuning aesthetics, but it allows live-reloading styles, which is a much faster feedback loop than reloading the full extension.

### Developing with Gulp
We're using an experimental version of `gulp-cli` , so if you have the old version of gulp, you'll need to uninstall it, `npm uninstall -g gulp` , and install this one instead:
```bash
npm install gulpjs/gulp-cli#4.0 -g
```
After that, you can just:
```bash
gulp dev
```

### In Chrome
Open `Settings` > `Extensions` .
2016-02-08 21:07:29 +01:00
Check "Developer mode".
2015-12-21 01:31:44 +01:00
At the top, click `Load Unpacked Extension` .
2016-02-08 21:07:29 +01:00
Navigate to your `metamask-plugin/dist` folder.
2015-12-21 01:31:44 +01:00
Click `Select` .
You now have the plugin, and can click 'inspect views: background plugin' to view its dev console.

### Developing the UI

To enjoy the live-reloading that `gulp dev` offers while working on the `web3-provider-engine` or other dependencies:
2016-03-02 21:14:23 +01:00
2016-03-02 21:48:15 +01:00
1. Clone the dependency locally.
2016-03-02 21:14:23 +01:00
2. `npm install` in its folder.
3. Run `npm link` in its folder.
2016-03-02 21:48:15 +01:00
4. Run `npm link $DEP_NAME` in this project folder.
2016-03-14 10:21:07 +01:00
5. Next time you `gulp dev` it will watch the dependency for changes as well!

### Running Tests
Requires `mocha` installed. Run `npm install -g mocha` .
2016-04-18 20:41:29 +02:00
Then just run `npm test` .
You can also test with a continuously watching process, via `npm run watch` .
2016-04-14 00:46:39 +02:00
2016-06-21 21:07:13 +02:00
You can run the linter by itself with `gulp lint` .
2016-04-14 00:46:39 +02:00
### Deploying the UI
2016-03-22 18:43:56 +01:00
You must be authorized already on the Metamask plugin.
0. Update the version in `app/manifest.json` and the Changelog in `CHANGELOG.md` .
1. Visit [the chrome developer dashboard ](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/dashboard?authuser=2 ).
2. Zip the `dist` folder in this repository.
3. Upload that zip file as the updated package.
