Better for you to have https://nodejs.org/download/ (v10+) installed on your computer to use the development tooling.

Hit the Clone or download button above to get a copy of the source code. Then run these commands in a terminal:

Then load the unpacked extension or temporary module in your browser by typing a special URL:

Firefox Chrome
about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox chrome://extensions/

The browser will ask you to locate the manifest.json file.

After being loaded, any change in the source code will be taken in account immediately ⚠️ except background page code — which requires to hit the related Refresh or Reload button in the extension panel.

Chrome Dev Tools will help you debugging by displaying errors or the various state change of the playback.

Testing

Tests partially assert the code works as expected. You can check on your own:

$ npm test

If you don't think about it, no problem, tests are automated when you contribute back your code.
