Usage

You can download the extension on the Chrome webstore for all chromium based browsers, and on the Mozilla store for Firefox. If you don't want to go through a store, a pre-built version is located in this repo at /dist/raw

Building the extension

All the source code is present in this repository. You need Node & npm (or Yarn). It's been tested on node 12.18.1 and npm 6.14.5.

First, install the node_modules:

npm install

Then run the build script:

npm run build

The build script does three things:

(prebuild) Download the css from mediapart.fr and transform it to get a css file that contains the dark theme (in src/generateCSS/newMediapart.css)
(build) Build with webpack & babel the content script and the background script, and copy the manifest.json into /dist/raw.
(postbuild) zip the extension with web-ext and output it in /dist/mediapart_mod-x.x.x.zip

Development

Once the repo is cloned and the node_modules are installed, there are two things to work on.

CSS generation

The dark theme is generated procedurally. The following command launches the generation:

npm run gen-css

Browser extension

Once the CSS has been generated, you can start the dev server:

npm start

It will build it to /build. You need to point your browser to this location when installing the extension on it. While the dev server is running, it should rebuild/update the extension/refresh the pages automatically on every file change.
