pdd-client

This repository contains the code for the client to the PDD server. The client currently takes the form of a Chrome extension, which is written in Javascript ES6.

Build

To build the extension, you will need Node ≥10.9.0 and Yarn.

First clone the repository:

git clone git@github.com:pddisense/pdd-client.git && cd pdd-client

Then build and test the extension:

yarn install
yarn build
yarn test

An unpacked Chrome extension will be generated in the dist/chrome directory. You can then load it in your browser by going to chrome://extensions, toggling the "Developer mode" switch and then clicking on the "Load unpacked" button. Then point to the content of the dist/chrome directory.
