hive-chrome

Work in progress.

This is a fork of hive-js adapted as a Chrome extension. Main development happens in the original hive-js repo.

Development

Grab the source

git clone git@github.com:hivewallet/hive-chrome.git
cd hive-chrome
npm install

Running the extension locally with the staging server

NODE_ENV=production DB_HOST=hive.cloudant.com PROXY_URL=https://hive-proxy.herokuapp.com gulp chrome-watch

On Chrome Extensions page, select "Developer mode" and use "Load unpacked extension" to load the extension from the build subdirectory.

Building a production version for the production server

NODE_ENV=production HIVE_ENV=production DB_HOST=hivewallet.cloudant.com PROXY_URL=https://hive-proxy.herokuapp.com gulp chrome-build

Then either use the "Extensions" page in Chrome to pack the extension into a .crx file, or use the Chrome Developer Dashboard to submit it to the Chrome Web Store. The .crx can be installed by manually dragging it to the Extensions page.

Contributing

Instructions

0. Make sure you want to make a change that's only relevant to hive-chrome, not to hive-js in general :)
1. Fork the repo
2. Push changes to your fork
3. Create a pull request

Note: please make changes in the least invasive way possible (e.g. add new files/sections instead of modifying existing files/sections), to minimize the amount of potential merge conflicts when pulling upstream changes.

Working with upstream

Preferred way of working with local and upstream branches:

• the main branch of the chrome version is master

• chrome-specific changes go to master (or to feature branches which are merged to master later)

• the upstream branch tracks the latest stable upstream version

• to pull a new version:

    # only first time
    git remote add upstream git@github.com:hivewallet/hive-js.git
    git branch upstream --track origin/upstream
  
    git fetch upstream
    git checkout upstream
    git merge <whatever_is_the_latest_stable_tag>
    git push
    git checkout master
    git merge upstream
    # ... work through any merge conflicts, check if it works etc.
    git push
