Local development
Before making edits you will need to build the extension locally and side load it as a developer extension to test any changes.
The sourcing and processing logic is abstracted into a separate package called svg-gobbler-scripts here.
1. Clone the repo
Clone the repo to your local machine and navigate into the root directory.
cd svg-gobbler
2. Install dependencies
SVG Gobbler uses yarn to build the necessary dependencies.
yarn
3. Start and watch a build
For development with hot reloading use Vite:
yarn dev
This will build to the dist folder. To load the extension, open the Extensions Dashboard, enable "Developer mode", click "Load unpacked", and choose the dist folder.
When you make changes in src the background script and any content script will reload automatically.
4. Start the server
For a majority of the functionality you won't need a server. If you want to make some local fetch calls related to Node processes in a separate terminal session cd into the server directory.
cd server
Install the necessary dependencies
yarn
From this directory, compile the server function to the dist folder.
yarn build
In a separate terminal session serve the function on a local server.
yarn serve
This will startup the server and restart it any time a change is recompiled.
About
5 versions and 5+ years ago, this started as a pet project to improve the SVG Crowbar tool that is no longer being maintained by NY Times.
