BackerTracker Extension by BackerKit

Shows the BackerTracker widget on Kickstarter and BackerKit Crowdfunding project pages. One Manifest V3 build runs in Chrome, Edge and Firefox.

Indiegogo was supported until 9.3 and was removed in 9.4.

Development

npm install
npm run dev          # launch Firefox with the extension, reloading on change
npm run dev:chrome   # same, in Chromium

Tests

npm test                             # unit tests (Vitest + jsdom)
npx playwright install chromium      # once
npm run test:system                  # loads the extension in Chromium
npm run lint                         # web-ext lint (Firefox/AMO rules)

Releasing

1. Bump version in src/manifest.json and merge to master.

2. Tag the merge commit with the same version and push the tag:

   git tag v9.4 && git push origin v9.4

The Build extension workflow (.github/workflows/build.yml) runs the tests and builds dist/backertracker-extension-<version>.zip on every pull request and push to master; the zip is downloadable from the run's artifacts. It can also be started by hand from the Actions tab. On a tag it also attaches the zip to a GitHub Release and uploads it to each store that has credentials set:

Store	Account	Repo secrets	Repo variables
Firefox Add-ons	maxwell@	AMO_JWT_ISSUER, AMO_JWT_SECRET
Chrome Web Store	greetings@	CHROME_CLIENT_ID, CHROME_CLIENT_SECRET, CHROME_REFRESH_TOKEN	CHROME_EXTENSION_ID
Edge Add-ons		EDGE_CLIENT_ID, EDGE_API_KEY	EDGE_PRODUCT_ID

A store with no credentials is skipped; upload npm run build's zip to it by hand.

Built zips go to dist/, which is not committed. Releases up to 9.3 are in git history.
