This code base was forked from Highlight This: finds and marks words with many thanks to, and the permision of, Wim Deboel.
- Simply fork this repository
- Open chrome://extensions/
- Turn on Developer mode in the upper right corner
- Click the "Load unpacked", and select the root directory of the repository ... something like /Users/stevepodell/WebstormProjects/WeVoteExtension
- And the We Vote icon should appear in the top toolbar of chrome
- Clicking the "background page" link opens a chrome devtools instance that can be used to debug your "Content Script" (Content scripts are the only component of an extension that has access to the web-page's DOM).
Nuggets:
- That "Errors" button on the chrome://extensions/ shows some code validation errors, and some runtime errors. It can be useful, but not as useful as the "background page" devtools.
