Chrome Extension to shorten your looooong URL

Getting started

• Install dependencies

  yarn
  

• Create manifest.key see manifest docs used to development mode. We've setup a simplified way to do that by using the following command sequentially:

  yarn gen:cert # generate the certificate
  yarn gen:key # generate the key itself
  yarn gen:id # get the actual chrome id
  

  You can learn more about the key generation in this StackOverflow answer.

• First, copy manifest.key.example to key/manifest.key, to do that you can simply do the following

  yarn dev:setup
  

• Get your key and paste to key/manifest.key

• You can build the chrome extension using the following command, and the build will appear in dist folder.

  yarn build
  

• And then you can register your extension by opening extension url/setting in your Browser.

  • Edge: edge://extensions
  • Chrome: chrome://extensions

  Then you can set your extension setting to developer mode and load unpacked extension from our dist directory.
