This extension decodes responses from canisters into something more readable:

Development

For development with automatic reloading:

npm run start

Open the Extensions Dashboard, enable "Developer mode", click "Load unpacked", and choose the dist folder.

You will see the "Dfinity" tab in your devtools window.

When you make changes in src the background script and any content script will reload automatically.

Production

When it's time to publish your Chrome extension, make a production build to submit to the Chrome Web Store. This boilerplate will use the version in package.json, unless you add a version to src/manifest.json.

Make sure you have updated the name and version of your extension in package.json.

Run the following line:

npm run build

This will create a ZIP file with your package name and version in the releases folder.
