Publish Browser Extension

Publish an extension to all the extension stores in a single command!

Features

• Publish to the Chrome Web Store, Firefox Addon Store, and Edge Addon Store
• Helper script to generate secrets and configure options
• Upload sources ZIP to the Firefox Addon Store

Important

You are responsible for uploading and submitting an extension for the first time by hand. @equicord/publish-browser-extension does not provide tools for creating a new extension.

Install

npm i -D @equicord/publish-browser-extension
pnpm i -D @equicord/publish-browser-extension
bun i -D @equicord/publish-browser-extension

CLI Usage

To get started, run the init command. It will walk you through generating all the necessary environment variables/CLI flags, saving them to a .env.submit file:

publish-extension init

All CLI flags can be passed as environment variables instead. For example, setting the CHROME_CLIENT_ID environment variable is equivalent to passing --chrome-client-id. Just convert the flag to UPPER_SNAKE_CASE.

Then, just run the submit command, passing the ZIP files you want to submit:

publish-extension \
  --chrome-zip dist/chrome.zip \
  --firefox-zip dist/firefox.zip --firefox-sources-zip dist/sources.zip \
  --edge-zip dist/chrome.zip

publish-extension will automatically look for a .env.submit file and load it if it exists.

JS Usage

import { publishExtension } from '@equicord/publish-browser-extension';

publishExtension({
  dryRun: true,
  chrome: {
    zip: 'dist/chrome.zip',
    extensionId: '<cws-extension-id>',
    publisherId: '<cws-publisher-id>',
    clientId: '<gcp-client-id>',
    clientSecret: '<gcp-client-secret>',
    refreshToken: '<gcp-refresh-token>',
    skipSubmitReview: false,
    cancelPending: false,
    skipReview: false,
    publishType: false,
  },
  firefox: {
    zip: 'dist/firefox.zip',
    sourcesZip: 'dist/sources.zip',
    extensionId: '<addons-extension-id>',
    jwtIssuer: '<addons-jwt-issuer>',
    jwtSecret: '<addons-jwt-secret>',
    channel: '<listed|unlisted>',
  },
  edge: {
    zip: 'dist/chrome.zip',
    productId: "<edge-product-id>",
    clientId: "<edge-client-id>",
    apiKey: "<edge-api-key>",
    skipSubmitReview: false,
  },
})
  .then(results => console.log(results))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));

Contributor Setup

1. Install bun

2. Install dependencies

   bun i

3. Run the init command to generate a .env.submit file for testing

   bun publish-extension init

   [!WARNING]

   Make sure to set the Firefox channel to "unlisted", chrome's publish target to "trustedTesters", and don't submit the extension for review for Chrome or Edge. This will prevent you from accidentally releasing one of the test extensions publicly.

4. Run the dev commands to upload a test extension to the stores:

   bun dev:all
   bun dev:chrome
   bun dev:firefox
   bun dev:edge
