|
### Important Changes
|
|
|
|
- Since v0.2.0, most of the workspace bottom-left buttons are moved to menu bar.
|
|
- Since v0.5.0, workspace will open as a Zotero tab by default. `Menu -> File -> Open in New Window` or press `shift` while clicking the Open Workspace button to use the standalone mode.

## Development & Contributing
|
|
|
|
This add-on is built on the Zotero Addon Template of [zotero-pdf-translate](https://github.com/windingwind/zotero-pdf-translate).
|
|
|
|
### Build
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
# A release-it command: version increase, npm run build, git push, and GitHub release
|
|
# You need to set the environment variable GITHUB_TOKEN https://github.com/settings/tokens
|
|
# release-it: https://github.com/release-it/release-it
|
|
npm run release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, build it directly using build.js: `npm run build`
|
|
|
|
### Build Steps
|
|
|
|
1. Clean `./builds`
|
|
2. Copy `./addon` to `./builds`
|
|
3. Esbuild to `./builds/addon/chrome/content/scripts`
|
|
4. Replace `__buildVersion__` and `__buildTime__` in `./builds/addon`
|
|
5. Zip the `./builds/addon` to `./builds/*.xpi`
|
|
|
|
### Debug
|
|
|
|
1. Copy zotero command line config file. Modify the commands.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cp zotero-cmd-default.json zotero-cmd.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Setup addon development environment following this [link](https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/client_coding/plugin_development#setting_up_a_plugin_development_environment).
|
|
|
|
3. Build addon and restart Zotero with this npm command.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm run restart
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also debug code in these ways:
|
|
|
|
- Test code segments in Tools->Developer->Run Javascript;
|
|
- Debug output with `Zotero.debug()`. Find the outputs in Help->Debug Output Logging->View Output;
|
|
- UI debug. Zotero is built on the Firefox XUL framework. Debug XUL UI with software like [XUL Explorer](https://udn.realityripple.com/docs/Archive/Mozilla/XUL_Explorer).
