Passive Aggressive Email Translator Extension

Screenshots

For developers

First get the code and build it:

# get code
git clone https://github.com/dimshik100/passive-aggressive-email-translator/

# get dependencies and build
npm install
npm run build

Now ensure the code loads and works:

• Load the "dist" folder containing the extension (or manifest.json) in your browser.

  1. Open the Extension Management page by navigating to chrome://extensions. The Extension Management page can also be opened by clicking on the Chrome menu, hovering over More Tools then selecting Extensions.

  2. Enable Developer Mode by clicking the toggle switch next to Developer mode.

  3. Click the LOAD UNPACKED button and select the extension directory.

  4. Ta-da! The extension has been successfully installed. Because no icons were included in the manifest, a generic toolbar icon will be created for the extension.

• Load mail.google.com in your browser and open the developer console.

You should be greeted by a message saying the following

Hello, <you>. This is your passive aggressive extension talking!

If that works, you should now be ready to customize the extension-code. Do this by editing extension.js.

This extension is using gmail.js library.

gmail should be exposed in the developer console as a global variable.

You can use this to play around and get familiar with the API.

Cheers!
