## Development

To run a devleopment build, we can use the `web-ext` extension. https://github.com/mozilla/web-ext

When using the v2 manifest version, you may find it works better in Chromium, as Firefox doesn't seem to show network requests in its debug.

In one terminal, start one of the following `web-ext` scripts.

> npm run start:chrome -- --chromium-binary=chromium

> npm run start:firefox -- --firefox=firefoxdeveloperedition

This will open a clean profile browser. You'll need to create a new WTM account and log in to Facebook.

Then in another terminal, you can build after each change. Use the one appropriate to your environment.

> npm run build-chrome

> npm run build-firefox

## Semantic Versioning

You can update the version of the repository with proper prefixes. For instance, prefix your commit message with `feat:` for a minor version update or `BREAKING CHANGE` for a major version update. Please be aware that updating this will cause the package to be updated in npm registry upon merging to `master`.
