#Mozilla Addons SDK extension for Komodo

Abstract: An extension for Komodo IDE / Edit to enable users toquickly and easily create, run, test and build Firefox extensions using the new Addons SDK.

Minimum Viable Extension: implement basic commands and expose them via a JS API, a custom menu and a set of default keybindings.

#####Minimum Viable Extension

• prefs: expose preferences for setting two key variables:
  • Firefox applicaation location
  • Addons SDK location
  • need to unpack and poach Dafi's prefs integration code
• run: implement cfx run
  • do-able as basic run command
• test: implement cfx test
  • do-able as basic run command
• build: implement cfx xpi
  • do-able as basic run command
• docs: implement cfx docs
  • best implemented as run in new terminal, it's a persitent process.
  • another approach might be to just launch the index.html in a new browser window?
• default key bindings for these commands?

####Bonus Points / 2.0:

• codeintel API catalog generation?
  • scrape the docs?
  • todo: pester Todd about the cix command-line build
  • also: the scraping script should generate ctags for vim et al

• Single argument: project name
  • create extension-safe version ( limit chars, lower-case, etc )
  • create directory with safe name
  • programmatically create project - required
  • in directory, run cfx init
  • bam!

• Simple Macro that creates a new Jetpack project DONE
  • hard-coded paths for cfx, etc
  • fire & forget
• Prefs for SDK path and Firefox path DONE
  • poached shamelessly from Morekomodo
• Implement the base commands as an API - 1/2 done
  • init
  • todo: run, test, docs
• figure out how to best make the functionality available to the user.
  • main methods are init but more importantly test and run
  • key bindings!
  • for now implemented Tools / SDK menu

• poor handling of prefs not being set.
• Komodo 5 doesn't work
