DevTools Hackday June 26, 2012
We’re having a DevTools Hackday tomorrow, June 26th to create some commands for the newly-landed Global Command Line Interface. (Joe blogged about it here). It’s still new and waiting for you to write some excellent new commands for it. Got a thing you’d like Firefox to do? Feel like hacking a little Browser JS? This is the place to do it.
Join us in IRC in #devtools on irc.mozilla.org.
There’s an MDN page that shows you what you need to get started. It boils down to this simple template you can run in a browser Scratchpad:
Components.utils.import("resource:///modules/devtools/gcli.jsm");
gcli.addCommand({
name: 'hello',
description: 'Show a message',
params: [
{
name: 'name',
type: 'string',
description: 'Who to say hello to',
}
],
exec: function(args, context) {
return 'Good morning, ' + args.name;
}
});
I’ll be hanging out in 10-Forward in Mountain View if you want to meet up and get your HACK on. There will be snacks.
