👋 Introduction

webext is a small library that gives a Firefox WebExtension typed, default-aware settings and a promise adapter over browser and chrome. It is designed for extensions that ship their source as-is, so it is vendored into the repo as a single script rather than resolved at runtime. For the interface side, see the sibling webext-ui library.

What's here

• 📦 Vendoring — getting the built file into a no-build extension and loading it in every context
• ⚙️ Settings — defineSettings, defaults, change subscriptions and failure behaviour
• 🔌 API and messaging — api, invoke and sendToActiveTab
• 🚀 Releasing extensions — the reusable workflows that sign, upload and list an extension on AMO
