This library provides a convenient way to present inline options for your firefox addon, matching the classic style of inline options from legacy addons.
The following settings controls are provided:
- Checkbox (boolean)
- Numberbox (integer)
- Textbox (string)
- Dropdown (string)
- Radio Buttons (string)
- Button
To use FirefoxInlineOptions in your addon, extract the contents of Release.zip into a subfolder, options/, for example. Then, in your manifest, reference the options.html page:
"options_ui": {
"page": "options/options.html"
},
Finally, edit the options/options-config.js to define the settings that should be shown. Each setting must have a key, which is passed to browser.storage.local.get and .set to read and write the setting value. The setting must also have a type describing what sort of control should be used for it. See the options-config.js file for more details.
Buttons work by sending a message with their key as the message. Your background script can listen for these messages to respond appropriately. See the Example addon for an demonstration of this.
