Build Cesium as a Web extension

Cesium can be build as Web extension, for Mozilla Firefox extension (.xpi) and Chrome/Chromium (.crx).

Prerequisites

Install the development environment

Follow all the steps defined in the Development guide.

After that you should be able to start the application using yarn run start, and to test it.

Build the web extension

  • To create an uncompressed extension, use :

       cd cesium
   gulp build
   gulp webExtCompile --release

    The uncompressed web extension will be visible dist/web/ext

  • To create a portable and compressed ZIP extension :

       cd cesium
   gulp build
   gulp webExtBuild --release

    The web extension is visible at dist/web/build/cesium-vx.y.z-extension.zip

Remove the option --release to skip creation of minified CSS and JS files (and source maps)

Publishing to Mozilla Addons

  • Make sure you have web-ext installed. If not, run:

       npm install -g web-ext

  • Sign your extension :

      # Define your credentials on addons.mozilla.org (your developer account)
  export AMO_JWT_ISSUER =   // username
  export AMO_JWT_SECRET =   // password

  # Will archive and upload your extension 
  cd cesium
  web-ext sign "--api-key=${AMO_JWT_ISSUER}" "--api-secret=${AMO_JWT_SECRET}" "--source-dir=dist/web/ext" "--artifacts-dir=${PROJECT_DIR}/dist/web/build"  --id=${WEB_EXT_ID} --channel=listed
