The bitwarden browser extension is written using the Chrome Web Extension API and AngularJS.
Requirements
By default the extension is targeting the production API. If you are running the Core API locally, you'll need to switch the extension to target your local instance. Open src/services/apiService.js
and set self.baseUrl
and self.identityBaseUrl
to your local API instance (ex. http://localhost:5000
).
Then run the following commands:
npm install
gulp build
You can now load the extension into your browser through the browser's extension tools page:
- Chrome/Opera:
- Type
chrome://extensions
in your address bar to bring up the extensions page. - Enable developer mode (checkbox)
- Click the "Load unpacked extension" button, navigate to the
src
folder of your local extension instance, and click "Ok".
- Type
- Firefox
- Type
about:debugging
in your address bar to bring up the add-ons page. - Click the
Load Temporary Add-on
button, navigate to thesrc/manifest.json
file, and "Open".
