Linera Web client

This repository implements a Web client for the Linera protocol.

Building

Setup

This repository contains a Nix flake that precisely specifies its build environment. The easiest way to set up the build environment is to install Nix with flake support (e.g. using the Determinate Nix installer) and then run nix develop to enter the build environment.

Currently we only support building on Linux (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu).

Building

The project builds with pnpm. First install the JavaScript dependencies:

pnpm install

Then build the extension:

cd extension
pnpm build:extension

This will result in an unpacked Manifest v3 extension in extension/dist/extension.

Installation

After successfully running pnpm build, the extension can be loaded into Chrome or Chromium:

• Open the settings menu.
• Select ‘Extensions’ → ‘Manage Extensions’.
• Enable ‘Developer mode’. This will show an option ‘Load unpacked’.
• Navigate to the extension/dist directory and select it.
• You've installed the extension!

By default extension icons are hidden behind a top-level ‘Extensions’ menu in the browser toolbar; to make access easier, you can pin this extension to have it appear at the top level next to the ‘Extensions’ icon.

Development

Environment

For development, you can also use pnpm build --watch to automatically rebuild the extension on change. Changes to the client worker will not propagate to the extension, but once you run wasm-pack build they will be picked up.
