GitHub Action
Browser Platform Publisher
A GitHub action from Plasmo to publish your browser extension to every web store/add-ons marketplace. This action and its dependencies are open-sourced under the MIT license. The core modules are:
In order to use this action, you will need to create a json file that contains the keys and optional configuration for each browser you wish to publish to.
To help you create it, we have provided a JSON schema that can be used with editors that support it, such as Visual Studio Code. This schema will provide intellisense and validation to ensure that your configuration is correct.
{
"$schema": "https://github.com/PlasmoHQ/bpp/raw/main/keys.schema.json"
}
NOTE: You should only specify the browsers you wish to publish to. If there are any invalid configuration, the action will fail! I.e, no empty key allowed such as
"chrome": {}
.
Each browser option is made of the following:
-
Mandatory browser specific tokens (see token guide)
-
Optional parameters:
-
zip
: The zip file containing the extension. The manifest.json file must be in the root of the zip file.{version}
can be used in the name and will be replaced by the version from your versionFile. -
file
: An alias for the zip property. -
verbose
: Enable verbose logging for the specific browser. -
versionFile
: Relative path to a json file which has a version field. Defaults to package.json -
notes
: [Edge Only] Provide notes for certification to the Edge Add-ons reviewers.
-
The final json might look like this:
{
"$schema": "https://github.com/PlasmoHQ/bpp/raw/main/keys.schema.json",
"chrome": {
"zip": "chromium_addon_{version}.zip",
"clientId": "1280623",
"clientSecret": "1!9us4",
"refreshToken": "7&as$a89",
"extId": "akszypg"
},
"firefox": {
"file": "firefox_addon.xpi",
"extId": "aaaaaaa-aaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddddddddddd",
"apiKey": "ab214c4d",
"apiSecret": "e%f253^gh"
},
"edge": {
"zip": "chromium_addon.zip",
"clientId": "aaaaaaa-aaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddddddddddd",
"clientSecret": "ab#c4de6fg",
"productId": "aaaaaaa-aaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddddddddddd",
"accessTokenUrl": "https://login.microsoftonline.com/aaaaaaa-aaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddddddddddd/oauth2/v2.0/token",
"notes": "This is a test submission"
}
}
Once you got your json file, you will need to copy its content into a GitHub secret. You can do this by following the instructions on creating encrypted secrets for a repository. In this example, we will use the secret name BPP_KEYS
.
Then, the action can be used as follows:
steps:
- name: Browser Platform Publish
uses: PlasmoHQ/bpp@v3
with:
keys: ${{ secrets.BPP_KEYS }}
The following parameters can be used to override the configuration in the keys file. Specifying options here will override those in the keys file.
