The Are.na Toolkit is a development environment for tools interoperating with Are.na.
git clone git@github.com:hxrts/arena-toolkit.git- From chrome://extensions/ make sure the "Developer mode" box in the top right is checked.
- Click “Load unpacked extension…” and select the Are.na Toolkit repo directory. Alternatively, drag the repo folder from your file browser onto the Chrome extensions page.
Repo includes a modified version of xpl's reloading script to refresh the background processes on detection of file changes. This script will also attempt to auto-refresh last focused Are.na window to flush content.js.
New tools welcome by pull request. Or, fork this repo and make your own project.
Use any framework or language you like. Start by placing your tool code into a new subdirectory of /tools, add any requred imports to manifest.json, and then take a look at a tool like Print Are.na for an example of how to begin (more documentation coming soon).
Core code will aim for idomatic.js, but tools can be developed in the style of the author's choosing.
