Create a new Extension in the Dashboard

The STAGING mode

If you have working code simply upload it

If you have working code simply upload it (YO Karl! ;-))

load the Resources — jQuery is already Preloaded for us!

run the code

optional but super nice and convenient

load images in CSS needs resource-image:// syntax

The STAGING Extension makes development easy

Download the STAGING extension and install it

Enable Developer mode

Load the extension

Load the extension

Extension is now installed and already running

All changes made in crossrider are available instantly BUT…

…reload the extension to make sure the changes are loaded

test on a http server - python -m SimpleHTTPServer FTW!

it’s ALIIIIIIVE (imagine the crazy scientist laughter…)

Extensions are powerful! The crossrider docs are your friend!

cross domain requests! I can use this for V2!

V2? Show all found images ok click of the Browser Button?

Sync with production to prepare launch

Push to production

In PRODUCTION mode code can’t be edited

Fine tune the appearance in the Settings

Icons and Information about the Extension are important

Allow users to download your Extension

Export the Extension so your users can find it!

The Chrome Developer Dashboard
