##Chromium Dictionary
The Paideia Institute ### Install Navigate in Terminal (or God forbid, Command Prompt) to the directory where you want the code, and run the following: ```git clone https://github.com/breezykermo/chromium``` This will copy the code into a local repo.

```cd chromium``` and you are good to go. ### Develop on Chrome Open ```chrome://extensions/``` in a browser, and check the box that reads 'Developer Mode' in the top right-hand corner. Then click 'Load unpacked extension...' in the top-left, and select the 'chromium' folder that you just downloaded. You should now see the Chromium icon in your extensions bar. ### Getting Started Walk through the following tutorials (actually coding along in your own text editor will help you learn): -

[https://robots.thoughtbot.com/how-to-make-a-chrome-extension](https://robots.thoughtbot.com/how-to-make-a-chrome-extension) - [https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted) Create a new extension from scratch, and play around with it a little to get the hang of it.

Try to code some basic functionality.

Here are some ideas: - Console.log the CSS properties of a \<div\> when the mouse hovers over it. - When clicking the extension icon in the extension bars, turn all \<h3\> tags in the open tab green.

- Add the ability to add highlighted words to a list that is displayed in the top right-hand corner of the screen (the adding can happen on double click, as an option in a right-click menu, or in any other way).

After you've got the hang of it, read through the Chromium extension code, and once you understand it start making wonderous changes. ### Resources - [https://developer.chrome.com/extensions](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions) LICENSE:MIT
