DownThemAll!

The first and only download manager/accelerator built inside Firefox!

Developing

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Setting_up_extension_development_environment Just clone the repository and use an extension proxy file. No additional build step required.

Pull requests welcome. By submitting code you agree to license it under MPL v2 unless explicitly specified otherwise.
Please stick to the general coding style.
Please also always add unit tests for all new js modules and new module functions.
Unit tests for UI (overlays) aren't required at the moment, but welcome. There is currently no infrastructure to run those, though.

See make.py.

modules/glue.jsm - This is basically the main module, also specifying the general environment for all modules and window scopes.
modules/main.js - General setup.
modules/loaders/ - "overlay" scripts. Different to traditional Firefox add-ons, DownThemAll! does not use real overlays and overlay scripts, but kind of simulates overlays via modules.
chrome/content/ - UI. Right now, due to historical reasons and some too-tight coupling the UI JS also contains some of the important data structures such as QueueItem (representing a single queued download)
Please note that being restartless requires code to clean up after itself, i.e. if you modify something global you need to reverse the modifications when the add-on is unloaded. See unload()and unloadWindow() (in glue.jsm and/or support/overlays.js)
Please make use of the niceties Firefox JS (ES6) and of the global helpers from glue.jsm, in particular:
- for of loops
- Sets and (weak) maps
- generators
- comprehensions and destructoring assignment
- Object.freeze(), Object.defineProperties(), etc.
- log()
- lazy()/lazyProto()
- Services and Instances
