Marcipanas wrote a guide on how to use the extension’s features.

Installation

Supported platforms: Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, etc.). This guide is based on racsofp’s guide.

1. Download the current version from the releases page. The file you look for has the format AES-vX.X.X.zip where the X is replaced with numbers. Example: AES-v0.6.8.zip
2. Unzip it.
3. Open your browser and go to the expansion page.
   • Chrome: chrome://extensions
   • Edge: edge://extensions
4. In the upper right corner is a slide bar that says enable developer. Enable it.
5. In the upper left should be a button that says Load unpacked. Click it.
6. Find the folder (unzipped!) from part 2 and select it.

The extensions should be added, and you can enable it.

Please note

Until AES is available on the Chrome web store, please apply this method to install it manually.

History

Marcipanas is the original developer of this extension. It seems they ceased development sometime in 2020. The community has published some updates in the meantime, but no continued development has happened since.

Developer Features

These features make developing for AES easier.

Notifications

AES comes with its own notification API. This uses AS’ notification style and location. The AES notification API consists of two components: Notifications and Notification.

Usage

Notifications should only be used as a response to an action by the user; don’t add notifications on a page load.

Initiate the Notifications:

To start using the notification API create a new Notifications:

const notifications = new Notifications()

Add a new notification

To add a notification:

notifications.add("The settings have been updated")

By default, a new notification comes with the success styling (a checkmark icon and a green background). The style can be changed by passing an option object:

notifications.new("Failed to save data", {type: "warning"})

The possible values for type are:

• "success"
• "warning"
• "error"
