# Extension to Userscript CLI

A powerful command-line tool to convert browser extensions to userscripts with support for downloading from web stores.

## Installation

```bash
npm install -g extension-to-userscript
```

Or run directly:

```bash
npx extension-to-userscript
```

## Quick Start

```bash
# Convert from Chrome Web Store
ext2us convert https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/extension-id

# Convert local extension folder
ext2us convert ./my-extension/

# Convert CRX/XPI/ZIP file
ext2us convert extension.crx -o my-script.user.js

# Download only (no conversion)
ext2us download extension-id -s chrome
```

## Commands

### `convert <source>`

Convert an extension to userscript from various sources:

- **Web Store URL**: `https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/...`
- **Extension ID**: `abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456`
- **Local Archive**: `extension.crx`, `extension.xpi`, `extension.zip`
- **Local Directory**: `./extension-folder/`

#### Options

- `-o, --output <file>` - Output file path (default: `extension.user.js`)
- `-s, --store <type>` - Web store type: `chrome` or `firefox` (default: `chrome`)
- `-t, --target <type>` - Build target: `userscript` or `vanilla` (default: `userscript`)
- `-m, --minify` - Minify output (default: `true`)
- `--no-minify` - Disable minification
- `--temp-dir <dir>` - Custom temporary directory
- `--keep-temp` - Keep temporary files after conversion
- `-v, --verbose` - Verbose output with detailed information

#### Examples

```bash
# Convert Chrome extension with custom output
ext2us convert "https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/name/abcd..." -o my-script.user.js

# Convert Firefox addon
ext2us convert ublock-origin -s firefox --verbose

# Convert local extension without minification
ext2us convert ./extension-folder/ --no-minify

# Convert to vanilla JS target
ext2us convert extension.crx -t vanilla -o extension.js
```

### `download <url>`

Download extension from web store without converting:

#### Options

- `-o, --output <file>` - Output file path (auto-generated if not specified)
- `-s, --store <type>` - Web store type: `chrome` or `firefox` (default: `chrome`)

#### Examples

```bash
# Download Chrome extension
ext2us download extension-id

# Download Firefox addon
ext2us download addon-name -s firefox -o addon.xpi

# Download from URL

ext2us convert ext2.crx -o script2.user.js
```

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

1. **"Extension not found"**

   - Verify the extension ID or URL
   - Check if the extension is publicly available
   - Try using the full web store URL

2. **"Archive extraction failed"**

   - Ensure the file is a valid extension archive
   - Check file permissions
   - Verify the file isn't corrupted

3. **"Manifest parsing error"**

   - Ensure the extension contains a valid manifest.json
   - Check for JSON syntax errors
   - Verify required manifest fields are present

4. **"Download failed"**
   - Check internet connection
   - Verify the extension is still available
   - Try again later if web store is temporarily unavailable

### Debug Options

```bash
# Maximum verbosity
ext2us convert extension.crx -v --keep-temp

# Check temporary files
ls /tmp/ext2us-*
```

## Technical Details

### Supported Manifest Versions

- **Manifest V2**: Full support
- **Manifest V3**: Basic support (limitations apply)

### Browser Compatibility

Generated userscripts work with:

- Tampermonkey (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
- Greasemonkey (Firefox)
- Violentmonkey (Chrome, Firefox, Edge)

### API Coverage

The converter provides polyfills for:

- `chrome.storage` (local, sync, managed)
- `chrome.runtime` (sendMessage, onMessage, getURL, getManifest)
- `chrome.tabs` (query, create, sendMessage)
- `chrome.notifications` (create, clear, onClicked)
- `chrome.contextMenus` (create, remove, onClicked)
- And more...

### Limitations

- Service workers (MV3) have limited support
- Some privileged APIs cannot be polyfilled
- Cross-origin requests require proper @connect grants
- Vanilla target has significant CORS limitations
