### Add a new feature
To add a new feature, please follow these guidelines.
Note: (I will probably make this automated in the future but it's a bit of work right now)
#### Identifier
- Should be a unqiue one/two word storage identifier to indicate it's status. (ie "dark_mode" or "dashboard_grades")
- If it has sub options (options that are specific to the main feature) these will also each need a unique identifier.
- All options are synced and have a 8kb storage limit, so if your feature needs more than this please contact me.
#### Changes to html/popup.html
- Add the appropriate HTML into this file. The corresponding id and name (see below) should be the identifier.
- If it has no sub options, it should be put in the same container as the other options with no sub options:
```
```
- If it does have sub options it becomes it's own container:
```
```
#### Changes to js/popup.js
- Add the main identifier into the `syncedSwitches` array.
- If you have sub-options:
- Add these identifiers to the array found under the comment that says `//checkboxes`.
#### Changes to js/background.js
- Add all identifiers into the `syncedOptions` array.
- Add a default value for your option to the `default_options` array.
- Preferably this value should be `false` for booleans or ` ""` for strings (`null` can also be used if Canvas has a default for this option already)
#### Changes to js/content.js
- There should be a function(s) included in the this file that does the work. The name should clearly indicate it's purpose.
- Under `applyOptionsChanges()`, add a switch case to call this function when the menu toggle is changed.
- Depending on what your feature does, it needs to be told when to fire.
- If the function changes any aspect of the dashboard, it should be put inside `checkDashboardReady()`.
- If the function only adds css, it should be added to `applyAestheticChanges()`, and in this case should not be a separate function, instead add the css to the existing styles found in this function.
- Anything else should be put under `startExtension()` and should be placed no higher than the `checkDashboardReady` function found here.
### Add a new theme
To add a new theme, please follow these guidelines.
You can export a theme using the export tool in the menu and sending an email to me, or you can merge it here after doing the following:
#### Exporting
- Go to the Themes tab and export dark mode, card images, card colors, and custom font. - The only on/off toggles that need be included are `disable_color_overlay` and `gradient_cards`.
Any other toggles aren't necessary, so you should manually add these keys and the appropriate values in with the export code.
- Pick a unique id for the theme, doesn't matter how long this is.
#### Changes to js/popup.js
- Add the export code under `getTheme()`.
- Make sure it follows this format: `"theme-: { "exports": {"..."}, "preview": "..." }`
- For the preivew, try to pick the smallest image size from the card images (under ~50kb is perfect), or you can find a smaller display image that isn't included in the card images.
#### Changes to html/popup.html
- Add the following under all the other theme buttons:
```
```
- The theme name should be one/two words so it doesn't take up too much space.
