Steward was inspired by Alfred, the productivity wizard of the Mac. In Chrome, most browser operations, such as extensions, bookmarks, TAB page management, and so on, can be done by simply typing certain commands through Steward.
Steward is free and open source. The code is hosted on Github, installed from the Chrome App Store, or downloaded offline from Oksteward.com.
The plug-in
Steward has a number of built-in plug-ins that make it easy to perform most browser operations, as documented in the official documentation.
Of course, as a command launcher, it’s not enough just to have a lot of plug-ins, it has to be easy for people to create their own plug-ins and share them.
Plug-in to write
Since V3.5.1, Steward has opened up the API documentation and provided a Plugin editor. Creating a new plugin with one click usually requires very little javascript code.
Plug-in release
After the plug-in has been written and tested locally, fork the Steward repository, place the plug-in file in the./plugins directory of the repository, note the necessary information about the plug-in in the data.json directory at the root, and issue a Merge Request.
Plug-in installation
Once new commits are merged, they can be viewed or installed via SPM List or SPM Install.
The plugin updates
Simply update the version field in the plugin file and data.json file at the same time as the plugin code, and the user will be prompted and updated by the SPM install command.
