# Favourite Colour
|
|
|
|
Shows and stores your favourite colour, in storage.sync in the about:addons page for the add-on.
|
|
|
|
Demonstrates:
|
|
|
|
* storing data with storage.sync
|
|
|
|
* reading data from storage.managed,
|
|
* creating an options page and opening it with `runtime.openOptionsPage()`.
|
|
|
|
To have Firefox read data from storage.managed, create a file with the following contents:
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "favourite-colour-examples@mozilla.org",
|
|
"description": "ignored",
|
|
"type": "storage",
|
|
"data": {
|
|
"colour": "management thinks it should be blue!"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Name the file `"favourite-colour-examples@mozilla.org.json"` and follow the instructions in the [`storage.managed` documentation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/storage/managed) to make the file discoverable by the extension (on OS X and Linux this means copying it to a specific location, while on Windows it means creating a specific registry key pointing to the file's location).
