Description Khad 2016-05-21 02:36:16 UTC 
Gnome extension so cool , we can write extension just by using javascript

Please add more documentation for developer to create gnome extension.  
Currently it is very minimal, no gjs/javascript API ref

And also maybe better debugging tool for gnome extension

Thanks

Could describe which specific aspects you are missing on https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeShell/Extensions/StepByStepTutorial ? Or which page were you looking at? We need *specific* input to make things better. :) Thanks!
Comment 2 Khad 2016-05-23 10:49:16 UTC 
For example: 
1) What widget should be placed in panel? Button? Bin?
2) St.Label class, what is St anyway :) ? What methods/fields available on that class
3) What other available classes can be called from javascript
4) How to exec other app/command line and read its output
5) Gio, how to read files? For example in /proc/
6) Best practice to create extension's preferences?

Thanks
