Nushell script that downloads an extension and copies its ID to clipboard

[emonadeo]

Requires external commands wl-copy (from wl-clipboard) and unzip (from unzip).

get_plugin_id.nu

def main [name: string] {
	http get $"https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/($name)/latest.xpi" | save $"($name).xpi"
	^unzip $"($name).xpi" "-d" $name
	open $"($name)/manifest.json" | get browser_specific_settings.gecko.id | wl-copy
	rm -r $name
	rm $"($name).xpi"
}

Example:

nu get_plugin_id.nu decentraleyes

This downloads the extension, unzips it, grabs the ID, puts it into the user's clipboard and cleans up all the downloaded and unzipped files.
