Hi, I am a beginner in javascript and learning to develop a Zotero plugin. The Zotero is based on the Firefox platform, the documents about the Zotero plugin is out of date. At first, I try to use WebExtension to build a plugin, as I have posted a [thread](https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/80693/can-i-use-webextensions-to-build-a-plugin-for-zotero#latest). dstillman suggests me to use bootstrapped extension . I read the content in the above link and something about bootstrapped extension.
Now I get stuck, I don't know how to build a toy plugin in XUL or bootstrapped. Can someone give me some links or references about developing Zotero plugin ? Some recommendations about development tools are also appreciated.
Best regards
Lin
I have a yeoman generator that outputs a skeleton plugin + build tools, but it uses a javascript variant called typescript. This appeals to some (like me), not to others.

Thank you for your reply. I might as well try this Yeoman and how can I find a generator for Zotero plugin?
