💻 Development

Dev tools

• TypeScript
• pnpm - fast, disk space efficient package manager
• esno - TypeScript / ESNext node runtime powered by esbuild
• npm-run-all - Run multiple npm-scripts in parallel or sequential
• web-ext - Streamlined experience for developing web extensions

Start Dev Server

pnpm dev

Then load extension in browser with the extension/ folder.

For Firefox developers, you can run the following command instead:

pnpm start:firefox

web-ext auto reloads the extension when extension/ files changed.

While Vite handles HMR automatically in the most of the case, Extensions Reloader is still recommanded for cleaner hard reloading.

Build

To build the extension, run

pnpm build

And then pack files under extension, you can upload extension.crx or extension.xpi to appropriate extension store.
