chrome-extension-creator

Now with webpack support

Quickly start your chrome extension project with a working example from google.

Basic Usage

Usage:

npm i -g chrome-extension-creator

Then run one of the following commands in a directory you want a project folder in: Project name in this example: 'my-body-is-chrome'

cec my-body-is-chrome

or

cce my-body-is-chrome

or

create-chrome-extension my-body-is-chrome

or

chrome-extension-creator my-body-is-chrome

if a folder doesn't exist with the name 'my-body-is-chrome', it will create google's base example in a directory with the name 'my-body-is-chrome' and you will get this message:

DONE!
    run:
    cd my-body-is-chrome

    have fun!

Create A Webpack Starter Project

cec my-body-is-chrome --webpack

All commands from basic usage will work, just use the flag --webpack to initialize the project with webpack.

You will get the following output:

DONE!
    run:
    cd my-body-is-chrome
    npm i
    npm run build

    The basic chrome extension will compile to the 'build' directory by default.
    Source files are in the 'src' directory
  
    have fun!

You'll load your extension from the build directory.
