This project is a boilerplate for building Chrome extensions using TypeScript, SCSS, and Webpack. It provides a solid and simple starting point for building robust and maintainable extensions.
- TypeScript for static typing and improved code quality
- SCSS for styling
- Webpack for bundling and optimization
To get started, clone the repository and install the dependencies:
git clone https://github.com/SamuPert/chrome-extension-boilerplate.git
cd chrome-extension-boilerplate
npm installNext, build the extension using webpack:
npm run buildFinally, load the extension into Chrome:
Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions/.
- Enable "Developer mode".
- Click "Load unpacked".
- Select the
distfolder from the cloned repository. - The extension should now be loaded and running in your browser.
To start a development server with hot reloading, run the following command:
npm run devThis will automatically compile the extension whenever changes are made to the code.
To build the extension for production, run the following command:
npm run buildThe optimized and bundled extension will be placed in the dist folder, ready for deployment.
