Create React App Chrome Extension

Turn your shiny new create-react-app into a chrome extension.

Installation

The preferred method is using npx, which ships with npm 5.2+. In your new react app directory, run npx create-react-app-chrome-extension. This will add all of the relevant files.

If you don't have npx, you can run

yarn add -D create-react-app-chrome-extension
./node_modules/.bin/create-react-app-chrome-extension
yarn remove create-react-app-chrome-extension

Adding to Chrome

Go to chrome://extensions, and on the upper right toggle developer mode on. Run yarn build to create your bundle, and then drop the entire build folder onto the extensions page. And you're done!

Options

• --public=<dirname> - the public directory where to place background.js, entry.js, and where the manifest.json is located.
