Solidjs Chrome Extension Template

This is a starter project for making a chrome extension using typescript and solidjs - using vite for the build tool.

It utilizes CRXJS to do the heavy lifting for configuring vite to build the necessary files for a chrome extension.

CRXJS uses the chrome manifest to discover the entry files needed for the extension, it's pretty cool stuff. Check out the docs for a better explanation.

npm run dev has been a bit buggy for me, when in doubt just opt for npm run build

Usage

Those templates dependencies are maintained via pnpm via pnpm up -Lri.

This is the reason you see a pnpm-lock.yaml. That being said, any package manager will work. This file can be safely be removed once you clone a template.

$ npm install # or pnpm install or yarn install
