  • assets - static assets.
  • dist - built files, also serve stub entry for Vite on development.

Development

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 reload 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.
