## Installation 1. Clone this repository.( ```git clone https://github.com/Jonghakseo/chrome-extension-boilerplate-react-vite``` ) 2. Ensure your node version is >= than in `.nvmrc` file, recommend to use [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm?tab=readme-ov-file#intro) 3. Edit `/packages/i18n/locales/`{your locale(s)}/`messages.json` 4. In the objects `extensionDescription` and `extensionName`, change the `message` fields (leave `description` alone) 5. Install pnpm globally: `npm install -g pnpm` 6. Run `pnpm install` 7. Check if you have that configuration in your IDE/Editor: - VS Code: - Installed [ESLint extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=dbaeumer.vscode-eslint) - Installed [Prettier extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=esbenp.prettier-vscode) - Enabled `Typescript Workbench version` in settings: - CTRL + SHIFT + P -> Search: `Typescript: Select Typescript version...` -> `Use Workbench version` - [Read more](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/typescript#_using-newer-typescript-versions) - Optional, for imports to work correctly in WSL, you might need to install the [Remote - WSL](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-wsl) extension and connect to WSL remotely from VS Code. See overview section in the extension page for more information. - WebStorm: - Configured [ESLint](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/eslint.html#ws_eslint_configure_run_eslint_on_save) - Configured [Prettier](https://prettier.io/docs/en/webstorm.html) - Optional, but useful `File | Settings | Tools | Actions on Save`\ -> `Optimize imports` and `Reformat code` 8. Run `pnpm update-version ` for change the `version` to the desired version of your extension. > [!IMPORTANT] > On Windows, make sure you have WSL enabled and Linux distribution (e.g. Ubuntu) installed on WSL. > > [Installation Guide](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install) Then, depending on the target browser: ### For Chrome: 1. Run: - Dev: `pnpm dev` (on Windows, you should run as administrator; see [issue#456](https://github.com/Jonghakseo/chrome-extension-boilerplate-react-vite/issues/456)) - Prod: `pnpm build` 2. Open in browser - `chrome://extensions` 3. Check - Developer mode 4. Click - Load unpacked in the upper left corner 5. Select the `dist` directory from the boilerplate project ### For Firefox: 1. Run: - Dev: `pnpm dev:firefox` - Prod: `pnpm build:firefox` 2. Open in browser - `about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox` 3. Click - Load Temporary Add-on... in the upper right corner 4. Select the `./dist/manifest.json` file from the boilerplate project > [!NOTE] > In Firefox, you load add-ons in temporary mode. That means they'll disappear after each browser close. You have to > load the add-on on every browser launch. ## Install dependency for turborepo: ### For root: 1. Run `pnpm i -w` ### For module: 1. Run `pnpm i -F ` `package` - Name of the package you want to install e.g. `nodemon` \ `module-name` - You can find it inside each `package.json` under the key `name`, e.g. `@extension/content-script`, you can use only `content-script` without `@extension/` prefix ## How do I disable modules I'm not using? [Read here](packages/module-manager/README.md) ## Environment variables Read: [Env Documentation](packages/env/README.md) ## Boilerplate structure ### Chrome extension The extension lives in the `chrome-extension` directory and includes the following files: - [`manifest.ts`](chrome-extension/manifest.ts) - script that outputs the `manifest.json` - [`src/background`](chrome-extension/src/background) - [background script](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/background_pages/) (`background.service_worker` in manifest.json) - [`public`](chrome-extension/public/) - icons referenced in the manifest; content CSS for user's page injection > [!IMPORTANT] > To facilitate development, the boilerplate is configured to "Read and change all your data on all websites". > In production, it's best practice to limit the premissions to only the strictly necessary websites. See > [Declaring permissions](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/concepts/declare-permissions) > and edit `manifest.js` accordingly. ### Pages Code that is transpiled to be part of the extension lives in the [pages](pages) directory. - [`content`](pages/content) - Scripts injected into specified pages (You can see it in console) - [`content-ui`](pages/content-ui) - React Components injected into specified pages (You can see it at the very bottom of pages) - [`content-runtime`](pages/content-runtime/src/) - [injected content scripts](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/concepts/content-scripts#functionality) This can be injected from e.g. `popup` like standard `content` - [`devtools`](pages/devtools/) - [extend the browser DevTools](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/how-to/devtools/extend-devtools#creating) (`devtools_page` in manifest.json) - [`devtools-panel`](pages/devtools-panel/) - [DevTools panel](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/devtools/panels) for [devtools](pages/devtools/src/index.ts) - [`new-tab`](pages/new-tab/) - [override the default New Tab page](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/ui/override-chrome-pages) (`chrome_url_overrides.newtab` in manifest.json) - [`options`](pages/options/) - [options page](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/ui/options-page) (`options_page` in manifest.json) - [`popup`](pages/popup/) - [popup](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/action#popup) shown when clicking the extension in the toolbar (`action.default_popup` in manifest.json) - [`side-panel`](pages/side-panel/) - [sidepanel (Chrome 114+)](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/sidePanel) (`side_panel.default_path` in manifest.json) ### Packages Some shared packages: - `dev-utils` - utilities for Chrome extension development (manifest-parser, logger) - `env` - exports object which contain all environment variables from `.env` and dynamically declared - `hmr` - custom HMR plugin for Vite, injection script for reload/refresh, HMR dev-server - `i18n` - custom internationalization package; provides i18n function with type safety and other validation - `shared` - shared code for the entire project (types, constants, custom hooks, components etc.) - `storage` - helpers for easier integration with [storage](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/storage), e.g. local/session storages - `tailwind-config` - shared Tailwind config for entire project - `tsconfig` - shared tsconfig for the entire project - `ui` - function to merge your Tailwind config with the global one; you can save components here - `vite-config` - shared Vite config for the entire project Other useful packages: - `zipper` - run `pnpm zip` to pack the `dist` folder into `extension-YYYYMMDD-HHmmss.zip` inside the newly created `dist-zip` - `module-manager` - run `pnpm module-manager` to enable/disable modules - `e2e` - run `pnpm e2e` for end-to-end tests of your zipped extension on different browsers
