3. Use following commands to run development lifecyle events:

        npm run clean       // to clean the ouput directory

        npm run build:dev   // build the source code inside 'dist' directory.

        npm run serve       // host the 'dist' on a web server at port 3000 (default)

        npm start           // start the development cycle (build t he code, serve it and watch for changes)

NOTE: In order to live reload the extension in chrome, the project used `chromereload.js` script which makes a

websocket connection with livereload server running and watch for 'reload' command. Make sure to remove this file
