# JavaScript React Chrome Extension Boilerplate
A basic JavaScript React Chrome Extension boilerplate that gets you started quickly. It supports ES modules, JSX, and automatic reloading during development. Jest, ESLint and Prettier included, all bundled using [Rollup](https://rollupjs.org/guide/en/) and [`rollup-plugin-chrome-extension`](https://extend-chrome.dev/rollup-plugin).
## Get Started
### Using `create-react-crx`
Type this into your terminal:
```sh
npx create-react-crx
```
Follow the prompts to setup your Chrome extension project.
### Using `git clone`
Type this into your terminal:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/extend-chrome/js-react-boilerplate.git my-chrome-extension
cd my-chrome-extension
npm install
```
> 🖌️ Update your package name and version in `package.json` before you get started!
### Development
For development with automatic reloading:
```sh
npm run start
```
Open the [Extensions Dashboard](chrome://extensions), enable "Developer mode", click "Load unpacked", and choose the `dist` folder.
When you make changes in `src` the background script and any content script will reload automatically.
### Production
When it's time to publish your Chrome extension, make a production build to submit to the Chrome Web Store. This boilerplate will use the version in `package.json`, unless you add a version to `src/manifest.json`.
> Make sure you have updated the name and version of your extension in `package.json`.
Run the following line:
```sh
npm run build
```
This will create a ZIP file with your package name and version in the `releases`
folder.
## Source Layout
Your manifest is at `src/manifest.json`, and Rollup will bundle any files you
include here. All the filepaths in your manifest should point to files in `src`.
## Features
- Uses Rollup to bundle your extension
- Chrome Extension automatic reloader
- Jest configuration for testing
