Usage:

const ChromeExtensionManifest = require('chrome-extension-manifest-webpack-plugin');

new ChromeExtensionManifest({
        inputFile: '../path/to/manifest.json',
        outputFile: '../path/to/manifest.json',
        replace: [{
           pattern: /__FOO__/g,
           value: args.foo
        }],
        hash: {
          pattern: /\[hash\]/g,
        },
        props: {
            version: getVersion(args.version)     
        }
})

  value: value to be replaced with

• options: An object containing optional flags
