Creating the Skeleton

npx ext-skeleton <name> or npx ext-skeleton ./

Modifying the skeleton

Install node modules and build the extension

• terminal -> npm i
• terminal -> npm run build:extension
• Go To Chrome -> Manage Extensions -> Toggle Developer Mode -> Load Unpacked -> Select the dist folder

manifest.json

• Change name
• Change Version
• Add your icon in the manifest

// ./public/manifest.json
...
"name": "<YOUR_EXTENSION_NAME>",
"version": "<YOUR_VERSION> usually you start from 0.0.1",
"description": "<DESCRIBE_YOUR_EXTENSION>",
...

Remove the tutorial page (if you need to keep the new tab page just modify)

• Remove the components ./src/tutorialMain.tsx and ./src/components/tutorialPage folder
• Remove the example component of the popup ./src/popup/components/ComponentExample.tsx
• Update the ./vite.config.ts build

...
input: {
    main: 'index.html',
    // <tutorial: 'tutorial-page.html'> (remove this)
},
...

Or modify it if you would want to use this page as your new tab page.

Define the different components of your extension from the examples

• Background script
• Content script
• Popup
• Context menu
• Storage
• Ports
• Inject script
• Inject function

You can add or remove components as you please in order to define your strategy for the extension.

Because of modularity, you can just remove a specific module and it will not affect the rest of the extension.
