Chrome New Tab Override Boilerplate

What is this?

A boilerplate code for a simplistic new-tab-override-extension for Chrome browser to spare you the setup. Just run npm run build and start editting newtab.html file generated in the dist folder

Feel free to fork this repo :)

Installation

• Install dependencies with npm i
• Build with npm run build. This will create a dist folder with static files
• In Chrome navigate to the extensions page chrome://extensions/
• Click Load unpacked and choose dist folder
• Open a new tab and you should see the new tab override

Building

npm run prebuild : removes dist folder npm run postbuild : copies manifest.json file into dist npm run build : outputs static files to dist folder (if it doesn't exist); runs prebuild + build + postbuild commands

Development

npm run dev will build, watch and serve the files at http://localhost:1234
