    • Chrome
      • yarn run dev:chrome
    • Firefox
      • yarn run dev:firefox

      • yarn run dev:opera
  • Load extension in browser

    • Choose the manifest.json file in the extracted directory
  • Opera

    • Load the extension via opera:extensions
    • Check the Developer Mode and load as unpacked from extension’s extracted directory.

Production

  • yarn run build builds the extension for all the browsers to extension/BROWSER directory respectively.

Note: By default the manifest.json is set with version 0.0.0. The webpack loader will update the version in the build with that of the package.json version. In order to release a new version, update version in package.json and run script.

Generating browser specific manifest.json

Update src/manifest.json file with browser vendor prefixed manifest keys

{
  "__chrome__name": "SuperChrome",
  "__firefox__name": "SuperFox",
  "__edge__name": "SuperEdge",
  "__opera__name": "SuperOpera"
}

if the vendor is chrome this compiles to:

{
  "name": "SuperChrome",
}

Add keys to multiple vendors by seperating them with | in the prefix

{
  __chrome|opera__name: "SuperBlink"
}

if the vendor is chrome or opera, this compiles to:

{
  "name": "SuperBlink"
}

See the original README of wext-manifest-loader package for more details
