Scaffold out a boilerplate for creating a chrome extension with up-to-date tools and autoreload of the extension
The boilerplate repo is here.
This project is born because of the lack of chrome extension starter kits which aren't from 2013 and don't use bower.
Gulp 4 is used to manage all the tasks and wire the tools together, it was chosen because it's easily hackable and configurable, you can make it fit and scale with your wildest chrome extension!
It uses webpack to bundle javascript and SCSS as a preprocessor. Babel transpiles all the future js stuff that hasn't landed in chrome yet, and there is a customizable eslint config file.
The development mode has autoreload of the chrome extension, meaning that when you change a file, the extension is loaded again in chrome! 🔥
