# TypeScript React Chrome Extension Boilerplate
## AlertUp

A basic TypeScript React Chrome Extension boilerplate that gets you started quickly. It supports **TypeScript**, **JSX**, and **automatic reloading** during development. Jest, ESLint and Prettier included, all bundled using [Rollup](https://rollupjs.org/guide/en/) and [`rollup-plugin-chrome-extension`](https://extend-chrome.dev/rollup-plugin).
Time to ditch RSS readers. Get alerts for your saved searchs on Upwork by just one click.

## Get Started
<a href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/alertup/kceaejcahcendbhocehkokcddakdoidh" target="_blank">![Chrome Web Store](https://img.shields.io/chrome-web-store/v/kceaejcahcendbhocehkokcddakdoidh?label=Chrome%20Web%20Store&style=for-the-badge)</a>

### Using `create-react-crx`
### Get Started

Type this into your terminal:
This project uses [crx-base](`https://github.com/sametcodes/crx-base`) as a base. You can find more information about how to get started and how to build the project in the documentation.

```sh
npx create-react-crx
```

Follow the prompts to setup your Chrome extension project.

### Using `git clone`

Type this into your terminal:

```sh
git clone https://github.com/extend-chrome/ts-react-boilerplate.git my-chrome-extension
cd my-chrome-extension
npm install
```

> 🖌️ Update your package name and version in `package.json` before you get started!
### Development

For development with automatic reloading:

```sh
npm run start
```

Open the [Extensions Dashboard](chrome://extensions), enable "Developer mode", click "Load unpacked", and choose the `dist` folder.

When you make changes in `src` the background script and any content script will reload automatically.

### Production

When it's time to publish your Chrome extension, make a production build to submit to the Chrome Web Store. This boilerplate will use the version in `package.json`, unless you add a version to `src/manifest.json`.

> Make sure you have updated the name and version of your extension in `package.json`.
Run the following line:

```sh
npm run build
```

This will create a ZIP file with your package name and version in the `releases`
folder.

## Source Layout

Your manifest is at `src/manifest.json`, and Rollup will bundle any files you
include here. All the filepaths in your manifest should point to files in `src`.

## Features

- Uses Rollup to bundle your extension
- Chrome Extension automatic reloader
- Jest configuration for testing
