Example Chrome Extension (CoffeeScript)

This is a blank template Chrome extension with a basic event/message passing skeleton for you to easily get started building a Chrome extension.

To compile the files locally, install CoffeeScript via npm install coffeescript, then run coffee -cw . to compile .coffee files every time you save. I have gitignored .js files to keep the directories clean.

I've also included Mixpanel for tracking, just drop an API key associated with your project into the mixpanel.js file.

MVC

• Popup script (view)
• Content script (controller)
• Background script (model)

Purpose

I wanted to create this for myself, as a start place for future extensions, but figured it might help you out as well. I hope it does.

Contributing
