Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

cra-template-complex-browserext-typescript

A TypeScript template for bootstrapping complex Chrome/Firefox/(any Chromium-based browser) extensions, to be used with Create React App v3.3.0 and higher.

Article

Regular version of this template

Usage

npx create-react-app my-app --template complex-browserext-typescript

Includes

Features

This template replaces the default single entry point with the following multiple ones:

  • popup (src/index.tsx) - extension's popup page, replaces the default index entry point.
  • options (src/options.tsx) - extension's options page.
  • background (src/background.ts) - background script.
  • content (src/content.ts) - content script.

Notes

Index/popup entry point still refers to src/index (which can't be changed) and the respective HTML template still refers to public/index.html, whereas the respective output (both JS and HTML) uses 'popup' in its filename template.

Any listed entry point except index/popup may be excluded from compilation. See config-overrides.js file for details on config customization.

The default CRA's development mode is incompatible with this template cause, unlike regular web pages, browser extensions can't be hosted on server. So running npm start script doesn't make sense (though it's still available).

This template uses the same simple React component test from older CRA versions (prior to v3.3.0) for popup and options' React components. If you want to use more advanced tests like in CRA v3.3.0 and higher, look at the official base template sources for example.

CRA and Jest aren't aware of Chrome API or WebExtensions API. So if you want to use these APIs in your tests, you have to mock all used API methods (manually or with help of 3rd-party libraries).
