CRXJS Vite Plugin

This starter uses CRXJS Vite plugin.

CRXJS Vite Plugin is a tool that helps you make Chrome Extensions using modern web development technology.

Things like HMR and static asset imports work out of the box so you can get started making a modern Chrome Extension, not configuring build tools.

CRXJS parses manifest.json to find the files to include in your extension. The manifest is the central document that declares most of the files and configuration for your extension, why do we need more?
