A command-line tool that scaffolds Chrome extension projects with preconfigured Webpack, supporting JavaScript and TypeScript. It generates project structure, dev watch mode, and production build/pack commands for publishing to the Chrome Web Store.

Use cases

• scaffold a new chrome extension project
• set up webpack for a browser extension without manual config
• create a chrome extension boilerplate with popup or devtools page
• build and zip an extension for chrome web store publishing
• start developing a chrome extension in typescript

When to choose

• you want a zero-config starting point for a Chrome extension
• you prefer a create-react-app-like experience with Webpack preconfigured
• you need watch mode and packaging built in

When to avoid

• you use Vite or another bundler instead of Webpack
• you target Firefox/Safari extensions needing cross-browser tooling
• you want a full framework with HMR and advanced extension features
